Among my many, many interests is a deep fascination with plants. I adore the little buggers- I have a bushel of Ground Cherries growing in a pot right under my computer desk, because I'm that much of a plant geek. I should have been an ethnobotanist, but instead, I developed a fondness for researching plant-based medicines. These are my favourite books on the subject. My herbal library is huge, so this will be a long and constantly evolving list!Disclaimer: I am not a certified herbalist, nor a doctor, and nothing in these books should be taken as medical advice from me. Always consult a doctor before making any decisions about your healthcare.

I probably should organize these better but for now, here is a collection of my favorite series. I do read a lot of series but I prefer the ones that can stand alone; doesn't stop me from reading the ones that need to be in order to get though lol.

Must-Have Items for Every Reader’s Collection

My favorite books that I read on repeat! I love all books on money, self improvement and mindset!

I was an avid reader in my public school days, but now I find myself reading for work or school more often than not. Some of these books are helpful or great conversation starters, my hope is to also add books that have brought me joy or an escape in my life. Reading can be life changing, and the dissemination of information through books and media keeps us informed. Read banned books my friends. No source of control wants its subjects to learn things that give them the idea that they should be free of thought and action.

More often than not we just read the books in school, but sometimes when the teacher needed a break, we'd get to see the movie as well. Do you remember watching the movie or reading the book?

I read everything from Shakespeare to Vonnegut and everything in between.

It’s not super well known but for every animated Dreamworks & Pixar movie they create a book to visually convey how they created their movies. These are those books.
