TheKidUpstairs I think I'm on my way to befriending a pair. I've been putting out peanuts for them when I see them around. This morning, one of them came and started calling for their snack. 2w

Another excellent read! There is so much going on in this book, between the political strife forming between the clans, the journey of the sea captain, and the emotional hurricane of the new god avatars, but it all works together quite well. I love visiting this world Roanhorse has built. #Fantasy #Indigenous #LGBTQIA #Crows

Unique MG novel about twins Lark and Iris set in Minneapolis. It involves love, separation, self empowerment, some fantasy, and the unfathomable closeness of identical twins.

These are all I‘ve read in the last two weeks. (Well, Nancy's Mysterious Letter too so I‘m all set for tomorrow‘s discussion @Librarybelle ) Between house guests, getting Covid for the 5th time, & trying to catch up from a week off work it‘s been a struggle!
I enjoyed both installments in the Tony McLean series, liked Skye Falling (tho Skye is a LOT [excellent narration on audio]), & found Hollow Kingdom very clever & creative yet repetitive.

Librarybelle You‘ve still managed well with reading! Hope things calm down for you and that you are feeling better! 5mo
kspenmoll I hope you are recovered from Covid! 5mo
bookandbedandtea @Librarybelle I've just had my last busy day for a while and I'm nearly feeling back to normal 🩷 5mo
bookandbedandtea @kspenmoll I'm feeling so much better! Thanks 💜 5mo

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!

squirrelbrain Great review - love the cover! 6mo
batsy Agree with @squirrelbrain that's such a great cover. 6mo

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.

Crow Planet is an incredible reminder that humanity exists within the world alongside the wilderness rather than separate from it. A very interesting read that provides a realistic outlook on the state of nature around us.

Terrific. Shockingly, the MoFos are dying, the result of their screen addiction. Mother Nature always wins. Told by a crow (ST), this is one of the best books I‘ve read in 2023.
