This is a non-fiction story about a woman and her husband who spend their spare time rowing/kayaking in the high latitudes near the arctic circle. In their day jobs they are avalanche experts in Alaska. Some really interesting information about kayaking and avalanches. I can say without a doubt that while her experiences sound fascinating, I would not want to trade places and row for 10 hours straight in icy water.

An injury left Sam, mother of 3 boys, paralyzed from the chest down. Then, she & her Australian family adopted an injured bird. Healing ensued. The gorgeous photography is my favourite part of this book because the text is a little heavy on schmaltz. ie: “angels come in all shapes & sizes” & “we are all our journeys, hopes & dreams clad in mortal wrapping paper. It‘s a feel-good true story & I recommend it.

I love Cameron Bloom‘s photos of life with a magpie his family rescued when it was an injured fledgling.

It must be said, there is no such thing as potty-training a magpie—at least so far as we could tell. After Penguin added her signature flourish to the furniture, carpet, bedspreads, curtains, hats, television and computers for the umpteenth time, we decided she was old enough to get her own apartment.

This is such a touching story and the photography is superb. It captures the emotion perfectly and is extremely moving.

Clwojick I love all the Bradley Tyler Grieve books, and I used to follow this family on Instagram. Love their photos! 2y

The Mike Bowditch novels are pure fun to read and this one, set largely on a Island bird sanctuary, is no exception. Mike has reunited with his girlfriend, Stacey Stevens, and they‘re on a kayak vacation visiting an island where Stacey studied Puffins. Someone has been threatening the staff, and there are lots of suspects from lobstermen to stalking photographers. Then a horrible tragedy strikes. Great Maine vistas, and the usual tight plot.

I‘ve lived in Maine my whole life and know many men and women in varying branches of law enforcement so maybe that helps make these books a smooth treat for me? I truly think the series gets better with each installment. This is my favorite so far! The author has given us a crime fighting duo by adding with commitment a strong and intelligent female partner to our main character and I cannot wait to be with them both again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I meant to finish this last night, but feel asleep reading. As you can tell by that comment, not my favorite Mike Bowditch book. It's number 13 and Doiron took him out of his comfort zone, the Maine Woods.

The book just didn't keep my attention as good as the others have. I prefer Bowditch in the Maine Woods.
