Nature Literature discussion

Hello everyone,

I will be taking nominations for the April Book of the Month on this thread until next Sunday, when the poll will go up. Please try to include a link to the book if you're able.

Thanks,
Becky

And because it's spring and I haven't read it in awhile (but used to read it every year at this time), I'm suggesting My Antonia by Willa Cather.
My Ántonia

Might I suggest Zoologies: On Animals and the Human Spirit, by Alison Hawthorne Deming

How about The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating. It is brief but very lovely! I am new to this forum, so apologies if you've covered this one already.

Hi Katherine and welcome! The group did read that one, but it was a couple of years ago, so I don't blame you for not knowing. LOL

I always go to this thread to check if we've read it before: https://www.goodreads.com/group/books...

Nice to have you here - keep the suggestions coming!
Becky

I'd like to suggest The Discovery of Jeanne Baret: A Story of Science, the High Seas, and the First Woman to Circumnavigate the Globe by Glynis Ridley. It's one of those wonderful non-fiction books that reads like a novel.

I loved this book. It's not my normal go to type of book and it was a refreshing change of pace for me.

I'll nominate The Shepherd's Life by James Rebank. The Shepherd's Life: A People's History of the Lake District. This is a memoir about growing up amidst a magical, storied landscape, of coming of age in the 1980s and 1990s among hills that seem timeless, and yet suffused with history. Broken into the four seasons, the book chronicles the author's daily experiences at work with his flock and brings alive his family and their ancient way of life, which at times can seem irreconcilable with the modern world. The narration on the audiobook is also very good.

Sorry, Joy - the poll is up, so I've stopped taking suggestions for April. Please post again when the May thread comes out - I'll send an email to the group to let you know when that happens.

OK, thanks

Thanks Becky. I don't get onto Goodreads as often as I'd like but I appreciate the welcome and information. I hope to be here more often!
