Book Club - August

 


It's not what I'm currently reading, but it's the topic that reminded me we haven't had a Book Club this month!

Ian Fleming died on this day, 1964.

Dr. No was written in 1958, and his first Bond book, Casino Royale, was written in 1953.

The final book released, after his death, was The Man with the Golden Gun.  His publisher then released a collection of short stories that would make up later Bond movies, Octopussy and the Living Daylights.

I've only read the one in photo, and it was enjoyable.

As for what I'm actually reading, I started a book recommended by my aunt and my sister, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue.

I'm in the early stages, but it's setting an interesting stage.

What are you reading??

  Pterosaurs have incredibly lightweight skeletons, so finding one intact is pretty rare. In the Solnhofen Limestones in Germany, paleontologists came across a perfectly preserved hatchling.  And it is tiny, with a wingspan of less than 20 centimeters. "The odds of preserving one are already slim, and finding a fossil that tells you how the animal died is even rarer," reports lead author, Rab Smyth, from the University of Leicester Centre for Paleobiology. The fractures suggest a powerful twisting force, such as a severe storm, that caused catastrophic injuries. It should be noted that several young pterosaur fossils have been found in this area, and now scientists understand why - adults would likely have survived the storm. Here they explain the conditions:
