June is the month of the great British Oak Tree 🌳 on average, a large Oak is home to over 2300 living species! 🤩

I’m giving it another chapter, but Requiem for a Dream it ain’t! 🥴 The stakes are looking high for the DNF pile, Debbie and Janie 🫣

Reading this with the support of Debbie Y and Janie and I think I’m gonna need it! This sounds pretty horrendous! 😏

This is completely batshit 😂

I love Percival Everett, but what the hell is this?! 😂 Whatever it is, I’m having fun reading, so that’s all that counts I suppose! 🤷🏻‍♀️

One chapter in and I hate this book! 😂 The narrator’s breathless prose of run-on sentences is virtually impossible for me to comprehend. I’m going to give it one more chapter and then I’ll decide whether to DNF 🥴
The best bit so far was on pg11 describing a stew - ‘steaming like fresh horse dung on a cold morning’. How revolting! 🤢

G’morning friends 🤗 it’s Saturday and it’s CHOOSE A NEW BOOK DAY!!! 🥳 Does anyone else get ridiculously excited about the prospect of what to read next? It’s not even 6am and I took my first sip of coffee as was like ‘weeeee what shall I start reading today?’ 😂 I ♥️ the simple things in life 😌 well, it’s kind of simple because my options are….expansive 😯

This might’ve been a poor choice on my part. I knew roughly what it was about before going in, but now I’m here, my anxiety for the animals is kicking my ass! 🥴

😮‍💨 it’s a tad hard going now but I’m getting there!

This is putting my brain through the wringer! 🤪 (in the best way possible)

Well this is addictive.

This is getting all Brian Cox level of info, and he baffles me at the best of times! I’ll keep at it though, I’m picking up small nuggets of understanding, there’s less nutters and more science, got to be a good thing.

PART TWO - The Professor, the Conspiracist and the Bureaucrat.

Next chapter - Starseeds - people who believe they are aliens from another planet.

Righty-ho, then! 😆

Meanwhile, somewhere in Phoenix..

‘..when the woman parked her car, she saw a four-foot-high rabbit with giant ears.

Okayyy then. This is very entertaining, I will say, but my pinches of salt are going to become handfuls at this rate! 😂🐰

Hieroglyphs, time travel, black holes, the universal language of mathematics, telepathic downloads of binary codes….my brain hurts, I think I need a drink, I might understand at least some of it then! 🥃 👽 🛸

Tom DeLonge from Blink-182 definitely wasn’t on my UFO bingo card! But then, it does explain their song ‘Aliens Exist’. Travis Barker, their drummer, said he used to get high and look for UFO’s 😂 I can’t take any of this seriously, at this stage, but it’s early days.. 🤣

Sooo tempted to finish this evening, but also want to save it for the morning because it is SENSATIONAL and it’ll be a tough goodbye! 😩
