What I’m reading January/February 2025

In January I finished the audiobook Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer.  It is so nice to listen to it in audiobook form. Robin’s voice is comforting while learning the science but also Native American wisdom with living with the earth. I have learned giving thanks and giving back to the earth as much as we take, to listen. It is very at peace.

In December or January I started the book Waterlog by Roger Deakin. A book about swimming in various places across the UK. It not only is swimming, but history of the places he visits to swim. I am not very far in, though enough, and it is a fascinating journey. I love swimming. He also references books and such adding to my reading list. I love living vicariously through Roger Deakin.

Just in the mail today I got Cabin Sketches by Nicholas Trandahl. I have some of his books and his poetry is down to earth and comforting. Eventually I will get all his books. I am really looking forward to reading this one! You should follow him on Instagram.

I got the audiobook from the Libby app for Where the Deer and Antelope Play by Nick Offerman. I was just looking for a book I could start right away and I am surprised that is the one that was available. Not mad though. I love nature and look forward to reading his perspective via audiobook, so I guess hearing.
