2hrs Gotta love how even growing up in the Northeast we never heard about Lincoln's intent on colonization.

Linnaeus is enough of an asshole that I'm feeling vaguely guilty using binomial nomenclature to label my limited personal specimens. Sorry de Buffon. But at least he has nothing to do with minerals, which are the vast majority of my collection...

Oh yay, now the female main character is the punching bag for the male's mistakes...

I don't know if this would drag as much for kids, or if it's just a little too goofy for an adult reader.

Oh yes, a section on Australian First Nations artists!

UHM, she mentions colonialism but only has one example then goes to Georgia O'Keefe? (who I do really like, don't get me wrong, but placement...)

Listening to the audiobook, 2 hours in. So many folks raved about it, I keep waiting for a plot. Is it ever about more than hockey and fucking?

This whole dividing by character thing is intriguing in concept but stretching things a great deal at times.

He's right. Rabbits fucking absolutely swear. I can see the words my rabbits call me in their eyes. And they thump a very eloquent fuck off.

Okay, this is a little insulting to folks who work in a library. We haven't been like that in decades at least...

DON'T SPLIT UP

I really appreciate the periodic nods to humphry davy

I need that cafe to exist immediately.

Cornish pasties sound amazing right now. I can't even think of the last time I had one...

I could do with fewer adverts for modern retellings. Like in the intro, cool, let's make sure folks know retellings from a female point of view by female authors is a thing. But in every damn chapter, it feels like a pop up ad.

"silence fell like a souffle" well certainly like one of mine...

*pterodactyl screeching* Am I going to drop my insane curretly and tbr piles for this? Absolutely.

A devil observing an angel "stepped directly out of the soppier sort of baroque painting" :D

Ugh, really?

Matzo balls as pizza toppings?!!

I'm deeply skeptical of deciding to be more fun by gambling...

Hoping this will be trashy fun!

I don't think I have the physics understanding for this...

More library stereotypes...

ugh, librarian stereotypes, really?!

Right off the bat this isn't going to work for teens at our library. I suspect they'll see all the cursive and get scared away. Same with plenty of new adults too...

Oh I already like Seffy so much.

Thus far finding it dull, rather than funny.

First time mentioning female birders and he's rude and sexist about it. Again, why it's not for women. The birds are not the problem.

It's guys like this that kept from joining audubon for years
