I’ll have to negotiate the reading order with my wife, but I think we’re covered for a few weeks…

I suspect she’ll want to start with The Last Song of Penelope, since we’ve both read the first two.

Moving Pictures will, in fact, be my first Discworld, so I suspect I’ll start there…

4 shiny, new books: The Last Song of Penelope by Claire North, Semiosis by Sue Burke, Universality by Natasha Brown and Moving Pictures by Terry Pratchett.

A top-down photo of three books lying down on a small, brown, wooden table. On the left, How Birds Evolved, showing a collage of five colourful birds fringing the book's cream-white cover. In the middle, Nature's Temples: Nature's Temples, showing yellow drawings of a bird, a mushroom, a a beetle, and some leaves fringing the black cover. On the right, Big Meg, showing a blue-tinted image of a shark's head on a black background with its mouth wide open, the title written in its gape.

looking forward to reading my friend Sarah Ellen Zarrow's new book when it's out, "Displays of Belonging
Polish Jewish Collecting and Museums, 1891–1941."

"Displays of Belonging illuminates the lives and work of Polish Jewish collectors and museologists, who sought to preserve the treasures of the Jewish past while demonstrating Jewish belonging on Polish soil."

This week's #NewBooks at the library: A second-hand copy of Microlands from Robinson Publishing. A brand-new copy of #Dartmoor Tors Compendium from Tavicinity (having been given the book on geology, I couldn't go without this gorgeous book. Expect reviews). And, a hand-me down from a library in Liverpool, the old but still valuable Ancient Marine Reptiles from Academic Press #Books #Scicomm #Bookstodon #Microbiology #MarineBiology #Geology #Paleontology #Palaeontology

A photo of three books standing on a small, brown, wooden table. On the left, standing up, Microlands, showing various diatoms floating in a blue water column. In the middle, lying down, Dartmoor Tors Compendium, showing a black-and-white photo of a granite tor. On the right, standing up, Ancient Marine Reptiles, showing a painting of a mosasaur rearing up out of the waves. The out-of-focus background shows black shelves full of books and part of the beech-coloured laminate floor.
