CBR15 Bingo: Getaway

Love, Theoretically by Ali Hazelwood

August 8, 2023 by Malin Leave a Comment

4.5 stars CBR15 Bingo: Getaway (I don’t see a good way to fill the South America square) For this review, I resurrected Mrs. Julien’s romance review template from way back in 2013. I’ve tweaked it, but the major framework is still there. Love, Theoretically is a romance of the enemies to lovers AND I’m scared and unworthy of love: Hero meets heroine. He is the disapproving older brother of the man who is paying her to be his fake girlfriend. He thinks she’s a librarian, […]

This book inspired me to write some of my own poetry again

Great Gusts: Winds of the World and the Science Behind Them by Melanie Crowder and Megan Benedict

July 26, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Great Gusts: Winds of the World and the Science Behind Them is one of the most beautiful books I have read so far in 2023. The fact it does not come out until mid-March 2024 is the frustrating part as I want everyone to go out and purchase copies at their local independent bookstore now! The poetry is amazing as it covers the science of wind and is emotional. Both Melanie Crowder and Megan Benedict’s work is factual, but allows for the movement of a poem. The […]

“There are three stages in scientific discovery. First, people deny that it is true, then they deny that it is important; finally they credit the wrong person.”

A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson

December 31, 2022 by narfna 4 Comments

When I was looking at the 2022 Read Harder Challenge for the first time and saw #9: “Read the book that’s been on your TBR the longest”, I knew without looking what that book would be, even though I haven’t looked at the beginning of my list in years. And that’s because I’ve been avoiding this book for as long as I’ve wanted to read it. Just one word for you: supervolcano. In Bryson’s signature breezy, humorous, yet intelligent style, he will explain to you […]

A series of existential crises packed into one easy-to-read tome! #CBRBINGO – Star

A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking

August 18, 2022 by narfna 2 Comments

Even though Stephen Hawking did an impeccable and brilliant job dumbing down all this physics and quantum mechanics and SCIENCE, I am still not science-smart enough to fully understand most of it. Good try, though, and it was so readable! And it gave me several existential crises. Like, okay, if you are just jonesing for a panic attack, pick up this book and when he starts in on the origin of the universe, just let your mind go there, see if you can encompass the […]

True life is often much more interesting than fiction

The Bastard Brigade: The True Story of the Renegade Scientists and Spies Who Sabotaged the Nazi Atomic Bomb by Sam Kean

February 21, 2022 by KimMiE" Leave a Comment

In the author’s note to The Bastard Brigade, Sam Kean responds to the question, why has he never written a book about physics before? His previous books (which are all fabulous and highly recommended by me) focus on genetics, chemistry, neuroscience, and the atmosphere, even though the author studied physics in college. He explains, “What I really love doing is telling stories, and when I’m planning a book, I look for rip-roarin’ stories first and foremost. I want heroes and villains, conflict and drama, plot twists […]

Genius? A$$? Or Both?

Hawking by Jim Ottaviani

February 21, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Stephen Hawking was a complicated man. Selfish, self-centered, intelligent, willing to work with others, wanted self-credit, chose romantic partners that seemed distant, and believed his own press as he made up most of it. You never know what will happen next in the pages of this graphic novel by Jim Ottaviani. Aptly named, Hawking¸ Ottaviani starts the story (told from the point of view of Hawking himself) from about age elven to around the eve of his death. Ottaviani makes it so you think you’ve […]
