pickTake a deep dive into different aspects of bird intelligence. I enjoyed learning about many birds native to my area from blue jays and chikadees to crows, and many I am not familiar with as well. The author takes a look at intelligence in birds' natural habitats, as well as intelligence shown for human purposes. #Birds #Nature #Nonfiction
pickThis is a light pick for me. I enjoyed it but didn‘t love it. I appreciated the early history of how bookstores developed in the U.S. and found the stories of well-known independent bookstores interesting. However, this is an incredibly broad topic, and hearing about a few specific bookstores I know or have visited just made me want to learn of more variety for my list.

pickFinished ✔️ Loved this book by Dan LaRock! From the wisdom of his grandfather from the 1960s. It was wisdom then and it‘s wisdom now! Loved that he shared his grandfather‘s words with us and I thank him for that. And I thank God for giving his grandfather the words. God knew it would be as needful today as then! Recommend to those who want to expand their faith and knowledge of God and the Bible and history.

This is a fascinating look at the relationship between Tolkien and Lewis with pages of text and illustration interspersed with full graphic novel panels featuring a lion and wizard. There‘s a lot about their beliefs and writing styles more than events of their lives.

pickThis is an interesting book of short descriptions of women authors of early gothic stories to present day. I don‘t consider myself much of a horror or speculative fiction reader, but I enjoy reading a wide variety. There were several authors I have read and plenty more that piqued my interest. I enjoyed the listen, but a print copy would be ideal for better noting books to add to a TBR.

Today I learned that J.R.R. Tolkien & Edith (his future wife) spent time in tea shops as teens throwing sugar cubes into the hats of unsuspecting ladies.
This is a graphic novel biography of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, and so far I‘m intrigued by how it‘s put together. It‘s also nice to read something a bit lighter about them.
