Finishes up with a nice list of further recommendations!

Snickering so hard already..."Despite sucking at everything he tried, Columbus received his own holiday, celebrated somewhere around October 12, the anniversary of the day he "discovered" the Americas. That sounds impressive, for sure, but if you look into it at all, Columbus bumbled his way through life like a genocidal Mr.Bean." [p. 16]

I feel like one of my co-workers could be the main character!

Not gonna read a single end note!

Saw this when I was grabbing that other volcano book and thought I'd give it a whirl.

I think I laughed out loud there...

Reeled in by the title! And a friend who gave it a decent rating. Lol, what will I end up telling them when I'm done?

Oooops! I popped it open to the epilogue while waiting for my morning coffee and now I'm struggling to even bother fitting this is between my weekend activities.

My (university) library finally delivered a copy. LOL, guess I'll go ahead and cancel that hold from Sac Public where I'm still 70th in line.

Putting this down and slowly backing away because I, unlike the characters trapped inside, can actually escape this never-ending story.

It's on Kindle Unlimited now so I thought I might as well join the hordes who are reading this series. It's been a massive info dump up to this point so I can see why people say it gets better later. (So far it reminds me of reading the player's guide for a TTRPG and that is instant napping material for me. I'm gonna persevere, nonetheless.)

Hilariously, I see I'm 74th in line at Sac Public today. My spot in line is only getting longer - hahahahahahahaha!!!!

Nice to end on some non-actor women.

73rd in line today at Sac Public!!! Hahahaha!

Suppose it's good news one of my fellow CSU libraries has finally shipped a copy with an expected pickup date of Sept 16. Ugh, thanks.

I'm fascinated by the Voyager chapters. My bad that I don't adore Janeway but I loved Seven of Nine?

Whoa! That got a bit more real than I was expecting in Nana's own chapter.

I'm already 89th in line! Lol, can't wait to get this "before" book club 😂

I do think Nana's strength lies in acting, nonetheless I'm enjoying this take on women in Star Trek.

September's book club selection. I laugh so hard that I've added it to my "currently reading" shelf. I'm 92nd in line (for the format with the shortest line at the public library) and even Sac State resource sharing hasn't been able to serve this up.

This is probably a bit dated by now, but I was looking for some science reading on Libby and this is what I found.

Now I feel like I should do a rewatch!

The Hoopla version is probably the worst way to partake of this book. Hahahaha!

Not only am I being inspired to visit new parks, I'm also wanting to revisit ones I've already been to! LOL

Re-reading to help inspire myself for where to go next. LOL, the Alaska parks hit very very differently this time!

Fun to go out with the research trying to answer the question if there's a universal beautiful language.

Ooooo! Sacramento, in terms of locals pronouncing it "Sacramenno" appears! Really close to the quote, " But let's see whether there is a method to the madness before we determine whether or not these speakers deserve to go to the linguistic gallows for their slovenly ways." [p. 145] hahahahaha!

I've had this checked out for a month. Perhaps now is a good time to actually start reading it.

The author was on one of those language YouTube shows I watch... I was all in once I saw humor in the description.
