Welcome to Litsy!

#somethingforsept days 20 & 21: #setbythesea #translated This is the first in the Wallander series. They're all set in Ystad, Sweden which is a coastal town and they're all translated from Swedish to English.

#day20 #somethingforsept #setbythesea I just couldn't let this day pass without a nod to the reason I'll never get in the ocean. 😂

Two of my favorite childhood books are #setbythesea 🐬Island of the Blue Dolphins was required reading in 5th grade. I fell in love & have read it several times. A Candle in Her Room is special because it's the first book I remember my mom handing down to me; she read it when she was young, then gave it to me. I loved reading this story and it's one of the books I have kept with me over the years. Has anyone else read it? #septphotochallenge

I'm a huge fan of Tracy Chevalier. #setbythesea #somethingforsept

This is the story of the only Mexican on board the Titanic. Very tragic 😞🛳 #booksetbythesea #setbythesea #septemberphotochallenge #somethingforsept

#septphotochallenge for today are books #setbythesea and I've chosen Jennifer Donnelly's Waterfire Saga because they're set in the ocean. I first read Deep Blue last year off a teacher bookshelf at random while subbing and was quickly interested in the story. 🐠🐟🐡🐬🐳🐋🌊 #somethingforsept #somethingforseptember

For #setbythesea day I had to go with one of my favorite "summer" authors - Elin Hilderbrand. I own most of her books and I think I love them so much since most of the time I'm stuck in landlocked Iowa/Nebraska. #somethingforsept #septemberphotochallenge @RealLifeReading

This was the first book that came to mind for today's photo challenge. The sea played such a large role in the story. I hear they're making it into a movie now, it's a heartbreaking story! #setbythesea #septphotochallenge

Beautiful watercolor illustrations showing how the male of various underwater species help tend to eggs and babies. Set alongside moby dick - a long take about a whale that I finally read last year. #somethingforsept #septphotochallenge #setbythesea
