November gives us the last few weeks of autumn as the weather gets cooler and the leaves fall. It’s also the best time to go outside on walks and enjoy nature. With that in mind, here are the best books to read outside before the weather gets too cold.
This month’s fiction book is called Weyward by Emilia Hart. Told from three different perspectives across several different time periods, the story centers around each character’s relationship with nature and magic. Kate lives in the 21st century and searches for clues around a forest cottage that she inherited. Violet lives in the 20th century and tries to find a connection to her mother in her family’s estate. Altha lives in the 16th century and tries to avoid the danger associated with being different while hiding the magic she possesses. All three stories are packed with adventure, mystery, and of course, magic.
This month’s nonfiction book is How to Read the Wilderness by the Nature Study Guild. If you’re going out on a hike, this book is the perfect companion. Packed with illustrations of the natural world, it’s easy to use the book to recognize different kinds of plants, trees, flowers, and animals. The world and its climate is changing constantly, so reading this book can help you learn more about nature so you can help ensure that our world stays healthy.
Happy November and happy reading!
