Welcome to Litsy!

A beautifully written book about a young woman who sublimates her own scientific ambitions in order to accompany her older “scientific genius” husband working in Los Alamos in the 1940s. There is some lovely nature writing in here as she continues to spend time watching birds in New Mexico. For all that this sounds like my kind of quiet thoughtful book, i struggled to connect with the protagonist and her timidity. Probably me and not the book!

This is so well done and I think anyone can learn from these. There are things crows do that remind me of humans. One thing I didn‘t know that crows are very good imitators (with sounds!). This series called “Science Comics” and is so good. This is the 2nd book I‘ve read in the series and they‘ve both been very good and I have learned things! The illustrations are also very well done, including images of a couple of things in their actual size.

I do love corvids, even if the Blue Jay's are gluttons at my feeders. Can I complain about the uptick in book prices at goodwill lately though? What's up with that?

Stocking up on candles by ordering early so that I can set the mood when reading my spooky October books this fall. Between these and my #HauntedHollowSwap #HHS23 shopping, I'm really getting in the Halloween mood. Is it October yet?

Two bird-related books checked off prompts. And they‘re both chock-full of great factoids and info on all things birdish. The pandemic connected me to my backyard in new ways. I‘ve always gardened but now I‘m feeding copious numbers of birdies. And taking their pictures. So much fun!

Another good book about birding and the love of birds. If you like The Big Year you will like this book. Very narrative. You don‘t have to be a birder to appreciate his enthusiasm for birds.

This guy, giving me the side eye .. .

This is a great birdwatching guide.

I found the cutest little footprints this morning. A bird playing 'cold feet, cold feet, cold feet' instead of Sully's 'scary feet, scary feet, scary feet'. (Monsters Inc)

Current lap status. Guess I‘m reading this now because I can‘t get up to reach any other books. 😂 #Gatsby #Ozzie
