Welcome to Litsy!

I started this one before the total eclipse in April of this year. I lost interest after that and just picked it up. It was definitely interesting, especially the history of how eclipses were used to help map the size and shape of the world centuries ago. It's my own fault for losing interest after seeing the eclipse. Definitely recommend if you'd like to learn more about eclipses.

This book sounds adorable. #sundayfunday

“The free man is immoral, because it is his will to depend upon himself and not upon tradition: in all the primitive states of humanity 'evil' is equivalent to 'individual,' 'free,' 'arbitrary,' 'unaccustomed,' 'unforeseen,' 'incalculable.'“ ~Friedrich Nietzsche, 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑫𝒂𝒘𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝑫𝒂𝒚

The picture was originally for the lilies of the valley, but I predict that I‘ll look back at it in a year and realize that I still haven‘t read any of the books in that damn pile.

Written by a man who has dedicated a large portion of his life to chasing the next eclipse, the author takes you on a journey through the history of solar eclipses and the role they play in society. I loved the comments on the connections between these events and religion as well as the timeline of how science and society started observing and tracking these events

I live just down the street from downtown Lansing, Mi so I decided to go for a walk down to the capital building to clear my head. Felt really off all day but then got some great news at work that made up for it a bit. Started this nonfiction book today for one of my prompts for #magicalreadathon ! How‘s everyone doing with their OWLs?

“Faraday believed a true scientist should question everything, including oneself. ‘The man who is certain he is right is almost sure to be wrong, and he has the additional misfortune of inevitably remaining so,‘ he once said.”

Went to the half priced books clearance sale. With my book ban, I was able to read enough to buy 2 books. Ended up going over by 3 but I feel like I controlled myself 😂

Super delayed post! This was my read during the road trip with my dad to see the eclipse. A little bit eclipse story telling, a little bit science, and a perfect read for the occasion. I picked up another eclipse book pubbed this year, but my hype may have died down now...hopefully it won't linger on my TBR for seven years. *Yes those are welding goggles and yes they are safe for solar viewing.
