Ravens in Winter | Bernd Heinrich

I do love corvids, even if the Blue Jay's are gluttons at my feeders. Can I complain about the uptick in book prices at goodwill lately though? What's up with that?

TheBookHippie Seriously here as well 😳💵💸 2mo

This was just what I needed after Clarissa! Light, hope-filled, and fun. With Smiley‘s deft prose to boot. It was also my April #doublespin and I finally got around to it. 😂

Stocking up on candles by ordering early so that I can set the mood when reading my spooky October books this fall. Between these and my #HauntedHollowSwap #HHS23 shopping, I'm really getting in the Halloween mood. Is it October yet?

ShelleyBooksie The brain one is cool and disturbing at the same time. 7mo
CuriousG @ShelleyBooksie definitely! My husband has a brain injury, so I'm partial to things that are brains. We even have a brain cake mold 😄 7mo
CuriousG @ShelleyBooksie we use dark humour to express our affection for functioning brains...and understanding for ones that don't want to cooperate (which definitely includes mine) 🙃 7mo

Arabel's Raven | Joan Aiken

Pickpick

I came across this childhood favorite on Hoopla, and it was every bit as hilarious and quirky as I remember. This book collects three stories featuring sweet Arabel and her terror of a raven, who goes around croaking “Nevermore” and eating everything in sight, sleeps in the coal scuttle (or the bread bin when he wants a change), and slides down the stairs on a tea tray (when he hasn‘t eaten the stairs, that is). ⤵️

BarbaraJean Favorite scene in this one is with babysitter Chris Cross (😂), when they go out to buy milk (because in their raucous games, Mortimer broke the milk bottle). They have to go to a vending machine because everything‘s closed, and end up trying out all the automatic machines in the train station (including one that blows your nose for you). Quentin Blake‘s illustrations are perfection. (edited) 7mo

I‘m looking forward to giving Mind of the Raven a second chance in paper, since I bailed on the audio. Thank you Holly! I‘m excited to read all of these. It‘s perfect timing for The Marriage Portrait, she‘s the #AAM for July. And I love mango, about to open this treat up. 💕

squirrelbrain Lovely! ❤️ 10mo
Hooked_on_books You‘re so welcome! I saw that you bailed on Raven and my copy was in pretty good shape, so I figured I would include it. I hope those mangoes are good—they‘re very popular here, but I‘m a little afraid to try them myself. 😂 10mo
Soubhiville @Hooked_on_books I LOVED The Marriage Portrait, wish I‘d read it while in Florence, but it was neat to realize I had just seen some of the sights there as I read it! 8mo
Hooked_on_books @Soubhiville That‘s such cool symmetry! I love it when that happens—it really adds to the reading experience. I‘m so glad you liked it! 8mo

The book was a fascinating look at the life of ravens but the narration was drab 🐦‍⬛

I found myself enjoying his experiments with these birds, as well as some of the close relationships he & others developed over time while working with them. We know each of our pets have such different personalities, it was fascinating to see that come out with wild animals as well when you worked with them over time. I also liked the history part of how they operate in the wild, & how that played into human history & into our myths & legends.

Riveted_Reader_Melissa Thank you #NaturaLitsy for putting this one on my reading radar. @AllDebooks 12mo
TheBookHippie I really liked this book. 12mo
