And still finding it fascinating! Listening to Gifts of the Crow, by John Marzluff and Tony Angell, which is good too. I don't have to work on Easter Sunday! Hooray. My adult kids and I will likely go to church and…

Fascinating look at animal senses. Listening to The Body, by Bill Bryson. Another good one. I don't know any February 29 babies...

I'm thoroughly enjoying this look at animal senses and how much they differ from human's. Just finished listening to The Soul of an Octopus, which I found mesmerizing! Joy, tears, the works! Am beginning to listen …

And listening now to The Soul of an Octopus, by Sy Montgomery. Neither is a new author for me, and neither has let me down so far!

With Extraordinary Goats. It is TBR behind a couple of others, but I'll send it when it's read.

It is historical fiction. No typos that I've noticed. Listening to Florida, by Lauren Groff. Excellent so far!

With An Immense World. It is TBR behind my current (pretty large) read, so it may be a few weeks before I get it to you.

I have loved Turner ever since I read These Is My Words and this one seems good too. Just finished the audiobook for We Have Always Lived in the Castle, by Shirley Jackson. Wow.

I keep trying to register this but the site is still not cooperating. I just finished listening to Midnight Rising: John Brown and the Raid That Sparked the Civil War, by Tony Horwitz. This is an excellent read, and I…

With Fifty Animals that Changed the Course of History. It's TBR, but I'll send it along after I read it.

It is a quite enjoyable novel about Napoleon in exile on St. Helena. Also listening to Bringing Nature Home by Douglas Tallamy. This is a very good book but I feel I'm losing something by listening to it. (I don't kno…

Got to add some of these to my wishlist, which is already groaning! Vaccinated and Zapped both sound interesting!

A biography of Robert Ripley (of Ripley's Believe It or Not fame). It's pretty good, if old. I should finish it before the end of the year. Just started listening to Bringing Nature Home by Douglas Tallamy. It's a dis…

He is becoming a favorite author. This book was heartbreaking but somewhat hopeful, and beautifully written. Going to start today an older book, Ripley, The Modern Marco Polo, by Bob Considine. It is a biography of Ro…

So far, it's heartbreaking... But I hope there'll be some hope in it! I enjoyed Cleave's Everyone Brave is Forgiven, so I trust him.

Remarkably Bright Creatures, by Shelby Van Pelt. Apparently this one divides folks, but I am enjoying it. Also, rereading My Life and Hard Times because I needed a laugh and I can always count on James Thurber to give…
