Welcome to Litsy!

Slow, like building nests and collecting eiderdown. Portrait of unique nesting grounds on remote Norwegian islands & a determined older woman charged with caring for the ducks. Takes patience, both the reading and the waiting for the birds. 2024

110 “We do not think of watching the world around us as work.”

258 “The island and the wild things are never fully known… We are all just children. We never know enough, not even the half of it.”

This should be squarely in my wheelhouse and I expected to love it. But, not so much. Some of the writing felt forced & contrived. It‘s also not particularly memorable. I finished listening a couple of weeks ago and recall little about it. Of course I‘m willing to admit that might be my fault because a lot competes for my attention this time of year.

I‘m using up small amounts of yarn to make a cardigan. The design is End Times by Amy Gunderson.

The age of humans will pass.

Started this one as an library audio loan, but finished as a library book loan. Fascinating learning about the duck women of Vega.

This #ARC is stunning. James Rebank on an isolated Norwegian island collecting eider down with one of the last women to do it traditionally. Perfect.
