Welcome to Litsy!

I do love a how many have you read type list! Even if, as many have pointed out already, this one is very skewed. And of course heaven forbid we get genre cooties on our Serious Best Books list (except Jemisin cause she's exceptional but don't worry Cloud Atlas can't possibly be genre [except it totally is] cause David Mitchell is a Serious Literary Author don't you know - but definitely no romance or fantasy or YA or *gasp* all three!)

When you‘re waiting for the storm to pass but you don‘t mind because you brought your book!!!

I liked the parts of this that were memoir of Helen‘s life, her childhood and love for her dad, her fascination with hawking from a young age, and her experience raising and working with goshawk Mable.

As other reviews have said, I could have done without most of the parts about TH White. I ended up skimming a lot of that, and don‘t think the book needed that much info about him.

I am interested in her other books.

Good morning from Sietje 🙂🐕

It's not the tagged book, but it's edited by the same author.

Finished the 18th installment of the Joe Pickett series and these books just get better and better. This one has several different subplots that creep along toward connecting. I love Pickett‘s family and his friends, especially his now-adult daughter Sheridan. The bad guys are really really bad in here, and the snowy, wintery weather and terrain is fun to read about while it‘s 70 degrees and perfect outside. #FabulousFebruary

I got a new mug for my coffee and I love it! #dogperson

#midwintersolace #naturalitsy I LOVED this book. I think it was the cover that grabbed me, then I realized HM wrote this about her grief journey when her father died suddenly. My father had died suddenly and I was ( with my sister) suddenly aware of how much work my father had been doing to support my mom and her declining health ( she eventually was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia). Absolutely no falconry aspirations but I got the grief

First book I have read in this series, and I would happily read another. The main character, Joe, is a forest ranger trying to solve a missing person's case in a small town. The story was fast paced and the characters were interesting. First book of 2024!
