Rachel | 280 comments The title is the first thing that piqued my interest about this books, because I am fascinated by the desert. And then the cover with the Joshua Tree and the starry swirl really pulled me in. I like to mix in classic books and newer works and this was printed in 2020 so this month let's dive into a more recent book!

Here's a blurb about it from Google Books: "Layering climate science, mythologies, nature writing, and personal experiences, this New York Times Notable Book presents a stunning reckoning with our current moment and with the literal and figurative end of time."

Who's reading this month!? :D

Rachel | 280 comments I gave this book 80 pages to keep me interested and I eventually gave up. He has some good points but they are buried in rambling disjointed paragraphs and complaints. Sorry y'all, this one was a dud in my opinion! Did anyone else give it a whirl?
