- 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!
- Beneath the Haunting Sea by Joanna Ruth Meyer ~ I remember loving this fantasy years ago and want to revisit this water-based world!
- Emily of New Moon by L.M. Montgomery ~ I’m hopeful about a long-time-overdue reread of this series!
- Anne of the Island by L.M. Montgomery ~ slowly making my way through again! Montgomery is my favorite author, so I’m loving it!
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman ~ gorgeous poetry I want to keep plugging away at!
- 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.
- 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!
Great book list!!

I have read several of Goudge’s books and will seek out Scent of Water. I read H is for Hawk, which is a standout for appreciating nature.

Nature is a great word to showcase this week. My husband and I have loved getting back into nature once spring finally settled in, LOL. Have a great week!

Anne of the Island is one of my all time faves. It was such a comfort read for me when I was young and I revisited the Anne series recently and loved it just as much as an adult.

It’s a trilogy! I really enjoy it! It’s a wee darker than the Anne series, but with a charm of its own. ♥️
