WELLBEING | Brilliant Nature, Travel & Folklore Books To Inspire Your Outdoor Adventures in 2025
I love a good book and often pick up recommendations from the most unlikely of places. I’ve usually got 3 or 4 books on the go at any one time and always take a book away with me on camping trips. Recently I’ve read some brilliant books from some incredible authors, so I thought I’d share them with you.
Updated for 2025, the following reading list contains books I have read and loved and some I am yet to read, so I hope this selection will prove inspiring to you!
My current reading list is predominantly Witchy, gothic horror and dystopian in nature, but if that’s your thing, why not give me a follow on Goodreads?
