bookpile beauties

 

two new and beautiful books adorn my current reading pile:  "the comfort of crows: a backyard year" by margaret renkle and "bite by bite: nourishments & jamborees" by amy nezhukumatathil

the writing is just as beautiful as the illustrations for which i want to give credit:  the former done by billy renkl and the latter artwork attributed to fumi nakamura.
