📖 Wild Hares & Hummingbirds: The Natural History of an English Village by Stephen Moss
1. Yes, I put them in the mail this morning. Only because I couldn‘t stand writing a check to the federal government. I literally shed a few tears thinking about where my money was going and where it wasn‘t.

pickI picked this up on a whim based on a blurb on the cover from author Jeff VanderMeer. A thoughtful and compelling account of Christopher Brown's effort to convert an abandoned lot full of concrete debris and an underground oil pipeline into an unconventional home. Told in brief vignettes and sketches rather than in a linear storyline, Brown's paean to unbridled nature made me yearn for spring and time to work on my chaos garden.
pickAbsolutely loved this. A years adventure in a 20kmx20km map centred around the authors home. Really made me think about exploring more of the area in which I live - something I did a lot during Covid but may resume once I‘m moving a bit more!
Also some really interesting thoughts around sustainability, right to roam, housing, and numerous other topics.

pickDiane Boyd has been researching wolves since the 1970s and shares some of her experiences here. It‘s largely stories, many of which are quite funny, of her time working with wolves rather than a more traditional memoir. I loved it!
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!

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.
