lunababymoonchild Posted October 4 Author Posted October 4 The only thing I can come up with is : the natural world Quote
Hayley Posted October 4 Posted October 4 Ooooh, I love both of those ideas! I think I'm going to have to second The Natural World. Mainly because 'first book in a new series' sounds perfect for the new year! 2 Quote
Madeleine Posted October 5 Posted October 5 Good idea, I'm happy to go with first book for the next read ie New Year. Quote
lunababymoonchild Posted October 5 Author Posted October 5 The Natural World it is. By Natural World I mean you can read Brer Rabbit if you want. Or The Jungle Book etc. However you want to interpret it. Quote
lunababymoonchild Posted October 5 Author Posted October 5 Currently reading The Wind in the Willows, Kenneth Grahame (because I’ve never read it and I forgot that I had it) 2 Quote

Hayley Posted yesterday at 04:39 PM Posted yesterday at 04:39 PM I'm struggling to think of what to read for this one! I might go for The Mercies, which I believe is based on the true story of a terrible storm and its consequences. Quote

I might go for The Mercies, which I believe is based on the true story of a terrible storm and its consequences. Why not? I have a Tarka the Otter omnibus and a James Herriot omnibus that I have my eye on - and no, that’s not why I chose the category 🙂 I read James Herriot as a teenager. They will have to go some to beat The Wind in the Willows, though. I am also considering Watership Down. 1 Quote
poppy Posted 16 hours ago Posted 16 hours ago Another suggestion is My Family and Other Animals by Gerald Durrell or one of his other animal books. Quote
Madeleine Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago I can't think of anything for this category either. Quote
France Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago Can I suggest Raising Hare by Chloe Dalton (which I read before this topic started). It's a wonderful account of how the author found a very young leveret and raised it, always aware that it was a wild animal and should not be a pet. It's one of those books that stays with you. 1 Quote
