Finding Hope and Whimsy
Books that feel like a warm hug and leave us feeling hopeful and whimsical, a little light amidst the dark. For the days we cannot have any more reality but instead need a cup of fluffy dreams and a pick-me-up and some optimism for the future

Books to reconnect to nature and the fact that we are just a part of it. Both in the most beautiful and terrible ways ๐โ๏ธ๐ฆ๐พ๐ฟ๐ชด๐๐บ๐ป๐ More non-fiction than fiction
