Here‘s what I‘m #currentlyreading.
Sherlock Holmes: I‘m caught up on the #noplacelikeholmes buddy read.
Broken Play: This is an ARC I signed up to read coming out June 5. It‘s good but I need to make more progress in it.
Ten Birds That Changed The World: This was the February book for #naturalitsy.
Royal Assassin: I just started listening to this book for #realmofelderlings. I only listened to the prologue but it‘s good.

I‘m happy our daily haikus are continuing. They give me peace & joy. Today‘s is about the early-rising birds outside my bedroom window. I like hearing them while I slowly wake up.
Morning Sounds
Sunday, birds chatter
Early risers greet the light
I prefer to snooze

pickThe loveliest story of a young boy rescued from a shipwreck by a lighthouse keeper. Over the following years, he goes to boarding school and moves to other parts of England, but the pull of the lighthouse island always calls him back. When he is able to return, he finds the island just how he remembered it. It‘s geared to 9-12 year olds and is written 1st person, but it‘s a sweet read for adults as well. The illustrations were my favorite part.

Yesterday I was watching a red-crested cardinal scavenging outside the coffee shop & it reminded me of one that hung out in another coffee shop & would fly in daily & grab a sugar-in-the-raw pack, fly back outside & open it up & share with friends. (Excuse the bad photo!) He‘s the inspiration for today‘s haiku.
Red-Crested Cardinals
Bold red mohawks fly
Scavenging with bright-eyed flair
Cheeky sugar thieves

pickAccording to the author, this was her first published whodunit,(1986) which she wrote while she & her husband were living on the tidal island of Hibre, in the Dee.She was pregnant with her first child, so she thought she might write. George Palmer-Jones,retired Home Office agent,& his wife Molly, an ex-social worker, heed the call to see rare bird. P-J a “twitcher”goes to the birding site. A murder occurs early on. I had no idea who to suspect.
Sunday morning coffee & a book. Immersing myself in the Norfolk coast,& the Scottish Scilly Isles & its birdwatching world, with a little murder & mystery thrown in the mix. #shelfsweeper #4Elizabeth #serieslove2024
pickI‘ve always believed that watching birds and listening to their sweet songs can calm the anxious mind. So it was a soothing adventure to join Amy in her elaborate backyard refuge and see who‘s showing up for her daily bistro. Amy‘s illustrations are stunning and her inquisitive observations are both intriguing and downright comical! I even learned to identify many of my own backyard visitors. 😍🙌🏻🐦⬛

pickFinally got this book to get caught up in the series. In this one, Hilda and her mom are moved in at Trolberg and Hilda is looking for adventure. What she finds is an unusual bird and winds up getting lost trying to get home. Loved the graphics and the story.
