Book recommendations from the Biblioracle John Warner tells you what to read based on the last five books you've read. 1. "Between Two Kingdoms" by Suleika Jaouad 2. "Reckoning at Eagle Creek: The Secret Legacy of Coal in the Heartland" by Jeff Biggers 3. "The Frozen River" by Ariel Lawhon 4. "The River is Waiting" by Wally Lamb 5. "Leaving" by Roxana Robinson I think "Morningside Heights" by Joshua Henkin has the close character connection that the submitter is after.
For those on #BookSky a long time, you may remember my 92-year old aunt who’s an avid reader. You may also remember she’s been battling cancer this last year. Even so, she wrote to the Chicago Tribune to get book suggestions. They published her list. She did it digitally on her own. Proud of her!

Excellent natural history
Here on my Mississippi River, thrilled to see Tara Lohan's new book on the wonder of #river restoration . She ranks up with Robert MacFarlane in my literary pantheon. Preorder a copy of her new book!

In these dark days, an inspiring climate preserve movement emerging from the ruins of strip mines gives me reasons to believe--and fight for our forests. Check out my latest from my southern Illinois heroes.
