The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History | Elizabeth Kolbert

pick

This is a fascinating and horrifying look at the history of extinctions and what humans have wrought upon the earth. I listened to this on audio and I‘m not sure I loved the narrator. Even so, Kolbert‘s ability to write about the horrible things that are happening to our planet was engaging. #readingwomenchallenge #abookaboutnature #nonfiction2019 #somethingwithscience #LLB19 #fromyourownLitsyTBR

Reggie This is gonna be a dumb question but is it super depressing? Or more fascinating? I always see this one but am always in the fence with it. 5y

Bookzombie @Reggie That is not a dumb question at all. When I started it, my husband was like “why do that to yourself?” It was a mix of both for me. The author includes some levity throughout via her personal experiences, but some of the info is just sad. Also, I don‘t recommend the audio. I think the narrator wasn‘t the right choice and I wish I had switched to print. 5y

Lake Silence | Anne Bishop

pick

I loved this first of Anne Bishop‘s Others spinoffs. In it, we get to see how the events in Lakeside have affected other parts of their world, and how the remaining humans and terra indigene will move forward from here. There‘s crowgard charm, elder terror, and everything in between that we‘ve come to expect from The Others. New town, new people, and the game has definitely changed. #ReadingWomenChallenge @thereadingwomen #19 #ABookAboutNature
