A nibble, a nip,
I love it when you bite my
lip, savoring me. 💋
My sister is in Barcelona on vacation this week and she took this gorgeous pic yesterday. They have tons of interesting artwork and graffiti according to her.

pickThe concept of a Jurassic Theme Park with live dinosaurs has always mesmerized me. Where can I buy a ticket?! 🫣 So I finally read the book where it all started. I was surprised to find a frightfully sinister Hammond and an even more annoying Malcolm and Lex. But overall terrifying factor—off the charts. Must read more Michael Crichton. What a creative genius he was! Is the original movie better than the book? I‘d say they go best hand in hand.
pickClearly for whatever reason I'm in the mood to read a lot this weekend! Finally finished this up; it's very dense, despite looking quite a slim book. Not a lot that was new to me, as someone who reads popular science about dinosaurs whenever I see something new, and follows dinosaur news idly, but some interesting titbits.
Today I learned that birds and reptiles can isolate infections in a single part of the body instead of the spread that often happens in mammals. I want to go read about how that works now, but I guess my theory would be a different lymphatic system? Though no clue how they would avoid spread through the blood stream... If someone finds out before I do, let me know!
(Note that I studied immunology as part of my degree, am interested in *detail*.)
so-soOdd experience for me as an adult reader. I love picture books, when you can spend a brief moment in a little story, when consuming the text arguably takes less time than admiring the illustrations.
I enjoy a lot of graphic novels, where the image vs text consumption time is about equal.
But there's something about early reader level chapter books with a smattering of illustrations - it's like the ratio is off. 1/?
Enjoying this so far. In odd synchronicity, it made me more curious about the papers behind this article (which I need to look into) which suggests we're finding evidence there has never been a mass extinction: https://www.newscientist.com/article/2481371-theres-growing-evidence-the-big-fiv...
This book, of course, is pretty certain that there was!
February #BookSpin / #BookSpinBingo / #ReadYourKindle ♥️ Two Can Play was my “Someplace Cold” #FictionalTraveler pick and my “book where the setting is cold/icy” for #TBRTarot. I ended up DNFing ACOTAR for #LittensLoveRomance 🫣 But I might try it again at some point. Maybe romantasy just isn‘t my thing. #LitsyAtoZ More on Hell Followed With Us in the next post. It was also my favorite for February.
pickI‘ve loved the movies since I was a kid, but recently saw a review depicting the book as much more horrific and I immediately downloaded it. It was definitely more graphic and gorier. I was surprised by some of the different characters in the novel and the difference in who made it to the end. I kept reading it before bed and then feeling uneasy the rest of the night lol.
Do you think it‘s worth trying The Lost World next?
