    Thoughts from 2% - School Size

    okay so this is a minor thing but is it weird to anyone else that a high school with only 358 students has multiple buildings (at least 6??).

    i had a slightly bigger high school (at most 400 students), and my school literally was one entire building that included every single grade (from K-12). there was a wing that consisted of maybe 4-5 halls dedicated for the high school. but Forks has this huge campus apparently?

    Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

    As important as the overall message of this book is, I felt like it was padded with a lot of repetitive elements that didn't translate very well. Still, a cute albeit too short book on an important topic. Could've been a blogpost.

    Thoughts from 3% (page 3- Ethnobotanists)

    "Ethnobotanists know that the more names a plant has, the greater its cultural importance."

    For anyone like me who was super interested by what exactly an Ethnobotanist is, Ethnobotany is an interdisciplinary field of study that blends natural and social sciences together to look at our relationships to plants. Specifically examining a cultural group and their relationships to the native plants around them. Something I am truly fascinated by and want to learn more about. And based on what I know about Robin Wall Kimmerer, I am assuming this book (as well as her other ones) is at the very least influenced by this academic field of study. So I am excited to dive into it more.
