pickThis is a beautiful anthology. Poems, lyrics, quotes, stories, and essays from a wide range of contributors. Radiohead, Ursula K Le Guin, Robin Wall Kimmerer, Ada Lovelace, just to name a few. I found much of this book oddly comforting. It‘s not necessarily a read “cover to cover” all at once book. It can be one you visit here and there when you want to ground yourself in thoughts of nature. It may not be for everyone, but I enjoyed it.
Well this one sounds absolutely sweet! 🤍

pickI can‘t yet do a short “favorites” list of books of 2024, but I sure can do a favorites of each month so far!
Here‘s January 2024‘s five-star, shove-into-your-hands, gorgeously-written chunkster of a novel that reached right through to my tree-hugging heart and never let go.
Nature themed books were my sweet spot this year and I have this gem to thank for kicking it all off. 🌳

pickDelightful! In my little corner of Maine, no tree seems to be safe from new housing being built or neighbors “wanting less shade” or highways being widened all at the expense of our stately gorgeous forests. So, to spend time with this man who loves trees with a passion and has made his climbing a career of adventures and focus was so enjoyable! (There‘s crazy stuff in the trees of the world, gang. Stuff that bites and stings…and worse.😬) 4.5⭐️
