Our Ohio weather has been unseasonably warm these past few days! Soaking it up with an outside lunch break!
This book! I'm a sucker for nature writing, specifically titles about great apes. This one is written by a former Columbus Zoo (Ohio, so semi-local for me) keeper who spent most of her time in the Ape House caring for gorillas. She brings them to life in these pages and touches on conservation work as her current focus in life. 🦍

Anyone ever bite off more than they can chew? My stack of #librarybooks is a mile high and more keep coming. I read 3 quick chapters in this one that just arrived for me and I'm loving it! I want to read all the books and never do work!! #librarianproblems

Cathythoughts Enjoy 😁 everything looks good 4y
LiteraryinLawrence Yes, that happened recently to me. It got to the point where I just returned everything and started again. This last time I went to the library I set a limit before I went in. Because I have so many books on my shelves that I want to read, but I also want to read everything at the library! 4y
BookwormM Yes all my library holds have arrived at once arrgghh 4y
RidgewayGirl Yes, now that my local library has reopened for browsing, I have over-reacted and now have a very tall stack of library books. 4y

My #EasterExtravaganza wrap up!

My goal was to finish all my current reads and I made it! The books at the bottom were my audio and ebook reads.

Favorite was probably Where the Crawdads Sing or Smoke Gets in Your Eyes!

Andrew65 Well done 🍾🥂👏👏👏🙌⭐️ Thanks for playing along. 4y
