pickI love this book! Sy Montgomery lives the life I should be living! She works with animals and their carers or those who study them and then writes books about her experiences. She‘s written about octopuses, pigs, and a collection of essays, “How to be a Good Creature”. This one is my favorite of hers I‘ve read so far though. These turtles and the people who serve them have my heart! I admire the rescue organizations Sy mentions in the book.
Seeing all of my favorite fiction reads of the year (so far) all together like this just makes me smile.
Making little monthly visuals this year to keep track of what I‘ve read. Definitely got the idea here. 😉

pick“Nothing was different or better and I didn't think I was either, but I didn't mind being alive at the moment.“
On the surface, this is a book about two strangers who come together to free the sea turtles from the London Zoo. But really, that is just a catalyst for a thoughtful story about lonely people discovering their loneliness and perhaps finding a way to be a little less so. A genuine, human, quiet look at connection.

“I'll never cease to be amazed by the fact that people uncomfortable in themselves can give comfort to other people.“
This book is so unendingly quotable.
Photo has nothing to do with the book, just the lovely semi-frozen lake out behind my library from today's lunch break
