My #NonFiction2019 Bingo Card is finally filled 😁 I had a great time doing this challenge. @Riveted_Reader_Melissa
Sunday reading.
Usually Sunday means work for me, but with the triple digit heat here in Texas we decided to take a day off. So I'm enjoying a lazy Sunday reading in bed, and our new little kitty Charlie is desperately trying to get his big brother Pip to play with him. 😻

The book I'm reading is fascinating too. So much history and science all melded together in a tale of human persistence and nature's survival.
pickWow. This is a sobering read of the type that changes you for the better after the last page is absorbed. Epic in scope, it provides context both culturally and from a natural history perspective about a huge area that shaped the United States yet seldom gets talked. It was a shock to read numerous instances where my hometown was a player, for better and for worse, in historical events. In short, I cried but I loved it. #naturalhistory
But first, my plane read on the way to Denver. #naturalhistory
pickA terrific look at the American aspects of the Gulf of Mexico, from human history to natural history, with a bit of geology and a heavy dose of environmentalism. My only complaint is the complete absence of exploration of Mexico‘s interaction with and impact on the Gulf.

pickThis hefty tome deals with how people from the United States fell in love with the flora, fauna, and landscape of the Gulf of Mexico, started moving there in droves, and decided to tame it. It is about ecological and geological havocs wreaked and the attempt to save what was inexorably altered. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This chapter is about how the areas of Florida I‘ve come to know and love were built. The disregard that people have for nature never ceases to amaze me. 🙁
#TBRtemptation post 9! A Pulitzer Prize-winning work. This is the first comprehensive history of the "American Sea", the Gulf of Mexico. From the Pleistocene through today, you'll meet its wildlife, its shorelines, its characters. From the natives to New Englanders, presidents to the Tabasco king, it's a riveting on-going story. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook ?
pickDoing some personal research during a slow day at my NEW JOB! GulfQuest National Maritime Museum of the Gulf of Mexico. Photobomb by hurricane Katrina. Jump over to my Instagram (same handle) for a time lapse of hurricane season 2005.
#TBRTemptation I know I would listen to the audiobook in a heartbeat, but it's a pretty hefty book and I'm afraid of the commitment. #SoManyBooksSoLittleTime
Learning so much about the Gulf of Mexico from its formation to overfishing and overhunting in the 19th and 20th centuries. Definitely recommend checking this one out in March
