They were content to figure in the trees
As Leo, Orion, and the Pleiades.
And that was what the boughs were full of soon.

Our Easter book shelves! 🐇🌸🌷
pickThis is a great story. A young man is hunting rare birds and I think he's stuffing them? Or studying them somehow? He offers a young girl $10, which would be a lot for her and her grandma, asking her for help tracking down a rare white heron. She knows where the bird is, but does she tell him? Do we make a personal sacrifice for the greater good?
pickSlow start but a very interesting account of a childhood spent bouncing back and forth between a game preserve in Botswana, Africa and Philadelphia, US. The last half of the book was my fav. I really enjoyed the I sight on Botswana's wildlife and culture.
pickThe author travels to #Bhutan in her early 40s and meets and marries a Buddhist artist.
This became better as it went along. At first the writing was too basic and simplistic, and more about the author than the country. However, we soon start to learn about the customs and people of Bhutan and it became much more interesting. The Bhutanese ways of thinking and viewing the world around them are particularly fascinating.

Then there‘s the blind prof the three do research for, and the policeman who must deal with the results of the conflicts. The story has revolving narrators; each of the five main characters ⬇️
