I read six books in August. Three physical books and three audiobooks. August was a month of unique reads but I enjoyed most of them. I‘ll consider that a success.

pickI don't usually pick up books about the environment, but this was a fascinating look at our changing oceans.
A thanks to the Women's Prize for NF as I wouldn't have picked it up otherwise!
...efforts are already underway to clean up the plastic debris floating in the ocean. The Ocean Cleanup, a nonprofit organisation, was founded in 2013 by a then-teenage entrepreneur, Boylan Slat, from the Netherlands. Outraged by disastrous plastic pollution... began sending out ships towing U-shaped barriers to skim floating plastic from the infamous Great Pacific Garbage Patch....

#Falling #Wildlife my mom loved Hummingbirds. The great thing about birds in general even if you live in a dense city , you will interact with birds. This book looks good , spotted it while browsing the local Barnes & Noble. Bird books in general make me remember that mom loved to maintain hummingbird feeding stations, seed feeders for other types of birds .
Elsewhere, coral species are gathered up, and their cells, sperm, and eggs are frozen. It's a similar scheme to seed banks, which aim to preserve all the world's plants, so people in the future can use them to breed the crops they need or replant species that are lost from the wild. Coral DNA is also being sequenced and archived to preserve the genetic codes that would be lost forever if those species went extinct.
18 books for August. It‘s really hard to choose between Rooted and Gentle as my favorite this month.

I started this on the plane, got distracted by Remarkably Bright Creatures and then picked it up again on the flight back today. Every time I open it, I'm completely immersed. It's late afternoon/early evening but there isn't anyone who can tell me it's too early to be in bed with my book.
