Welcome to Litsy!

Ooohh, yummy!
Come to think about it, I haven't been to a picnic for years... Time to change that, right?
1. Pasta salads, canapés, falafel, eggs, salads, fruits & desserts, I suppose... 😋
🥗🌺🍉🥂🧆🍛
2. Psychological thrillers or YA thrillers, my go-to beach read choice. Or short stories.

Don‘t know if this is based on the book, BUT have any of y‘all watched this? It is EXCELLENT. If you love octopuses, it‘s a must see! 🐙 ♥️ @TheBookHippie @Soubhiville @DebinHawaii (tagging y‘all since you‘ve posted about that incredible octopus, etc book that I‘ve yet to read!)

I liked the parts of this that were memoir of Helen‘s life, her childhood and love for her dad, her fascination with hawking from a young age, and her experience raising and working with goshawk Mable.

As other reviews have said, I could have done without most of the parts about TH White. I ended up skimming a lot of that, and don‘t think the book needed that much info about him.

I am interested in her other books.

Good morning from Sietje 🙂🐕

Brilliant book.
Nature and people, a patch if park and lonely characters.
Really gentle.

Cor, I liked this book.
I judged the author very wrongly at first but realised how wrong I was.
I learnt so much from his travels, about African nations, immigration and perspective. I was fascinated by the nature he wrote about, not just swallows. And I adored the unexpected romance! ❤️
One that will stay with me ☺️🙂

This book grew on me. After reading it outloud 18 times to K-5, the points kids took from it were: it's true, they could relate to feeling invisible, and they wanted to know more about homeroom. But what they seemed to really enjoy was designing their own landscapes.
