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.

#HaikuADay #HaikuHive

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

The 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.

#HaikuADay #HaikuHive

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

According 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.

TheSpineView Interesting story about the author. 2w
Andrew65 From small acorns…. I‘ve recently read her Inspector Ramsay series that she wrote in the 1990s and they were very enjoyable. Well done 🎉🎉🎉 1w

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. 😍🙌🏻🐦‍⬛

TheAromaofBooks Oooo I may have to find this!! We've been so into our birds although we haven't set up any feeders yet. I've been using the Merlin app to find out who is singing!! 2w
MemoirsForMe @TheAromaofBooks It‘s a great read. I‘m sure you‘ll love it. She covers birds seen on the West Coast. Not sure how many will make it all the way to you.😉🐦‍⬛ And now I have to check out the Merlin app. 2w
TheAromaofBooks I have found the Merlin app to be a bit addictive so proceed with caution 😂 1w
PurpleyPumpkin I agree, birdsong is so calming and sometimes even healing! I love spending time outside just listening. I‘ve even started using the Merlin Bird ID app and it‘s so much fun identifying all of the birds around us! This book sounds like it‘s right up my alley. 😉 3d
MemoirsForMe @PurpleyPumpkin Oh, I‘m so hooked on the Merlin app! This book will certainly get you birdwatching more and hanging up more bird feeders. 😊 1d

Finally 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.
