Beautiful and interesting and a great gift for hard to buy for people

Around the World in 80 Trees by Jonathan Drori

December 5, 2022 by Wanderlustful 2 Comments

I adored this book. I initially bought it as a father’s day gift because the illustrations were so beautiful (and it looked up my Dad’s alley) but once he was done I stole it to read for myself. It IS beautifully illustrated and also quirky and interesting. I read it slowly over months so that I could absorb more info (4 trees a day), and together with my morning coffee it became this lovely morning ritual. The book is divided into continents and has plucked […]

Around the world redux. This time, plants!

CBR11bingo: Not My Wheelhouse BINGO, diagonally: Cannonballer Says, Not My Wheelhouse, Own Voices, Illustrated, Reading the TBR I may have been called a tree hugger in my day, but botany has never been my area. I can enjoy plants from a purely aesthetic point of view, but reading an entire book dedicated to trees? For my tree fix, I’d prefer to turn to Joyce Kilmer’s 12-line poem and call it a day. But Jonathan Drori’s Around the World in 80 Trees. . . I’m speechless! This […]
