The Field Guide to Dumb Birds of North America by Matt Kracht
The first time I saw this, I showed the most passionate birder I had ever met and she laughed out loud which makes me think it's a pretty solid birding book for professionals and hobbyists alike. Or anyone who has a good sense of humor. Revel in the beautiful blues of the White-breasted Butt Nugget or the majestic Pooper's Hawk. #bwiab @mkracht

They Bloom at Night by Trang Thanh Tran
Nearly two years after a disastrous hurricane, 17-year-old Vietnamese American, Noon ekes out a living as a shrimp trawler amidst severe flooding and a dangerous red algae bloom that is mutating the local wildlife. @nvtran_ 's writing is immersive and atmospheric; they cleverly incorporate elements of mystery, eco-horror, and body horror to explore Noon's heritage, grief, trauma, and queer identity.

Birds Aren't Real by Peter McIndoe & Connor Gaydos
In a time when conspiracy theories are rarely vetted and seeking knowledge has been tainted by similarly unvetted AI, Birds Aren't Real may or may not be a satire. Or, it may be the most important treatise on surveillance tactics ever to grace our generation. That'll be for you to decide. @birdsarentreal@peterdotnet@connorgaydos
