IN OCTOBER …
[SCIENCE]
Reading Books Again did not enjoy Starry Messenger: Cosmic Perspectives on Civilisation by Neil deGrasse Tyson. “The book was a disappointment. I expected a scientific book. What I got was unorganized ramblings regarding problems on earth. The writing itself was good but the content was lacking.”

[SOCIAL HISTORY]
“I would highly recommend Tongerlongeter as a book to get you thinking; a narrative which presents another view of Australian history.” says Denise Newton Writes of Tongerlongeter: First Nations Leader & Tasmanian War Hero by Henry Reynolds and Nicholas Clements.

[PUBLISHED IN 2022]
Stranger Than Fiction has a mixed response to Queens: Women in Power Through History by Phyllis G. Jestice, but she writes, “The highlight of the book is the glorious illustrations (180 of them), which include reproductions of paintings and tapestries as well as photos of sculptures and artifacts.”

[NATURE]
BookShelfDiscovery writes, “It’s not hard to be swept away by Dara’s love of nature through the strength of his writing, and you can really feel how nature affects his senses. ‘Diary of a Young Naturalist’ is powerful and inspiring book.”

[CELEBRITY]
If you are a fan of the show I recommend The Big Bang Theory: The Definitive, Inside Story of the Epic Hit Series by Jessica Radloff, “…both a fun and interesting read, not only as an insiders view of an iconic sitcom and its stars, but also for what it reveals about working in the television industry in general.” Check out my review here at Book’d Out
