I don't know about it in general, but I've had Kitchen by Banana Yoshimoto for years now. It was sent to me without my realizing it was part of the 1001-library, so I didn't want to wild release it after reading. Hap…

In my last house, I saved a baby bird from my cat and set in a ledge outside by my potted plants, out of reach of the cats, to recover itself. Within a matter of literally seconds, almost before I turned away, a crow swo…

I have a copy of Time's Magpie: A Walk in Prague by Myla Goldberg--a small non-fiction book that I keep meaning to get to, and it seems a good overview of the city.

[[Wow. What a nice discovery. I'm glad you journaled. And posted here.]] I was so excited! I think it's maybe only the second time I've found a truly wild book here in Nepal!
