I never realized how bad light pollution was until I went to the Colorado Mountains and looked at the night sky. I was overwhelmed by the number of stars you can see without the lowland light pollution. The bright sky was covered with large and small stars and the quantity of stars was amazing. The memory still blows me away and that was decades ago.
@@jobuckley2999 I should have been more aware since when I was little I grew up in Fort Davis and there were rules about night lights. The observatory isn’t too far from the Davis Mountains. 😊
Oh no, I had never thought of how light pollution affects turtles! It's good to hear some changes are being made. I felt the same way about Dune - I really enjoyed it overall, but it felt like there was something missing in the second half (well, apart from Duke Leto!)
@@aaronfacer I also would’ve liked to have had Paul young longer. It’s like reading about Jesus, half his life is skipped over and I want to know, lol.
The Darkness Manifesto sounds good. I was thinking about light pollution recently because I grew up in a country that had very little light pollution in the 80s. I remember incredible night skies. I also remember we were burgled 3 times over the years, so the comment on safety resonates 😢😅
Reading sounds good. The cleaning noise wasn’t audible to me, but I have a fan on making noise too. Oh that was a near butt shot - I’m afraid of those too. Especially if my orange guy gets in the wrong position, I’ll have to blur it out.
I'd like to hear Joshua's review of Dune. Dune is the only book I've read in that series; I wasn't inspired to continue. I'm not normally a sci-fi reader anyhow.
@@amyc1752 I love Jodi Picoult! I haven’t read anything by her in a couple of years. Thanks for the reminder. Lone Wolf was very good. My Sister’s Keeper and House Rules are my favorite by her 😊
@@sterlingreads547 Thanks for sharing! I'll look into those, too. I'm really enjoying Lone Wolf so far. I've learned so much about wolves. I wish people would educate themselves more about them.

Meow to Sterling.
I remember a weekend at a B&B far away from the city. The hills nearby were completely dark. Wonderful
@@anotherbibliophilereads Thanks Greg 🐈⬛❤️🦇
Hey Summer! Thanks for mentioning my video. Your cats are lovely (and nice job avoiding the butt shot!) 😂
@@joshuacreboreads Thank you! I enjoyed your video. 🐈⬛😆

Can't wait to hear what you think of Other Birds! ❤ And now I want to read the light pollution book!
@@TheBookclectic Hopefully I’ll get to it soon. I just want to finish this Katherine Center book first 😊
Salutations Summer, just took out Darkness Manifesto from my local library, on my July TBR. Go well.
@@nathanfoung2347 Thank you Nathan. I hope you enjoy it 😊

@@PageTurnersWithKatja Safety is definitely important. Trying to find a balance 😊
The book on light pollution sounds interesting! 😊
It really is 😊
Hi Summer! It's good to hear that you enjoyed your reread of Dune. I've never read it, but I have a copy that's patiently waiting for me to get to it.
@@HeyYallListenUp John 🤗 that really surprises me that you haven’t read it 😆
Greetings and salutations, Summer and the cats. I read Dune as a teenager, too but have no plans on rereading it.
Salutations Jim 😆 it’s not for everyone
@@sterlingreads547 I loved it as a teenager, I went on to read Dune Messiah and Children of Dune, but now it doesn't appeal, my tastes have changed.

😆 my Roger is so snorkely. I’m used to it but it could sound weird to others. Yes, those butt shots 🤣

@@Eldertalk I feel like he did a good job 😊
It was good.
@@davidnovakreadspoetry After all the hype, I expected more than I got out of Dune.
Hi, Summer! Can't wait to hear your thoughts on Other Birds. I just started Lone Wolf by Jodi Picoult. Have a great week!

I can't believe I still haven't read Dune, especially as I love the David Lynch film version of it so much.
@@zombieprincess82 I still haven’t watched any adaptation 🤦🏻♀️
Don’t be intimidated by DQ. The Grossman translation is great. My only criticism of DQ is that part 2 felt very repetitive and, therefore, long.
