Planta Sapiens: The New Science of Plant Intelligence by Natalie Lawrence, Paco Calvo

informative inspiring reflective relaxing medium-paced

*read the audiobook*

I went into this book mostly blind, and I was not expecting such a poetic and philosophical read. This was equal parts beautiful and informative, and really made me reconsider my view on plant life. Would highly recommend.

One Sunny Afternoon: A Memoir of Trauma and Healing by Rowan Jetté Knox

emotional hopeful inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.5

After reading Rowan's first book and learning more about his journey on social media, I knew I had to read this one as well. The personal growth and healing is so clear from book one to book two. So grateful to Rowan for sharing his story, I cannot imagine how difficult that would have been to write and put out into the world. 

Undeniable: Evolution and the Science of Creation by Bill Nye

funny informative lighthearted reflective medium-paced

4.0

Learned a ton, while staying engaged with Nye's humour. I am not a creationist by any means, but this made me think about a lot of things I had not previously considered. Very interesting and informative. (I listened to the audiobook) As a person who spent many hours of their childhood watching Bill Nye The Science Guy, listening to him talk about sex in such a way was equal parts arousing and unsettling.
