I'm just finishing Wonderland, A Year of Britain's Wildlife Day By Day, by Brett Westwood and Stephen Moss, which has 366 short but well written essays on 366 different species it's possible to see in the UK.
Recently finished The Meteorites by Helen Gordon, which is a book of journalistic style essays about human interactions with meteorites.
I've also recently read a poetry collection so I'll probably switch to fiction next.
And for some reason I'm recalling how much I enjoyed the novel Ways of Dying, by Zakes Mda, which begins in a village that is probably in a fictionalised Lesotho.
And if anyone's looking for inspiration for trans-related books then from my recent reading I can rec:
I Shall Never Fall in Love, by Hari Conner, which is a cute historical romance comic (teen / ya), and
author Isabel Waidner who writes experimental fiction (the latest Corey Fah Does Social Mobility is relatively conventional time loop science fiction and the most readable for most people), and
LOTE, by Shola von Reinhold, which is a philosophical literary novel musing about marginalised people's relationships with mainstream history/archiving and artistic canons.
