A bit more ugly "real life" sexual violence than I usually like in my supernatural fiction but it's undeniably a page-turner. #horror #hauntedhouse

I LOVED this biography. It's inspiring and eccentric, just like its subject. I only wish it spent a little more time on his cats, but here's my Margo to make up for that. #biography #arthistory

Wow, this book! Despite the subject matter, an easy read. And such an important one! Truly puts context to the massive multi-layered crisis we're facing. #naturalhistory #extinction

Finished this at work and it was so aggressively not my cup of tea that I feel bad reviewing it. Suffice to say it was a comforting, chaste romance and I'm seriously not into those at all. #fantasy

Still thinking enough about this book to doodle one. Quite an interesting exploration of almost all aspects of our current understanding of these beasts. #paleontology #dinosaur #sauropod #science

I suspect this book isn't my cup of tea, but it's nice to be listening to it while spending time at home with my cats at least.

I LOVED this. Not at all what I was expecting. Melancholy, tragic, hopefull, and intimate. I wish I could find more scifi like this. #scifi

suzisteffen Omg this book had my heart pounding SO MUCH by the end. I‘ve read two sequels/parallel time books, and I think a third is coming soon! 5y
CorinnaBechko @suzisteffen there's more?? I picked this at random but now I must seek these out! 5y
suzisteffen @CorinnaBechko Yes! Let me see if I can tag them ... 5y

As much a memoir as an exploration of Ice Age America, this book somehow manages to put thousands of years of mysterious history into perspective. I'll never think about land bridges or megafauna the same way again. #prehistory #paleontology #earlyhumans

GingerAntics Seems legit to me. 5y
CorinnaBechko @GingerAntics I think so too. Nice counterpoint! 5y
GingerAntics Right? If you‘re going to be confined to the Earth‘s atmosphere, you should definitely be reading of further, more adventurous travels. 5y
CorinnaBechko @GingerAntics I love that idea! 5y
GingerAntics How was the flight? I‘m guessing you‘ve landed by now. 5y
CorinnaBechko @GingerAntics not bad, thanks! A d even better with a good book! 😁 5y
GingerAntics Always!!! I once attempted to read Grapes of Wrath on a plane for my summer reading assignment. I was not impressed, so now I tend to sleep on planes now...unless we go sun country, because they pass out warm chocolate chip cookies!!! 5y
CorinnaBechko @GingerAntics Haha! I wish I had gotten cookies on my flight. 5y
GingerAntics Warm chocolate chip cookies make everything better. Right? 5y
GingerAntics We took a flight once that was at the end of the day. Sun country rarely flies red eye flights, or didn‘t at the time, so they had a bunch of cookies left over, so before we even got on the plane they were passing out cookies to get rid of them. SO many cookies on that flight. All of them warm and delicious!!! 💙💙💙 5y
CorinnaBechko @GingerAntics why can't this ever be one of my flights?? 5y
GingerAntics I haven‘t seen a lot of sun country lately. Maybe they don‘t even do that anymore. That was almost 20 years ago now. Sheesh, I do not like that I started high school 20 years ago. 5y
CorinnaBechko @GingerAntics Haha! Still, that beats actually being IN high school! 5y
GingerAntics Fair point. Very valid point!!! lol 5y

Enjoyed this rural multi-generational haunted house tale as well as the way the narration flowed. I'm relying on #horror fiction to give me a lift more and more as the news in the real world gets worse.

I loved this! It's not often you read fiction by a famous scientist which actually plays with human concerns. It's certainly not a perfect piece of writing, but the context provided in the foreword and afterword elevate the entire book to greatness. #timetravel #dinosaur #paleontology #scifi

Interesting subject matter and an engaging narrator for the audiobook, but a bit "lady other prize" for me. Still, I appreciate the author's intent even if the protagonist never did go to a world where dinosaurs never went extinct. #scifi

Wow. This is a sobering read of the type that changes you for the better after the last page is absorbed. Epic in scope, it provides context both culturally and from a natural history perspective about a huge area that shaped the United States yet seldom gets talked. It was a shock to read numerous instances where my hometown was a player, for better and for worse, in historical events. In short, I cried but I loved it. #naturalhistory

Definitely epic and intense if a little expansive. Overall I enjoyed it a lot (as well as the narrator, since this was an audiobook) so I wish there were more graduations to our review symbols! #fantasy

Like any anthology, there were good stories, so-so stories, and great stories. It did suffer from s bit of repetition of ideas in that several authors explored the same legend, but at least it gave me a bit of Halloween in March. #horror #anthology #halloween

TheKidUpstairs I just finished it, and really enjoyed. I haven't listened to the podcast yet, so I'd be interested to hear if it's as good to someone who listened first! 5y
