pick50 must do adventures for each of the 50 states!
This was just as gorgeous as Siber‘s other book. Lovely bright colors, a diverse array of people portrayed, and in depth explanations of beautiful and unique experiences in every state. Also loved the recognition for various Native tribes that used to live, and still live today in different areas. The nibling loved reading this one to me! 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗
Timely question. Like so many others, I am in a season of life with a flurry of mental & physical Post-it notes.
This is the weekend I'm proud to live in Pistoia! It's time for Dialoghi di Pistoia: three days of conferences, lectures and shows, a cultural festival dedicated to anthropology (and many others disciplines)..
I've got tickets for one event on Friday (the one in the picture, with Stefano Mancuso) and then four on Saturday!! 🎉🥰🤓
(I'll post some pictures, but you can follow the official page of the event on instagram for everything else 📷)
“We are gentle with the toads. They are soft as a great-grandmother you can hold in your hand.”
pickAn eco-travel memoir in which the author visits awe-inspiring places in nature around the globe. From Catatumbo lightning in Venezuela to the great migration in Tanzania, these spectacular sights are enthusiastically described by the author, on her quest to see the “phenomenal”. This book really made me itch to get out there and see some things, notably the monarch migration in Mexico 😭 ♥️ 🦋.
pickGot this one finished over the weekend. Enjoyed learning more about snails in this thoughtful account. I rate it 4 out of 5. One of my favorite aspects were the little black and white snail illustrations near the bottom of each page. The quotes from famous authors were also a nice touch. Recommended for fans of Robin Wall Kimmerer.
pickI read this last year and loved it. Just did a re-read for book club and it‘s even better than I remembered. Fascinating nature writing combined with personal memoir. She draws such brilliant parallels between the sea animals‘ lives and her own. An incredible book.

I'm afraid I had some strong flashbacks to homeopathic type health/self help books I've encountered where there's SOME evidence, but also “is said to“ and “is used for“, which feels like skirting the lack of evidence. I think it's present in the public consciousness that nature is good for us; I don't know that this book convinced me of anything I was not aware of before. 🤷🏼♂️ Pleasant narrator.
