April 24th: Horse: a Novel, by Geraldine Brooks (2022)
A record-breaking Civil War-era thoroughbred is the basis for this story, along with the people who cared for him, artists who painted him, and scientists who studied his bones. Brooks takes us from the racing world of the 1850s, to the art scene in the 1950s, and to labs of the present-day Smithsonian in this story of spirit, obsession, and injustice across decades.
May 22nd: Birding to Change the World: a Memoir, by Trish O’Kane (2024)
After Hurricane Katrina destroyed O’Kane’s home, she was inspired by the birds around her to pursue an environmental studies PhD. She soon became a devoted birdwatcher, filling notebooks with bird activities, teaching classes in ornithology, and organizing a murmuration of nature lovers to save the birds’ homes in their neighborhood park. This memoir shows how birds can renew our joy in nature and perhaps transform our lives.
