It was wonderful to be home this week and do regular things---birdwatching, riding my bike, enjoying Happy Hour with my friend, spending time with my writing friends, butterfly monitoring, going out to eat lunch with my dad, and reading. A lot of reading. I finished three good books, nothing heavy, though a lot of Secret Lives of Booksellers and Librarians takes on the current hostile atmosphere toward books here in America.
What I Read Last Week:
World of Pies by Karen Stolz (Novel)
The Secret Lives of Booksellers and Librarians: True Stories of the Magic of Reading by James Patterson (Nonfiction)
The Patchwork Girl of Oz by L. Frank Baum (Children's Fantasy)

What I'm Reading Now:

Funny Story by Emily Henry (Novel)
The Bed of Procrustes: Philosophical and Practical Aphorisms by Nassim Nicholas Taleb (Nonfiction)
What I Posted Last Week Here at Readerbuzz:
I began to list 3 Good Things every day during the pandemic. Now I've established a regular routine of writing down my 3 Good Things. Here are 3 Good Things from last week:
Good Thing #1:
I participated in Global Big Day on May 11.
I saw 25 species of birds in my own yard that day.
Worldwide, eBirders reported seeing 7,726 species of birds.
Good Thing #2:
I may declare my yard to be a wildlife refuge!
One day this week I saw nine White Ibises
strolling around my yard.
Good Thing #3:
It could easily have been a wreck,
but I was able to slowly exit the freeway
when I realized the back tire had blown out
and change my tire without incident last week.
