Robert MacFarlane has a knack for capturing what is most fascinating about the natural world in a way that is both informative and poetic.

If you've ever had a pet, especially a dog, this book is for you.
This book got me hooked. A bit of fantasy, a lot of secrets to uncover, and characters with alluring complexities that unravel over the course of the story.
Cheryl Strayed is honest, funny, and strong, and her personality shines through as she tells of her spontaneous and wild jump into an adventure that she was not completely prepared for but definitely needed. Her memoir is easy to get lost in, and I felt like I grew with every challenging and hopeful experience along with her.
This book, and its characters, are much more than they seem on the surface. The twisting, turning plot moves quickly but leaves plenty of room for suspicions to form and evolve. It was a stay-up-too-late kind of book for me!
Running isn't supposed to be painful? According to Cucuzzella, it can (and should) be relaxing and enjoyable. He offers methods and tips that anyone can benefit from, walkers and runners alike. Since it's broken into practical, short chapters, it's easy to digest and worth a quick read.
