It’s been a slow couple of weeks on the blog because I’ve been busy with a few projects, plus work and life in general sometimes interferes. I’m still reading, or rather listening, but haven’t had much time for writing or commenting. Even Weekend Birding has taken a break, and that rarely happens.
A couple of new additions this week, both non-fiction.
Dataclysm: Who We Are by Christian Rudder from Crown.
In the Kingdom of Ice: The Grand and Terrible Polar Voyage of the USS Jeannette by Hampton Sides from Random House Audio.
A white-knuckle tale of polar exploration and survival in the Gilded Age.
Both books look very intriguing in different ways.
Both very interesting, but what pretty flowers!
I’ll bet the Rudder book is very interesting (and would probably make me a little anxious, ha).
I’ve only read one Sides book – The Ghost Soldiers – but I really liked it. I’ve got to get going on another one.
This will be my first book by the author, but I’ve seen so many glowing reviews about his writing that I wanted to give this a go. And if I’m going to read about ice and snow, it needs to be well before winter arrives!
I am intrigued by Dataclysm…thanks for sharing…and I love the way you’ve arranged them with the flowers.
Thanks! My flowers are one of the many reasons I love summer.
I am curious about Dataclysm. Enjoy both of your new reads.
In The Kingdom of Ice looks very interesting.
Lovely photo of your new books! I’ve also been taking break from blogging this summer.
They both sound good and I hope you enjoy them!
For some reasons, I don;t think these would be for me. Hope you love them though.
