"I reckon if we worked at it hard, every morning, say, we worked on your stroke, before I went to work, before you went to college, out to the raft here and back while the raft is out, every day we'd do it, rain or shine, till you find your feet, or your fins I should say, I reckon come Easter next we'd swim out there together, and I'll show you the place and you'd know, I don't know, what I meant like" #booksbythesea #somethingforsept #easter1916

#somethingforsept #septemberphotochallenge #booksbythesea

Treasure Island and Peter Pan are two of my favourite classic children's books, and are set at least partly on the sea... ☺️

The Great Deluge | Douglas Brinkley

My #booksbythesea choice today is this fantastic read on the horrors of Hurricane Katrina. Some of the tragedies are caused by nature, some are caused by human folly, but all of them will break your heart. #somethingforsept #septphotochallenge

bookishkai My partner was heartbroken by this book; she was a federal employee who volunteered for a 30 day detail to Louisiana after Katrina. She ended up in Lake Charles after Rita, but the devastation she saw during her few days in New Orleans has stayed with her all these years. 8y
BeththeBookDragon Have you read Five Days at Memorial? 8y
Skyler @bookishkris I can't even imagine what it must have been like to witness all that firsthand. Good for her for stepping up to help out though. 8y
Skyler @bethfriedman906 I haven't yet, but I've heard it's great! 8y
BeththeBookDragon @Skyler It's a tough one. But well worth reading. 8y

The Word Exchange: Anglo-Saxon Poems in Translation | Seamus Heaney, Greg Delanty, Michael Matto
post image

Coming up from a writing/world building marathon to do #booksbythesea on #somethingforsept ! A couple of these I need to return to, because they are relevant to said world building, and this is my school copy of Moby Dick. And Word Exchange, which I haven't finished, is a great volume of old old old school poetry.

Shortstack All of these books by the sea today are getting me psyched to spend Christmas in Florida! 8y
Marchpane I have a newer edition of The Fatal Shore with a different tagline. The reference to 'founding' has been removed in favour of "A History of the Transportation of Convicts to Australia, 1787-1868". I wonder if the text has also been revised. 8y

@RealLifeReading #booksbythesea #somethingforsept #septphotochallenge Mostly in the sea, but some scenes are by the sea too. Determined to finish this by the end of the month. Easier reads keep pulling my attention away and I've been reading this for months.
