The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs: A New History of a Lost World by Steve Brusatte (Author) - Lastly, an asteroid hits the earth and the rest is history. Birds and semi-aquatic reptiles survived, and so did small mammals. I really enjoyed this book, despite the fact it took me almost a month to get through it. I've had sort of the opposite problem, again, where I'm reading just a whole bunch.
Sailor Moon Eternal Edition 8 by Naoko Takeuchi (Author)- We left off with the scouts getting sucked into the dark moon circus. the outer senshi show up. saturn and chibi moon deal with the amazoness quartet, and they become reformed, and will eventually become chibi moon's sailor scouts. Nehellenia's back story isnt as robust in the manga, but shes also cooler, so I'll take it. She's defeated because of love, or whatever, and everything ends happily.
This be book bad translation, video games! by Clyde Mandelin (Author), Tony Kuchar (Contributor) - This was a super quick read on sort of the history of bad english in video games in the 80s and 90s. There's talk about why, but mostly there's also silly screenshots. There's even modern games, because a lot of cheap games get "translated" by google translate... and it doesnt go very well. lol
What are you currently reading?
We Are Everywhere: Protest, Power, and Pride in the History of Queer Liberation by Matthew Riemer (Author), Leighton Brown (Author) - I dont know a lot about queer history, minus what i've learned from watching "how to survive a plague" (which is good but devastating. be ready to cry). It is written by the folks who do the instagram account for @ lgbt_history which is also a great follow if you don't already. anyway, I assumed this book would be mostly pictures, but there is a lot of written work. My biggest complaint is that it is very big and heavy, almost like a text book, so its a little hard to read while laying down.
