I usually read a lot over Christmas, but not this year for some reason (mainly that I got stuck with an ARC I’m really enjoying, except when the author jumps out of what she’s writing about and jumps into updates on her babies…I mean, what???). Turns a 5star into a 2.5… #booksky #themeteorites

Really enjoyed reviewing #TheMeteorites by @helenlpgordon.bsky.social . So what if all the tech bros use one as a million dollar paperweight? You can find your own micrometeorite on the roof of your local Tesco with a magnet and a sandwich bag... www.spectator.co.uk/article/a-pi...
