Welcome to Litsy!

What an incredible read! Patricia Ononiwu Kaishon's book reminds me of Hope Jahren and Robin Wall Kimmerer, all scientists deeply involved in nature and natural science. I learned so much about fungi, and there is still so much to learn. This book teaches that nature is inclusive and it feels like a warm hug. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Didn't like this as much as I hoped I would, got a little bored at times. Should have DNFed!

Hiking in the mountains listening to this book.

The book i wanted to borrow wasn't available, but this was! I love physics so decided to give it a whirl

I loved this more than I can say! A nature-infused memoir is nothing new, but this was more focused on flora and fauna than your average nature memoir. It‘s astounding to realize the differences between the way the world actually is and the way humans think/assume it is. Male vs female, binary thinking isn‘t the way to think of our magnificent world. Features Kaishian‘s lived experiences in personal and professional life along creatures. Read it!

A fun, smart dive into the science of identity and personality. Blends neuroscience, psychology, and humor in a way that‘s both curious and personal. Quirky and thought-provoking.

This beautiful exploration of the essential queerness of nature gave me one of those deliciously transformative reading experiences where it feels like the book‘s in conversation with your life, from a passage about caterpillars‘ imaginal cells, amazing to hear after using the same metamorphic metaphor for my own life recently to a chapter about cicadas and “queering time,” the day after finding a beautiful fresh cicada husk! Euphoria, indeed.

Forest Euphoria was a balm to my bruised and battered soul. Rarely has a book spoken to my heart in a way that made me feel so understood. I‘m already looking forward to rereading this beautiful memoir, this love letter to the earth and all its inhabitants.

Saw this on my BBC feed today and LOVED it! I only have Litsy has my social, but if any of you can spread the word of this adorable kid so that it reaches Sir David himself for his 99th birthday, that would be incredible!
