What’s your favourite book? And have you ever taken it for a walk?

In the latest edition of The Writer’s Walk I share an experiment I’ve been trying over the last couple of years to see which types of books boost my walks and inspiration, and which ones bog me down.

Here are a just a few of my sources of inspiration:

The Poetry Pharmacy in York, which has a shelf dedicated to books on walking cures

Lemn Sissay’s let the light pour in – a lovely and hopeful book of short poems that are perfect for dipping into on a walk
@sissaylemn

Annabel Streets’ The Walking Cure, which explores the curative effects of walking in different landscapes
@annabelabbs

The 2026 Seasonal Almanac by Lia Leendertz which is transforming my knowledge and appreciation of the seasons
@lia_leendertz

A Philosopy of Walking by Frédéric Gros, which is helping me think about my walking practice by learning about what walking meant to writers and philosophers

Essentials by David Whyte, and reading poems that relate to the landscape I’m walking in, which is a particularly powerful experience

Democrat Keisha Lance Bottoms won the Georgia governor’s race, the Associated Press said. She is the first Black woman to be elected governor in U.S. history.⁠ ⁠ With 75% of the vote counted, Bottoms, a former Atlanta mayor who later worked in Joe Biden’s White House, had 55.4% of the vote, to 44.6% for Republican Rick Jackson.⁠ ⁠ Bottoms, 56, ran a campaign focused on rising costs. She promised that she would stand up to President Trump and work to expand Medicaid in Georgia. She slammed Republican Rick Jackson, 72, for praising Trump during the Republican primary, during which Jackson at one point said he wanted to be Trump’s favorite governor.⁠ ⁠ Democrats are off to a strong start in the midterm election, flipping their first Senate seat of the night in North Carolina and holding seats in Georgia and New Hampshire. Democratic incumbent Sen. Jon Ossoff, one of President Trump’s most vocal critics, defeated Republican challenger Mike Collins in Georgia.⁠ ⁠ Read more at the link in our bio.⁠ ⁠ Photo: Robin Rayne/ZUMA Press
