Reader’s Note
7 out of 10
one essay at a time, always at the end of a shift, never more. it slowed my heart rate right down and I do mean literally. some of them I loved, some I couldn't get into at all and I stopped pretending

Slow and kind. I put it down for a month and it didn't mind. The sweetgrass chapter I read twice.8 out of 10@saltmarsh

Generous, patient, a little repetitive; I forgave it by the second section.9 out of 10@mossandink
Braiding Sweetgrass reviewed by @dnf_diaries
Read over about a year, forty pages at a time, which is the correct dose. Seven. The pecan chapter is the one.7 out of 10@dnf_diaries
