These little wrens are some of our favorite birds. I discovered a pair building a nest in a hanging plant - so far, no eggs, but apparently they build multiple nests and then choose the best one. Still hopeful! Such spunky little friends. #haikuaday #haikuhive

BooksandCoffee4Me Ah, I love this!! We‘ve had hummingbirds nest on our wind chimes a couple of years. So fun to watch for the babies and see them grow. 💛 2d

DebinHawaii I love this. Such a pretty little bird & you‘ve captured her so well! Also love “speckled eggs surprise!” 💛🐝💛 2d
CBee @BooksandCoffee4Me now, hummingbirds are my absolute favorite! I would die if they were nesting where I could see it. I wish we could post videos on Litsy, because once summer really hits, the hummers are out in full force! I love to stand out there and watch them zoom - they are wonderful ♥️ 2d
CBee @DebinHawaii thank you! 2d

Tamra Funny you mention it! I only just late last week put up a hanging basket and today I discovered there is already a nest with a tiny blue egg. House wren family. They have been busy! (edited) 1d
CBee @Tamra that‘s wonderful!! I read that they lay one egg a day, so you should have more tomorrow and maybe the next day ♥️♥️ 1d
Reggie What an awesome snapshot of nature in a haiku! This rocks, chica! 1d

1. Two authors (I‘m sorry I couldn‘t choose just one!) I‘ve discovered recently—and whose books I‘ve been reading about as quickly as I can get my hands on them—are Keigo Higashino and William Kent Krueger. Both write mysteries, albeit very different ones, and I can‘t get enough.

2. Tagged book is fantastic. Took me way too long to get around to reading it.

@TheSpineView

TheSpineView That's great that you found two. Thanks for playing 2d

5feet.of.fury I just started this one yesterday! I didn‘t realize it was part of a series until I started reading 2d
rwmg @5feet.of.fury It is, but there were, according to wikipedia, 76 novels, only 7 of which have been translated into English and not as far as I can see in any particular order from the series. 2d

This is cute. There are a lot of these types of books now but I believe this was one of the first. I don't know if I'm just over this genre but I do not feel compelled to read the rest of the series.

This was an interesting read. I found it a bit goofy at times, and at times it made me really uncomfortable. I would say some things are a bit overexplained and overwritten, but the way this book makes the reader rethink how they view the images that are presented is very unique nd refreshing. The “mystery“ itself isn't exactly revolutionary, but the book does a good job of humanizing the antagonists and protagonists.

Doppoetry The translation was pretty decent, although some sentences here and there were awkwardly worded. 5d
Doppoetry The “mystery“ also solved a bit TOO neatly for my taste, considering most of the statements that were made were speculations, and yet they were correct each time. 5d

A volume of seemingly disparate stories that are actually tied together, each one driven by epistolary elements. The tone of SP is at times that of the content creator of a You Tube video essay. While surprising at times, SP is not quite as clever as it likes to think. For the shortcomings, it's a pleasant way to spend an afternoon. A soft pick,

Suet624 But the cover says it‘s a sensation! 😂 5d
vivastory @Suet624 There was a blurb on the back calling it “quiet horror..“ I'm so tired of the qualifiers when people speak of genre “elevated horror“ “quiet horror“ A couple of weeks ago I was watching a video online & someone used the phrase (in all seriousness) “elevated sci-fi“ I rolled my eyes so hard that I nearly strained them lolol 4d
Suet624 😂😂😂 literary hyperbole 4d

vivastory @BarbaraBB Reading my review I was a bit harsh, but it's a good beach read with some genuine surprises. Hope you enjoy 4d

I really enjoyed this book. The picture puzzles were intriguing & the twists compelling. I sped through this book. I would have finished it in one go if I didn‘t have to work. 😁 I hate to use the word “fun” because there are some really bleak moments in this book, but it WAS fun to read.
Didn‘t have the perfect green, and it was a lighter weight so I added an additional round, but I still like this #grannysquare for my #bookblanket #doublespin
