Books, May 2020

On June 17, 2020June 17, 2020 By Kaitlyn CasimoIn Books

As you very well know, 2020 sucks. For so many black Americans, things have always sucked, and many white Americans have historically been really good at denying or ignoring that, not to mention causing it. I struggled over whether I even wanted to write this month, since we should all be reading black writers right …

Books, April 2020

On May 15, 2020May 25, 2020 By Kaitlyn CasimoIn Books

Seattle Public Library book bingo is here! I already picked books off my shelf (and ebook... shelf?) for 18 of the 24 squares. Dilemma: support local bookstores or finally make a dent in the book pile at home? Solution: BOTH. READ EXTRA BOOKS. Book of the month: The Library Book, Susan Orlean The central branch …

I have to be honest that I really struggled to find writing inspiration to be here this month. I would say that this is a great time to hunker down and read, but really, it's just a great time to hunker down and do whatever entertains you from the safety of your couch. If it …

Science outreach at home

About 1/3 of the world's population, including me, are under various levels of stay at home orders. This is a difficult time for everyone, and I know there's a special challenge for teachers and parents looking for some level of continuity in their children's educations. A couple of things from me that are available right …

Spring forward. Land on a pile of books. Read them all. Book of the month: Beloved, Toni Morrison * One of the great benefits of book club is that it pushes me to read books I wouldn't have chosen for myself (or, in this case, pushes a book to the top of my absurdly long …

Science on Tap: February 24

On February 18, 2020 By Kaitlyn CasimoIn Kaitlyn does stuff

I'll be at the comedy edition of Ravenna Third Place Book's Science on Tap next Monday, February 24! The theme is "the humorous side of research" - you might be able to guess what my take on that will entail. Doors open at 5:30 and seats are expected to fill. No advance ticket sales or …

It has rained. 29 days. In January. (No, I do not want to curl up all cozy with a book. I want to sit outside with a book.) Book of the month: Bad Blood, John Carreyrou If this was a movie, I'd say the plot was too outlandish and the writers should go back and …

Finally, the solstice has passed and the days of reading outside are no longer getting further away! Book of the month: The Ghurka and the Lord of Tuesday, Saad Z. Hossain * The Lord of Tuesday is a djinn who has just awoken from a thousand year cursed sleep to find most other djinn have …
