Absolutely loved this book! The writing is excellent, and the illustrations really add to the story. I gave it a reread having watched the new Frankenstein, and the depth of this book has me in a chokehold.

Love this quirky little book about our planet! The essays are fun, and as someone who enjoys John Green’s writing, it’s cool to get to hear more about him (also got a little too excited to learn John Green and I drive the same car lol).
The Anthropocene Reviewed by John Green
Self-Help
Great read for those who have ADHD, or knows someone who has ADHD, or just wants to better understand how it!
The ADHD Field Guide for Adults by Cate Osborn & Erik Gude
