The progress of the story is rather slow, but that might be because we readers are itching to see what happened to the missing girl...and whether Billy would ever recover well enough to gain a semblance of a normal life...

The author is very knowledgeable about nature! So many references to birds, fish, and different types of trees

The main character of the novel, Billy, is apparently a bird-lover (that’s why he is a pilot). Hence the title! I don’t care at all about bird names, they all look and sound very similar to me, but the small-town Americana feel of this novel really connects with me

This novel’s provincial story unexpectedly makes it easy to follow. Living in the suburbs of a small-sized city myself, I find the characters relatable...

Interesting premise: another nonfiction memoir about experience in North Korea, but not through the eyes of a Western journalist nor a defector...

Just started reading this autobiography by the late former archbishop of Chicago. It’s interesting to get inside his head and see his insights on things

Correction: apparently the author is a Filipina Canadian. And just like several Filipino overseas diaspora folks whom I know personally, she also comes from a prominent family in the Philippines!

This Filipina American’s memoir-graphic novel seems like one that can give me an insight to what their family life is like...being separated from their ancestral country but still forming huge tight-knit communities overseas
