Cool. I read her Midnight Never Come, which I enjoyed, but I lost track of her after that for some reason. She’s a good writer as I recall. I’m going to have to check out this list.

Currently on holiday and reading Lucy Cooke’s Bitch. She debunks a whole heap of gender stereotypes and uses examples from all around the animal kingdom. A fun read.

I loved that.
I give all my women friends a copy of Paddling North by Audrey Sutherland on their 50th birthday. It’s Audrey’s memoirs of her paddle of the Alaskan Inside Passage that she undertook for the first time at the age of 60, a trip she would recreate for the next 20 years.

What book is your favorite?
I will start first: my favorite book is The Hidden Life Of Trees by
Peter Wohlleben. I like it because it is thought-provoking, and I feel like the world would be a better place if more people read books like it.

The Curious World of Bugs by Daniel Marlos, for people into entomology
And while it’s not a nature-focused book, Cosmos by Carl Sagan has a great chapter on the evolution of life (it’s chapter 2, One Voice in the Cosmic Fugue). I haven’t read Cosmos in a year or two but I remember that chapter being very good for anyone interested in nature. Sagan is one of my favorite authors (and people) ever.
