pickLet the holiday reading season commence! McLean is a Canadian National Treasure, and his story Dave Cooks the Turkey is a classic Vinyl Cafe listen. It also makes a delightful short read on a chilly December night.
If you've got the time, it really is worth listening to him tell the story, or can be found here: https://youtu.be/4VmMUM0HW6E?si=jpl-AEC1hSrbw2io
so-soThis one was hit or miss for me. Funny in parts, annoying in others. The fake bird names and over-the-top commentary sometimes overshadowed the genuinely interesting bird facts. The art, though? Gorgeous. I kept reading for the illustrations more than the jokes. A good pick for fans of weird humor and bird-related rants. 🐦😤
I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

#BookHaul part 3 from #BN #BarnesandNoble in #Sarasota — we said hello to our favorite bookseller Miss Sandy and I swear I was very judicious in my choices! (That‘s my story and I‘m sticking to it!). I‘ll also post many books that caught my eye but didn‘t make the cut today 😜
pickThis is not a Shaun Tan book I am used to but I loved it! It's about a fake inventor named Henry Archibald Mintox and the fake stories about the inventions pictured in the book. The pictures are actually really from the Powerhouse Museum. I thought the pictures, and the stories were great and hilarious.
#wdncw when we say we‘re here for the power of Miss Piggy. Can we all agree that insecure men should be relics of the past? And can women stop defending them too? Happy to see journalists like Mary Bruce & Jennifer Jacobs standing up to insecure men & asking them tough questions (hopefully the rest of the journalism pools will also grow a backbone). Bring on the matriarchy & down with the patriarchy.
