For #EarthDay , we asked you to tell us about the #nature booksyou have loved over the years & WOW! We are thrilled to share your stories thru the day!
We begin with Editor Scissorhands @bijal_v (who gave us the idea for this #thread) reading us some delightful kid-lit (1/n)

From the sleepy #loris to gentle #elephants... let's hear from @dincy_mariyam, a PhD student at @cwsindia, whose recommended #NatureReading is a witty and hilarious incredible #memoir by an ecologist. #EarthDay

Ever wondered where @thetoonguy gets inspiration for his brilliant Green Humour #comic strips? Rohan Chakravarty is here to tell us, ready with some of his favourite paperbacks!

(On an unrelated note, we wonder what Green Humour's policy on sharing books is?) #EarthDay

A suspenseful thriller, incredibly relevant to #corona times... what #book is ecologist @anishafishtoe finding hard to put down?

P.S. We're going to discuss this one at the end of the month at @ReadingNature - do pop by for the chat! #EarthDay

When not guiding #shore walks with @MLOMumbai, writer @SejalMehta06 can't help but dip her foot () in many genres - some literary #SciComm, a little #natural history - here's what her #EarthDayReading looks like
#EarthDay

And moving towards land (but not all the way...), Priya Ranganathan, a wetland ecologist at @atree_org reminds us of why #mangrove ecosystems deserve our attention with her recommended read for #EarthDay

The lovely @nehaa_sinha has been sharing stories and
about the #birds of #Delhi for years (oh yes, we recommend following her...) and of course, her #EarthDay #reading tells all about the books that inspire her to observe #biodiversity around her!

Aaand we're back with more!
Joining the chat is writer @leftofwrite, covering an impressing range including 'The Loras' by Dr Seuss—a title she regularly recommends to her postgrad students !
Three cheers for teachers bringing environmentalism into classrooms #EarthDay

Short story writer @Jyothi_Vinod70 has pored through some environmental #fiction this year - 'Float' by JoeAnn Hart and 'Where the Crawdads Sing' by Dalia Owens...

We'll let you hear her out, while we aggressively scribble on our TBR lists! #EarthDay

Primates and #elephants and #otters (oh my!) Come for the #book recommendations, stay for @Ishikamacaca 's lovely paperback show-and-tell, peppered with illustrations and comics. (1/2)
#EarthDay

All these books warranted another tweet @Ishikamacaca
:-) (2/2)

Cara Tejpal, who heads the @SanctuaryAsia Mud on Boots project, covers a impressive range of genres with her hefty stack of #nature books, with choicest eco- #fiction, Indian #wildlife history - more in the next tweet!
#EarthDay (1/2)

...some science fiction, words on animal #intimacies, and did we spot some apocalypse talk? Whew!

Folks, how are all your to-be-read lists faring today? Ours are through the roof! #EarthDay2020

This seems like a good time to pop in a (not so) quick word from one of your two hosts at @ReadingNature, @VaishaliRawat :-) (1/3)

#EarthDay #NatureReading #DouglasAdams

Many of these books were collected from quaint bookstores with so much character. Could you guess which ones are signed copies? (2/3)

Speaking of hosts... yours truly (there's two!) @prernabindra is here too walk us through her current nature #reading list!
