SUMMARY:NH Audubon Third Quarter Book Club Meeting - Forest Euphoria: The Abounding Queerness of Nature by Patricia Ononiwu Kaishian
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the 2026 third quarter NH Audubon book club book discussion via Zoom of Forest Euphoria. In this national bestseller published in 2025\, author Patricia Ononiwu Kaishian shows us the making of a scientist and introduces readers to the queerness of all the life around us. A child who frequently felt out of place\, too much of one thing or not enough of another\, she found acceptance in these settings\, among other amphibious beings. In snakes\, snails\, and\, above all\, fungi\, she saw her own developing identities as a queer\, neurodivergent person reflected back at her—and in them\, too\, she found a personal path to a life of science. The meeting\, facilitated by Community Outreach Coordinator Anita Fernandez\, will focus on themes\, reactions\, and takeaways from this book. \nPurchase this title through NH Audubon’s Nature Stores (at the Massabesic or McLane Center) and mention the book club to receive a 10% discount. If you purchase all four 2026 book club books\, you will receive an even larger discount. You can also purchase this title online at https://nh-audubon-nature-store.myshopify.com/products/forest-euphoria. \nThe other book club books and their meeting dates are as follows: \n\nMarch 12\, 2026 – Everyone’s Trash: One Man Against 1.6 Billion Pounds by Duncan Watson\nMay 14\, 2026 – The Feather Detective: Mystery\, Mayhem\, and the Magnificent Life of Roxie Laybourne by Chris Sweeney\nNovember 12\, 2026 – Rebugging the Planet: The Remarkable Things that Insects (and Other Invertebrates) Do And Why We Need to Love Them More by Vicki Hird\n\nPlease RSVP below and you will receive the Zoom link and a list of discussion questions before the meeting.
