I’ve written several blog posts about this topic in the past and am trying not to repeat myself too often, so this time I will be focusing on nonfiction books about animals and nature. Those are two things I love to read about.
Yes, I know that I mentioned “A Short History of the World According to Sheep” in a Top Ten Tuesday post last month, but it belongs to this theme as well.
These were all solid reads that I’d recommend to anyone who enjoys books on these topics.
1. Raising Hare by Chloe Dalton
2. A Short History of the World According to Sheep by Sally Coulthard
3. The Book of the Earthworm by Sally Coulthard
4. Monarchs of the Sea: The Extraordinary 500-Million-Year History of Cephalopods by Danna Staaf
5. Mycelium Running: How Mushrooms Can Help Save the World by Paul Stamets
Ooh, hadn’t hard of Mycelium Running!
My range of interests was too broad for this week’s topic unless I spent a LOT of time curating a list on human flourishing, and I’m in grad school with a full time job. Ain’t nobody got time for that… XD
That is perfectly understandable. 🙂
What a great topic, Lydia. Monarchs of the Sea sounds especially interesting. Thanks for sharing.
You’re very welcome!
I am on the waiting list for Raising Hare, and I want to read Monarchs of the Sea because of Remarkably Bright Creatures.
These are all everybody-should-read-these titles.
May you enjoy them both!
I’d want to read about the history of sheep.
I think you’d like it!
