SO excited to share the news of my bird book! I can’t wait to reveal the myths and folklore of our favorite feathered friends. A big thank you to my agent Alyssa, my editor Melissa, and @andrewsmcmeelbooks for making my dreams a reality 🪶

Books from a lil bookstore! Went with @petrichorpaws and our friend who owns Nike, the Leonberger pictured <3
I bought;
The Beast You Are, by Paul Tremblay
> I want more fiction to read, and like. Look at it. Look at that title. I had to.
Soil: The Story of A Black Mother's Garden, by Camille T Dungy
> gardening, connecting with nature, diversity in nature, diversity in people, and learning more about POC are all things I love adding to my library and skill set. I'm slowly working on adding more non-animal focused books to my collection, currently primarily stuff on race and trans people
Last Stand: George Bird Grinnell, The Battle to Save the Buffalo, and the Birth of the New West, by Michael Punke
> conservation and American history book! While bison specifically aren't my interest, their history is incredibly worth studying and something I want to learn more about, and conservation books in general I always find something worthwhile and important in, even in animals and plants I have no particular interest in. History is another topic I'm slowly adding to my library, primarily focused on the Americas and Russia
Indigenous Continent, by Pekka Hämäläinen
> INCREDIBLY relatedly, looking at American history through a very different lens, focusing on indigenous perspective instead. Incredibly excited to read this one in particular
Fen, Bog, and Swamp: A Short History of Peatland Destruction and Its Role in the Climate Crisis, by Annie Proulx
> more conservation and history! I know very little about peatland, it's not something I've got much experience with being from central California, so eager to learn more
The Name of the Wind, by Patrick Rothfuss
> petrichorpaws suggested this one and the blurb on the back immediately had my attention! I don't read much fiction, much less non-animal related fiction, but I want to make an effort to branch out to it, and a friend's suggestion is one of my favorite places to start <3
Nike's owner also insisted on buying us some candles, I got three of them (The Writer, Enemies to Lovers, and Book Boyfriend), and surprised me with getting a book me and petrichorpaws were both ogling but didn't buy;
Stories from Bird Banding; Comics and photographs from the field, by Aya Rothwell

100 Birds and How They Got Their Names, by Diana Wells, illustrated by Lauren Jarrett, 2002
While not a fiction book, this book rests with my fiction books because it's a part of my childhood and belongs with the other childhood books of mine, which happen to be fiction. I actually took it from my older brother, it was a gift for his 10th birthday lol
