So here I am again, waiting for a hurricane and sitting in bed listening to the rain and reading. Here‘s my hurricane-waiting reading. I hope to finish Cultish today and at least get started on The Personal Librarian and The Sound of the Sea. Our 37th anniversary is Tuesday, and it seems like nature often sees fit to send us hurricanes for anniversary gifts. I wish it would stop doing so!

Jas16 I hope that you stay safe. 3y
MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm That‘s very rude of nature! In all seriousness, I hope you stay safe and can ride out the storm without any damage. ❤️ 3y
KathyWheeler @Jas16 Thank you. So far, it looks like all were going to get is even more rain than usual, thunderstorms, and flash flooding. 3y

KathyWheeler @MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm Very rude! 😄 Thanks. 3y
Reggie I hope your‘e doing ok, Kathy. And that the worst thing that happens is you get annoyed by some characters in a book. 3y
KathyWheeler @Reggie That made me laugh. 😄. So far we‘re fine. Tomorrow we‘re supposed to get a lot of potential tornados, which I hate. 3y

This book about shells is really more a book about humans and our relation to shells. Rather than a single narrative, it is closer to a series of essays tightly held around the theme of shells and exploring history, anthropology, and science. Once I recognized the essay-like format, I liked it a lot, but struggled a bit before that. Really interesting!

TheAromaofBooks Oh this sounds a little like another book I loved 3y
Hooked_on_books @TheAromaofBooks That one gets referenced several times in this one! 3y
Centique What amazing shells you have too! 3y
Hooked_on_books @Centique Thanks! The previous owner of my house left them behind. I‘d love to know more about them, but I‘ll never quite know where they came from. 3y

While I tend not to be pro-assassination, this is nonetheless a pretty brilliant idea. (“The queens” refers to the Queen conch.)

For many this book might seem dry, but I personally loved it. It was full of so much fascinating information about seashells and their use in our history, both past and present.

I took my time reading this one so that I could absorb all the well-researched details. However, if the ocean and seashells do not interest you, this one might not be for you.

Now that I‘m “homeschooling” and libraries are closed I feel like I need to bulk up the nonfiction section of our home library. I actually learned a few things from this one 🙃 Any suggestions for ages 3 and 6?

BookishMe Hopefully one of the gazillion lists in the link will help? 😉😉 https://www.pragmaticmom.com/booklists/ 5y
BookishMe I think i used this to teach graphs 5y
Mtroiano Thank you! @BookishMe 5y
BookishMe Bear Hunt for prepositions, Hungry Caterpillar for any suitable Science topic ;)) these are at top of my mind, for now ;D 5y
BookishMe My pleasure. Oh, last one - Inch by Inch. Any book by Leo Lionni can be turned into a fun lesson imo. Happy learning with your little ones ;)) 5y

#SongsOfSummer Day 17: Fays‘ review: “Alice loved being in Sanibel Island (where it is #BrighterThanTheSun) not only for the shells, but also for the people she‘d be spending her birthday with. Junonia is more than just the beautiful description of the beach. It is a story about growing up and finding oneself. It is a story of every ten-year-old. It is a story of you and me.” Her review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-4Vs

OriginalCyn620 Love that cover! ❤️ 5y
