  1. Why Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Deserves a True Sequel.

    Some stories stay with us long after we've turned the final page. For me, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is one of those rare books. While it brought the series to a satisfying conclusion, I've often wondered what became of Harry, Hermione, Ron, and the rest of the wizarding world. In this post, I share why I believe this beloved novel deserves a true sequel and why some stories never really end.

  5. Virtual Event - #BookDiscussion of โ€œThe #Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural Worldโ€

    February 12 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

    "Join us for a virtual book discussion of 'The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World,' by #RobinWallKimmerer.

    Free. Registration Required."

    About the author:
    "As Indigenous scientist and author of #BraidingSweetgrass Robin Wall Kimmerer harvests serviceberries alongside the birds, she considers the ethic of reciprocity that lies at the heart of the gift economy. How, she asks, can we learn from #IndigenousWisdom and the plant world to #reimagine what we value most? Our economy is rooted in scarcity, competition, and the hoarding of resources, and we have surrendered our values to a system that actively harms what we love. Meanwhile, the serviceberryโ€™s relationship with the natural world is an embodiment of reciprocity, #interconnectedness, and gratitude. The tree distributes its wealthโ€”its abundance of sweet, juicy berriesโ€”to meet the needs of its natural community. And this distribution ensures its own survival. As Kimmerer explains, 'Serviceberries show us another model, one based upon reciprocity, where wealth comes from the quality of your relationships, not from the illusion of self-sufficiency.' "
