Finding the Mother Tree: Discovering the Wisdom of the Forest by Suzanne Simard
The beginning of this book is hard reading... she talks about clear cuts and tree plantations and it just makes me sick to my stomach.
Saturday == 30 pages
Getting better... more info about the helpful fungi, without which we pretty much wouldn't have plants or forests! Also nice that the setting is British Columbia, and so many of the trees and wildlife are familiar to me in western Oregon!
Sunday == 20 pages

I recently finished The Hidden Life of Trees: What They Feel, How They Communicate – Discoveries from a Secret World by Peter Wohlleben. It was very fascinating. Some of it was sad, but mostly intriguing and even inspiring. I really recommend it to anyone even slightly interested in the subject.

Updated message #24 total of 433 pages --some of the books I am reading are the kinds I like to read more slowly than others, so I put the time in but didn't get the pages I might have.

In the July 2021 Read-a-thon thread you will post your progress, telling everyone what you're reading and how many pages. Then all readers' totals will be tallied throughout the week to reach the goal of 10,000 pages.
This is a relaxed read-a-thon; it doesn't matter if you read 20 pages or 100, it also doesn't matter if we reach our goal, it's just having fun doing what you would normally be doing anyway.
Once the July Read-a-thon thread is posted, make sure to put your name on the thread if you would like to be included. If you simply stumble onto the thread, then please, join in!
*An easy way to keep track is using the Currently Reading feature on Goodreads, entering your page number at the end of each day. **For those who read by eReader, take the page number which shows for paperback/hardcover here on Goodreads for your total. Calculate by percentage to work out your page number read.
***For audio listeners, check out how many pages the book has on Goodreads, then divide that number by how many CDs or hours it is to give you an idea of pages per time. Don't forget to post your totals of daily or full weekend tally on the thread.
