The Lost Words discussion

Hi guys - time to nominate for our next read - I still need to catch up on Eating Animals too!

There were already some great nominations from last time so maybe take a look at previous lists or suggest something new. Depending on how many nominations we can either do a poll or figure out between us.

Back soon with my preference :)

Ok I like the sound of The Secret Life of Trees that Claire mentioned I think previously. Should be easy to get hold of. I also like the sound of In Open Country by Rahawa Haile. It's a memoir of walking the Appalachian trail as a black woman. That may be trickier to get a hold of but I'm happy to try.

Any other ideas or thoughts?

Yeah I like the sound of A Secret Life of Trees too. I don't have any other suggestions at the moment.

one that I just spotted is overstory by Richard Powers, sounds really interesting.

Ooo yes, I've heard good things about that.

I've ordered both from the library - will leave this open til Friday for any other ideas and then we can pick from either or both of those

The Secret Life of Trees sounds interesting.

Awesome, sounds like we are on board. I don't think we have enough members to out vote that so let's confirm it.

If anyone fancies Overstory as a buddy read I've ordered that too.

Ok I've just realised I've ben writing the name of the book wrong on here but wrote it right on the last nominations page.
So are we reading The Hidden Life of Trees by Peter Wohlleben?

ah I think that may be my fault. That is the right book though, have ordered it from the library!

Haha thats ok then. Thanks.

I just picked this book up to have another read of the blurb, thought I'd read the foreword because it was really short... I'm in! I think I'm going to really enjoy this book!

Cool! Yeah it seems really interesting. I just finished reading The Overstay and theres a bit in there about a book just like this so its great timing (recommend Overstory btw, happy to make it a main read later if people fancy, I'll still contribute)

I havent got Overstory yet but I do want to read it so I'm happy for it to be a main read at some point.
