If you love books aboout the natural world, I highly recommend Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer. The author has created a beautiful blend of objective science and ancient indigenous wisdom. This book can definitely leave a lasting impact.

Quite: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking by Susan Cain The cover is interesting. It is a frosted gray color and the word "Quiet" is in red lettering. The frosted gray color gives the cover an opaque look, and it looks like the gray color is covering something that you can't quite see.
