Recs if you like The Possibility of Tenderness: A Jamaican memoir of plants and dreams...

Non-fiction that focuses on plants. Grow that brain🌻

Culture and history outside of the "western world". Recommendations welcome! :)

Part memoir, part exploration of nature these books tackle environmental themes and/or science through the lens of the author’s life story.

These books were not chosen by me!! The Bocas Lit Fest is a Trinidad and Tobago based organisation that lifts up literary artists from the Caribbean. I wanted to have this list of books here instead of having to go back to their website when I wanted to reference it and thought that it may be useful to anyone looking for recent releases from Caribbean authors. The winners were: Fiction: Ibis Nonfiction: The Snag: A Mother, a Forest, and Wild Grief Poetry: The World After Rain: Anne’s Poems

All the adult Nature and Conservation books that made it to The Wainwright Prize shortlists in 2025.

Books set on islands or written by native islanders from around the world for the days you want to be surrounded by nothing but waves. Please comment missing books :)
