As spring renews the world around us, we’re doing the same and adding new titles to our ever-evolving reading list. This spring reading list is inspired by ideas of new beginnings and fostering a deeper connection with each other and the planet.
A Read For Warm Spring Days
The Book of Goose
Taking place against the backdrop of the French and English countryside, The Book of Goose is a captivating tale of two friends who spent their childhood outside together. Breathe in the fresh air as you read this novel outdoors on a park bench or in the garden.
About the Book
Fabienne is dead. Her childhood best friend, Agnès, receives the news in America, far from the French countryside where the two girls were raised—the place that Fabienne helped Agnès escape ten years ago. Now, Agnès is free to tell her story.
As children in a war-ravaged, backwater town, they’d built a private world, invisible to everyone but themselves—until Fabienne hatched the plan that would change everything, launching Agnès on an epic trajectory through fame, fortune, and terrible loss.
A Read For People and Planet
The Intersectional Environmentalist
Regardless of the season, we’re always on the lookout for books that can enlighten us on what we can do to protect the planet and those who inhabit it. If you’re like us, we highly recommend picking up The Intersectional Environmentalist by Leah Thomas (@greengirlleah) for an approachable and inclusive climate read.
About the Book
The Intersectional Environmentalist is an introduction to the intersection between environmentalism, racism, and privilege and an acknowledgment of the fundamental truth that we cannot save the planet without uplifting the voices of its people — especially those most often unheard. This book is simultaneously a call to action, a guide to instigating change for all, and a pledge to work towards the empowerment of all people and the betterment of the planet.
A Read For Spring Breakers and Staycationers
Tangerine
For us, any vacation or staycation read should be quick and captivating; a novel you can’t put down until it’s finished. Whether you’re heading out of town or enjoying a quiet weekend at home, we recommend Tangerine for an engaging page-turner set in an exotic location.
About the Book
The last person Alice Shipley expected to see when she arrived in Tangier with her new husband was Lucy Mason. After the horrific accident at Bennington, the two friends – once inseparable roommates – haven’t spoken in over a year. But Lucy is standing there, trying to make things right. But soon, a familiar feeling starts to overtake Alice – she feels controlled and stifled by Lucy at every turn. Then Alice’s husband, John, goes missing, and she starts questioning everything around her…
