Three #Window titled books on my Kindle TBR.🪟🪟🪟

I loooove this book! ❣️❣️❣️

Current audiobook

I just adore Jane Goodall. Following the chimps of Gombe is an always fascinating delight (even though there is some truly great tragedy detailed here). Reseach has been ongoing for nearly sixty years now and while Goodall has many more books there is not another in this vein (following the research and close views of the chimpanzee families in Gombe in the way that this book and her earlier, In the Shadow of Man, do).

💕

Another wonderful book from Jane Goodall. In this one she goes into more detail about the life stories of certain chimpanzees and specific aspects of their behaviour. I especially loved the sections on different mothers and babies, the way not all female chimpanzees are good mothers and how the chimps turn out later. The last few chapters focus on chimpanzees in captivity and are really heartbreaking 💔

It's been quite a busy morning with a friend's daughter playing with us, but now we're downstairs in the garden and I'm trying to read a bit while the kids make "nature food" ?

Took my new read off the shelf - a book that was on our shelves almost my whole childhood and that I decided I must finally read - to find this cute bookmark that must have come from the Caledon Library where my mom worked as a librarian in her first job before she met and married my dad! It must be easily 40 years old!

Imagine if they had Instagram 😂

Can‘t wait to read this one! Jane - my hero ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 Figured this would be the proper snack to go with the book 😊

It's #WorldWildlifeDay today!

Jane Goodall is one of the most prominent scientists doing research on wildlife, how humanity impacts it, and how it impacts us. We're all part of the same ecosystem. Environmental justice has an important place alongside social justice. 🌏🌿🐒

I remember exactly when I knew I would be an English teacher. I was in 1st grade and had gotten a C in a quiz. My determination never wavered: I had found my vocation. Except it did. When I was 13 my family took me to Busch Gardens, FL. Upon exiting the gorilla exhibit there was a cart that sold, among of their souvenirs, books. I bought this one with my own money. 👇🏻#ReadJanuary #Autobiography

My real #readingcompanion (the husband) is a reluctant Litsy model so I will share the view from my library window. This is Jack, my neighbour's cat, and he can be found here every day. #PhotoADayNov16
