Joining That Artsy Reader Girl
  1. Is A River Alive by Robert MacFarlane ~ MacFarlane is a beautiful nature writer and poet. He tells the story of three? major rivers interspersed with stories of a small river that he has a personal connection with!
  2. Beneath the Haunting Sea by Joanna Ruth Meyer ~ I remember loving this fantasy years ago and want to revisit this water-based world!
  3. Emily of New Moon by L.M. Montgomery ~ I’m hopeful about a long-time-overdue reread of this series!
  4. Anne of the Island by L.M. Montgomery ~ slowly making my way through again! Montgomery is my favorite author, so I’m loving it!
  5. Sisters of the Earth edited by Lorraine Anderson ~ I’ve been interested in this nonfiction collection from my shelves for awhile! It’s a collection of prose and poetry about nature by various women writers.
  6. The Scent of Water by Elizabeth Goudge ~ another reread that I’m craving. A older career woman gets a fresh start when an aunt bequeaths her a country cottage.
  7. Into the Heartless Wood by Joanna Ruth Meyer ~ another beautifully written Meyer reread! I really love her atmospheric fantasy! I remember enjoying the tree spirits etc.
  8. Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman ~ gorgeous poetry I want to keep plugging away at!
  9. The Big Fisherman by Lloyd C. Douglas ~ I so enjoyed The Robe earlier this year and want to try this Biblical Historical Fiction about the Apostle Peter by Douglas as well.
  10. As Kingfishers Catch Fire by Eugene Peterson ~ nonfiction collection of thoughtful and inspiring sermons by Peterson. He was a wonderful writer/speaker.

Have you read any of these? Do you have a favorite nature-themed read? I’d love to hear!

    1. Oh wow! You must be very northern! I’m in Wisconsin so it’s been cooler here , too, until about 3? weeks ago, the heat kicked in, but I’m loving it! ♥️🥰I don’t like the loooong winters here!

      1. Yes, near Cleveland, OH. We had the opportunity to visit Wisconsin a few years ago and loved it! We want to get back over to the Wisconsin Dells area again, soonish!
