Truly a beautiful book for anyone who loves nature writing and birds. Charming illustrations and thoughtful essays in a moment when close attention to nature is so important.

Robert Macfarlane’s IS A RIVER ALIVE? combines beautiful imagery, personal journey, and nature advocacy once again! Macfarlane travels to three different rivers to explore their environmental and geopolitical impacts while positing whether the natural world & ‘more-than-human’ relations should have rights and representation. I highly recommend this timely book for any kind of reader.

Retellings of myths are all the rage these days & I enjoyed KAIKEYI by Vaishnavi Patel quite a bit.
“This lyrical novel reimagines the life of the infamous queen from the ancient epic the Ramayana, giving voice to an extraordinary woman determined to leave her mark in a world where gods and men dictate the shape of things to come.”

“Spanning eight decades--and one unusually awkward adolescence- Jeffrey Eugenides's [MIDDLESEX] is a grand, utterly original fable of crossed bloodlines, the intricacies of gender, and the deep, untidy promptings of desire.”
Miranda’s Pick
I read this before a recent trip to Ireland; it was a compelling read and a great way to learn more about The Troubles and Ireland in general.
