Welcome to Litsy!

I‘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. 😍🙌🏻🐦‍⬛

Here‘s my review for this book I read for the #naturalitsy buddy read. This was the January book.

When I bought tickets to watch this documentary film with a longtime friend at our childhood stomping grounds in Worcester (MA), I wondered if the (human) stars of my current audiobook would be there.

They were! 🐢

I drove past the house I grew up in, too, for the first time in about a decade. There are solar panels on the roof now and the front yard looked lovely. There were even a couple of young flowering trees. It made me happy to see.

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

I was hoping to finish this over the weekend on a camping trip, but alas it didn‘t quite happen. I enjoyed Amy‘s views on birdwatching and love her inquisitiveness about their behavior. I‘ve started looking up in the trees more on walks and hikes and enjoyed falling asleep to the sound of the whippoorwills over the weekend. Tan‘s artwork is beautiful and I loved that she included her journal entries throughout the book.
