Celebrate Everyday With Books - FEB 18TH 2020

Celebrate Every Day With Books 

It seems like everyday has some new theme to celebrate so I thought it might be fun to see what kind of interesting books I can find (new, old, or coming soon) for an everyday holiday. In fact, most days have more than one holiday!

TODAY 

IS 

FEBRUARY 18TH 2020

PLUTO DAY 

“Pluto Day celebrates the discovery of Pluto in 1930 when it was designated as a planet, and that’s how it should have stayed! The best way to celebrate Pluto Day is to learn as much about this planet (yes we said PLANET) as you can. It’s got an interesting history and a composition of some familiar substances. Oh yes, for those who’d like to know? Pluto was named by Venetia Burney, an 11-year-old who had a fascination with classical mythology.” (from daysoftheyear.com)

Just so you know I have not read most of these but the ones I pick seem the most interesting. You can probably find tons more books for each holiday but I am only going to pick two books for one holiday a day.

Let me know what you think. Do any of them seem interesting to you? Is there another book you think would be a better choice?

Title: Pluto editor by Richard Grossinger
Genre: Astrology, Mind & Body & Spirit
What It Is About?: “ This anthology timed to appear in concordance with NASA’s New Horizons's approach to Pluto in July 2015, shows that while the astronomical Pluto may be little more than an ordinary escaped moon or tiny Kuiper Belt object, it is a powerful hyperobject, for its mythological and cultural effigies on Earth incubate deep unconscious seeds of the human psyche.” (from Goodreads.com)
