I have stacks and stacks of books I brought home from my last trip to Arizona leaving son at his university. I‘m now slowly entering them into my book database. Here are two of the nonfiction books I bought. I swear Arizona is a book lover‘s mecca.
pickAn apocalyptic novel about the Earth undergoing environmental collapse and how humans react to it. This was published in 1998 but some aspects seem scarily relevant, like the dangers of the anti-science movement.

I found 4 cool books at the shop yesterday. The 1st was a biography of Rasputin. The 2nd was called How the Irish Saved Civilization: it was about how European art was preserved in Ireland during the Dark Ages. The 3rd was historical fiction called The Rebels of Ireland, but it was #2 in its series. The 4th was the one I ended up buying. It‘s an account of the Challenger disaster by Adam Higginbotham. His book on Chernobyl is great.
pickIncredibly tragic but interesting to hear about people‘s experiences in the aftermath of the disaster.
I listened to part of this on audiobook and it seems the “narrator” was AI generated (by the Voice Clan?) which came across with weird pauses and no inflection in its tone. I don‘t recommended this version as it detracted from reading/words.
This is more than just about the Challenger but rather a comprehensive look at NASA 🚀🧑🚀👩🚀
pickA sad book on a sad day. I‘m glad I read it though. Like any other big, sad, emotional event I didn‘t really have my facts straight. Rivlin is a good writer and I‘ll read more of his books in the future.
Saw this article and I couldn‘t help but think about the #CampLitsy pick Tilt. Here‘s the link to the article for anyone who‘s interested.

Taking my hygge hour early tonight so that I can go to bed early. Eating cereal for dinner (Which I love- that‘s not a complaint.) and doing my best to make a dent in the tagged for my work book club. #HyggeHour
Leave those dishes, I should have said. Come play with me in the forest, I should have said. The world will end tomorrow.
If it‘s bad news, I don‘t want to know. I want to pause here, in this moment, the moment before I know.
People will tell you that everything is clear in hindsight, but really it‘s just rewritten.
