Mailbox Monday and It’s Monday! What Are You Reading?

Mailbox Monday

Mailbox Monday was created by The Printed Page. It is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their home last week.

Mailbox Monday is currently on tour, hosted by a different blog each month. The July host is BookNAround.

What the Robin Knows: How Birds Reveal the Secrets of the Natural World
by Jon Young

Birds are the sentries—and our key to understanding the world beyond our front door. Unwitting humans create a zone of disturbance that scatters the wildlife. Respectful humans who heed the birds acquire an awareness that radically changes the dynamic. We are welcome in their habitat. The birds don’t fly away. The larger animals don’t race off. No longer hapless intruders, we now find, see, and engage the deer, the fox, the red-shouldered hawk—even the elusive, whispering wren.

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading?

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is hosted by Sheila at Book Journey.

Share what you read last week and what you are currently reading.

Another slow reading week for me. Maybe it’s all those migrating birds to watch and long walks in the pleasant autumn weather plus a busy weekend.

I’m almost finished listening to The Little Stranger, only a couple of hours left. This is part of the RIP Readalong at The Estella Society. I’m still reading The Last Policeman and should finish it up this week.

Reading/Listening This Week:

Coming up next is some psychological suspense, Innocent Victims, for RIP VII and I’ll be listening to Cascade and Roots of the Olive Tree.

Giveaway

Last week I posted my review and giveaway of Where’d You Go, Bernadette, a sharply funny, enjoyable read.

The giveaway is open for entry until Sunday, September 16th for readers with a US or Canadian mailing address. (Sorry International folks, the publisher is mailing the books.)
