Did I pick this book as my next read because it made me giggle? Yes. Yes I did.

For being dated, this book is still absolutely on point. All the arguments are as valid as ever. Definitely worth reading if you haven‘t. It was hard going, reading about so many dead animals and sick people, but we need to keep books like this in regular rotation.

TheBookHippie I‘ve read this three times. I do enjoy her other works as well. 1mo

“Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature, the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.”

Feb #bookspin list ready to go! Doodles on the side courtesy of my toddler who appropriated my pen partway through to draw that and give herself “tattoos“ all down one leg and foot 🙃
Can't believe it's almost Feb but looking forward to the calls!

I bought a bar calendar for 2025 from Bar World Sanctuary, and they also sent their annual report, which is a transparent breakdown of their finances, but also an index of their rescues for the year. So many lovely sky puppies!

Yuki_Onna Awwww... So cute! 🥰🦇 3mo
AnnCrystal 🤩🦇 sky puppies! Like that nickname for them ☺️💫. 3mo
Deblovestoread Maybe I can get over my fear of them by calling them Sky puppies 🤷🏻‍♀️ 3mo
RamsFan1963 My brain is wired to see certain words. When I first saw the pic I thought it said Bat Man Sanctuary, and I wondered why it wasn't one word 🤣 3mo

Many moons ago I did an environmental studies minor in college and this book was mentioned repeatedly. I‘m glad Leopold exists for having influenced so many in thinking about the natural world, but much as I‘ve tried for several years now, this book is not for me. It just doesn‘t hold my interest.

1. I'm not setting any hard or specific goals in general for next year. But in general, I'm happy that I'm reading some print books again so I want to continue that as much as I can. And I want to be more active here!

2. Really looking forward to the tagged. Also thinking this might be the year I tackle Priory of the Orange Tree... We'll see, I do really want to read it.
