I love the sea 🤗 Distraction by hummingbird is legit! We won't put our feeder out for a few weeks yet. Still snowing regularly here. My grand parents' ranch always had a variety of owls. I used to sit our on a rock at the edge of the home pasture at night to see if I could catch sight of them. My Grandpa was in the Navy so he may have picked it up there, but he used the term 'clicks' all the time. Beautiful shells, beautiful smiles, beautiful scenes. Thank you for sharing it with us!
It’s good to hear from you Deea! Another lover of books, birds and dogs. 😊 Thanks for weighing in on clicks. I asked the question on Litsy also and over there the American respondents know it strictly in a military context (in movies and literature). It makes sense that someone formerly in the military would use it.
Hi Lindy, love the footage of the coast. I am very interested in Landbridge so I am going to look for it. Although I am not a native English speaker and don’t live in an Englis speaking country I ahve heard of clicks as a way to specify a distance. I think I have seen it in movies. Something military I think.
Hello Alina, thanks for weighing in on the usage of clicks. It solidifies the picture I’ve been getting: that it’s commonly used by the American military as well as by Canadians in general. I think you will like Landbridge.
I love hummingbirds. We have a Mexican Olive tree that attracts them when it's blooming. What an Owl Knows sounds so interesting and Desert Queen looks dazzling!
Thanks for recommending the Tiger Flu by Larissa Lai. It sounds great! I'm Irish and I've never heard clicks used as an abbreviation for kilometres. Must be a Canadian and US thing :)
Hello Becky! Welcome and thanks for weighing in on the clicks question. I’m glad Tiger Flu caught your interest and I hope you don’t have trouble finding a copy in Ireland. Happy reading!
Hi, Lindy! I'm newer to booktube, and I just adore your channel! I've already added so many books you've recommended to my queue. I'm eager to check out The Tiger Flu in particular.
Thanks so much for your lovely message! I really appreciate it. I’m glad you are finding interesting books through my videos. Are you a fan of speculative fiction in particular?
Thanks Maya. You will soon see the beauty of Vancouver Island for yourself! I checked to see if my library had any other picture books illustrated by Kohli but that’s the only one.
Fascinating as always. Owls are amazing. Have seen some since moving to the country and hear many! 🦉 The illustrations in Desert Queen are beautiful! I’m reading a lot but my current favourite read is A Suitable Boy - enjoying our slow meander through that story.
Thanks Jack. Owl vocalization is so important because they are mostly active at night. I learned that musicians, because of their trained ears, have been the best at discovering new things about owl vocalizations. I’m really enjoying A Suitable Boy too. Reading other books set in India add to the already rich experience.
There are literal book eaters in that novel, right? It sounds very weird… in a good way. We can drive to Port Renfrew when you visit if you want to up close and personal with the wild part of Vancouver Island. 😊🌊🌲
Wow Lindy, your footage of Vancouver Island is so beautiful, stunning in fact! I could watch a whole video of such shots. I will look out for the Ackerman book on owls (it is available in the UK, so will try my library first), it sounded fascinating - I'd never heard of or seen the Elf owl before, or the other one you showed us with the big head, it surprises me that owls are the least studied raptors given how popular they are with most people. Never heard "Clicks" used in the way you described here on the east coast of England, can't speak for entire UK though. Have a great week! X
Lelly, thanks for contributing to my informal poll about clicks, and I’m glad you like the scenery footage. The reason owls weren’t studied as much as other raptors is because of their nocturnal nature. But humans have been fascinated by them for a long time. There’s an owl image in Chauvet Cave that was created 36,000 years ago!
From your list, I've read The Tiger Flu. I remember the clones being very interesting. How to Pronounce Knife is one of my favourite short story collections. I've heard that clicks is Canadian but perhaps others use is it too. Love the nature footage. 😊💙
Jolene, thanks for weighing in about clicks. I just watched your zoom chat with Shawn and want to say that like you two, I keep my books in pristine condition when I read. I usually find new homes for them when I’m done, but I hold on to some that are especially precious. My copy of How to Pronounce Knife is one like that. And it looks as if it’s never been read.
@@BookwormAdventureGirl Does that mean you have more than one edition of HTPK? I ordered mine through Audreys in April 2020, as soon as it came out. Oh, and our Shadow Giller team was unanimous in choosing it as our top book. ❤️
This was such a wonderful delightful treat. You popped up in my feed for the first time, and I’m so glad. I haven’t heard of any of these books, and they’re all now on my ever-growing reading list. Love all the bird references, and the beautiful video of the sea coast & forest (being in landlocked dry Utah, it just looks so magical). Is it weird I wish we were neighbors? I need to find a feminist bookclub (or really, any inclusive friends to be honest-a new acquaintance texted me some homophobic & racist memes a couple days ago thinking it would be funny, and it made me cry that people can still be so hateful & oblivious to the hurt that causes). Apologies for over sharing, but this video felt like a healing balm and reminder of the good in the world, so thank you so much. That bit of writing you shared from The Tiger Flu was just divine, so I think I’ll hunt down that title first. Appreciate you. Blessings.
What a lovely, heartfelt message. Thank you so much! I’m glad the RUclips algorithm was in our favour. There are many online book clubs now, so perhaps you can find a likeminded group that way. Have you asked about book clubs (online or in-person ones) at your local library or bookstore? Another possibility is to start a feminist book club yourself and to get the word out via your library or bookstore. In describing the kinds of books you propose, prospective members will know if the group is their kind of thing or not. Meanwhile, welcome to this corner of booktube, a place where I prioritize kindness. 🤗
Your channel just came up for the first time in my feed today... you have a pleasant voice to listen to and such thoughtful descriptions. Glad you noticed the hummer and acknoledged it! Also, i wonder if you are a knitter as well.... i like your sweater and scarf!
Hello Carol, thanks for your message. I’m glad the algorithm was in our favour. 😊 Yes, I am a knitter. My current project is a pair of gloves. Do you knit as well?
@@lindysmagpiereads yes, i am a knitter. I browsed thru your previous entries and i saw that you have worn knitted items in just about all your episodes! So prolific!
@@carolnash5617 Not so prolific: I’ve made garments over the years. The Victoria winter climate is perfect for wool and I like to film outdoors on account of the light. Oh, and some of my knitwear is made by others. The funky blue and white fair isle hat was created by one of my sisters, for example.

Wonderful video, Lindy! I’m especially interested in the book on owls. Thank you for this thoughtful video.
Thanks Pat. Owls are such fascinating birds. 😊
Hi Lindy, Desert Queen is gorgeous, and very intriguing. Vancouver Island is absolutely breathtaking! Aloha friend.

Thanks for adding to the conversation. It seems that clicks is common within the US military and also within the general Canadian population. 🚙
