Attending To: Wonder

Hi everyone,

Today’s the day—it’s release day for Attending Together’s first book discussion episode!

In case you missed it, Attending Together is a new podcast from The Nature of Reading Bookshop, featuring yours truly and my two dear friends/nature lovers/book nerds Katie Crawford and Victoria Russell.

In our first book discussion, we talked about Mary Oliver’s Upstream, a personal favorite of mine and a source of much information for the shop.

We hope you enjoy the episode, and you can find more information for what we talked about below. And as always we’d love for you to tell us what you’ve been attending to by commenting on this post or replying to the email.

All the best,

Hailey
