Heatwave
Fiction and non-fiction that feels like baking heat, chirping crickets, and the harsh glare of the sun.

Optimistic Non Fiction
Sprinkle a little hope on your world view. This list is filled with non fiction books that emanate positivity and will brighten your beliefs. Doom and gloom dominate our media; that serves a good purpose, which is to warn us all, but I ask you this: after the warning, what's next? Here you'll find books that will make you believe that the Earth and its residents are worth saving, and maybe we are not in a hellscape after all. Life is looking UP! The glass is half full!
Nature Girly
Books about science and the environment that make me feel better about being a woman in STEM
books to feed your existential crisis

I Speak for the Trees
It seems to me that the natural world is the greatest source of excitement; the greatest source of visual beauty; the greatest source of intellectual interest. It is the greatest source of so much in life that makes life worth living. ~Sir David Attenborough
Robert Macfarlane Adventures
Robert Macfarlane is my favorite nature writer, and one of my favorite writers period. I always feel like I go on an adventure of learning and fun and when I read one of his books. Poetic, atmospheric, and informative. I want to read all of his books and I think more people should read his writing.
