Enjoying this so far. In odd synchronicity, it made me more curious about the papers behind this article (which I need to look into) which suggests we're finding evidence there has never been a mass extinction: https://www.newscientist.com/article/2481371-theres-growing-evidence-the-big-fiv...

This book, of course, is pretty certain that there was!

shanaqui But also says that science changes, some of the stuff in the book will be wrong, and that that's good.

I did like learning about ancient crocodilians in a footnote -- they were bipedal and stood upright! Article with an example image: https://www.theguardian.com/science/2015/mar/20/revealed-the-terrifying-3m-long-...

February #BookSpin / #BookSpinBingo / #ReadYourKindle ♥️ Two Can Play was my “Someplace Cold” #FictionalTraveler pick and my “book where the setting is cold/icy” for #TBRTarot. I ended up DNFing ACOTAR for #LittensLoveRomance 🫣 But I might try it again at some point. Maybe romantasy just isn‘t my thing. #LitsyAtoZ More on Hell Followed With Us in the next post. It was also my favorite for February.

Gissy I like your reading journal😍so pretty👌 2w
MatchlessMarie @Gissy Thank you! I‘m a lefty so I try to counter my chicken scratch with stickers 🤭 2w

I‘ve loved the movies since I was a kid, but recently saw a review depicting the book as much more horrific and I immediately downloaded it. It was definitely more graphic and gorier. I was surprised by some of the different characters in the novel and the difference in who made it to the end. I kept reading it before bed and then feeling uneasy the rest of the night lol.

Do you think it‘s worth trying The Lost World next?

Larkken I remember it being interesting the scenes from book 2 that made it into the original movie, so if the difs between book & movie entertained you, that could be fun... I can't say that the plot was memorable though, lol! 3w
rwmg It's a long time since I read either of them but I think I enjoyed Conan Doyle's Lost World more. I remember crying my eyes out at the end of the B/W film. 3w

I just love that Ian Malcolm is allowed to have these pages long diatribes. 🙌

Time to revisit this one 🥰🥰🥰

AileenRR You‘re right! I read this in high school and it‘s time for a re-read 3w
CoveredInRust @AileenRR It's been so great! It feels to me like one of those books that has events that work well for the book and the changes they made for the movie also worked well. Kinda like a good example of how stories can need change to work well in different mediums. 3w
