Books read in July
Aug. 1st, 2017 01:46 pmAlfie the Doorstep Cat by Rachel Wells (July 2-4)
Murder Off the Beaten Path by M.L. Rowland (July 5-9)
Surviving Antarctica: Reality TV 2083 by Andrea White (July 9-12. You know you've read The Worst Journey in the World too many times when you see it quoted in this book and immediately see that it's misquoted LOL)
Elisha Kent Kane and the Seafaring Frontier (July 12-16)
Arctic Explorations by Elisha Kent Kane (July 16-23)
The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley (July 23-29)
I read The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie because his books seem to be popular with customers at work, and when I read the back it said it was told in the voice of an eleven year old aspiring chemist who happens to solve murders too..that intrigued me a lot, so I had to read it. It was definitely a great book (I can't wait to read the rest of the series!), but I didn't expect references to things I'm interested in..like I about fell over on this one: "Even in summer the trek across the room to the distant washstand near the window was an experience that might have daunted Scott of the Antarctic." OMG how can I not love it when it mentions Robert F. Scott?? Also this one: "...Napoleon had once called the English 'a nation of shopkeepers.'" Cherry got that from Napoleon??! Wow. It also mentioned "a glacier of newspapers" on a table..yeahh, I loved this book :P
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that when we were by the cruise ship at Margerie Glacier, we picked up their cell service! Everyone was amused by their phones going off in the middle of nowhere haha. I got a couple texts from them, which I'm keeping because it's amusing lol
How is it August already?? *hides from winter*
( August 1: Weeds )
Today's trivia: When Helium is cooled to almost absolute zero (-460°F or -273°C), the lowest temperature possible, it becomes a liquid with surprising properties: it flows against gravity and will start running up and over the lip of a glass container
