Flora and the Peacocks | Molly Schaar Idle

@wanderinglynn It‘s arrived! Late in posting it‘s been bit of a circus here.

In 2010/11 I mentored a young mom who was terrified of peacocks like a phobia even pictures of them. She was light and full of laughter and had a fun sense of humor. She knew I loved peacocks and would gift me things but say don‘t open it I don‘t want to freak out. I love her as my child as I‘d mentored her her entire childhood. She died in childbirth January 19, 2011⬇️

TheBookHippie When she died we found a peacock wallet wrapped up 🦚. When Lynn said she had an extra one of these she kindly mailed it on having no idea how much this meant at first. We plan to puzzle this with her friends one of which was my daughter. Thank you Lynn. This means so much. 6d

wanderinglynn I‘m so glad I could add a little joy. Enjoy! It really is a beautiful puzzle. 💚🧩🦚💚 6d

LapReader I have issues with them too from my Nan. Her little sister was wearing green when she died and there were peacock feathers in the room. I can‘t have them in my house eg. a girlfriend gave me a tea cup with a peacock on it. I gave it away to the op shop. 6d

TheBookHippie @wanderinglynn ♥️♥️♥️♥️ 6d

TheBookHippie @LapReader 😵‍💫 I understand phobias. It can be so frightening! 6d

The Atomic Weight of Love | Elizabeth J. Church

pick

A beautifully written book about a young woman who sublimates her own scientific ambitions in order to accompany her older “scientific genius” husband working in Los Alamos in the 1940s. There is some lovely nature writing in here as she continues to spend time watching birds in New Mexico. For all that this sounds like my kind of quiet thoughtful book, i struggled to connect with the protagonist and her timidity. Probably me and not the book!

squirrelbrain Great review - love the cover! 6d

batsy Agree with @squirrelbrain that's such a great cover. 6d

so-so

The world building is unique. I really enjoyed that aspect of it. I was a little bored with the story at first, but once I got into it, I ended up really enjoying it. I can't wait for the next book to come out to see what happens.

Don't Let the Pigeon Stay Up Late! | Mo Willems

Borrowed from my daughter's library for this prompt. From the hysterical #animalPOV of a very stubborn pigeon, she owns most of his books and gets a kick out of each one. #Springskies

Alfie and Me: What Owls Know, What Humans Believe | Carl Safina

pick

I enjoyed this audiobook! Narrated by the author, this details not only the relationship with the titular Eastern screech owl, Alfie, but also some wider historical information and thoughts on humanity‘s relationship with the world at large. Alfie‘s presence certainly brightened Safina‘s time during the pandemic & I shared his worries as I thought about all the dangers facing Alfie, as well as appreciating the backyard wildlife Safina described!
