Benches outside a library in Bulgaria

I mean, would that be so difficult?

@DefAMustRead Have you seen this @twoirishvamps ? Looks fascinating

My aunt just called. She & my uncle have decided they are ready to be old - downsize, sell their home, move to the beach. He wants me to have his library 😳 approximately the same size as mine is currently. This summer, I will have more than 5,000 books in my library 🥹

This is why libraries and bookstores will always be one of the best places in the world. Picked up a book I did not know existed, which I did not know I wanted, but which I find absolutely fascinating (an anthropological history of how various cultures have interacted with the “undead”: it strongly appeals to my love of the gothic aesthetic and literature…). Serendipity. @Boghallen

Part of my #relax & #recharge style is to #read a well-written but fun #book & Operation Sunshine by Jenny Colgan was exactly that! #readingcommunity

Well Done Spain 🇪🇸. A ROOF TILE THAT’S GIVING LITTLE OWLS THEIR HOMES BACK In rural Spain, a clever design is helping thousands of nocturnal birds reclaim what modern construction quietly took away. The Little Owl once nested in old stone walls and traditional farmhouses. But as rural architecture modernized, those natural cavities disappeared — leaving these small hunters without shelter. So conservationists from the Grup de Naturalistes d’Osona and Grup de Natura Sterna designed something brilliant. They created the Teula Mussolera — a modified clay roof tile that doubles as a high-tech birdhouse. Here’s why it works: It looks exactly like traditional Spanish roofing — preserving the beauty of rural homes. Its internal tunnel is predator-proof and thermally stable, protecting chicks from heat and hunters. It allows owls to live alongside humans as villages expand. And here’s the smartest part… This isn’t charity. It’s partnership. The Little Owl is an elite natural pest controller — hunting thousands of insects and rodents every year. Farmers who install these tiles aren’t just helping wildlife… they’re recruiting a silent, feathered security team that reduces the need for chemical pesticides. Sometimes conservation isn’t about separating humans and nature. It’s about designing a way to thrive together.
