50k reached for NaNo... now I can devote time to reading again, rather than frantically writing to obnoxiously over done daily goals!!
*flops down in reading chair with a cup of tea*

This is really slowwww. I'm sad to be sort of bored with this one... it seems more like it should have been a short rather than a full on novel.

I am too happy with this cartoon... so happy, I actually lol'd and got some strange looks because of it.

It's difficult to imagine that only a couple hundred years ago, extinction was a concept that didn't exist!
I really loved this chapter, and I'm looking forward to the next (auks!). The style is easy to read--not too academic. It does seem to be a bit rushed though... but perhaps I'm just too interested in the subjects so far that I wouldn't have minded a longer, more academic study.

When you look for a book through WorldCat and find that the closest library holding a copy is in England. *sad puppy eyes*

(Still not as far as the time I searched and found the only copies were in New Zealand *very sad puppy eyes*)

:'(

I read this way back in grade school, but I'm rereading it as NaNo prep, since Dimwood Forest is closest to what I need for inspiration. Ereth is my spirit animal (literally?) and the illustrations are so fracking ablorbables as expected. I'm going to try and take notes, on plot and overall structure to maybe get some ideas, but I might just read it to get in the right mindset.

Really enjoying this so far! However there are a couple of peeves. Jack is colorblind, yet he notices the green of Oz. He also has no ears, yet he can hear. Also Tip and Jinjur's army aren't wearing glasses--what do they see? Shouldn't they be blinded? Anywho, I like Jinjur's army since they use knitting needles... I wonder what size?
