CoverToCoverGirl What unfolds in this historic account is so unimaginable that it‘s hard to believe it‘s a well documented truth. Truth is really stranger than fiction. 1mo

Wild and Distant Seas: A Novel | Tara Karr Roberts

I was surprised by the negative Kirkus review. I enjoyed this story of four generations of women haunted by losses. Each generation has a gift related to memory and this gift leads them on sometimes foolhardy paths as they seek to find answers about a sailor that faced an angry whale. 🐋 This unusual novel earned a 3.5/5 ⭐️ rating for reminding me that the relationship between mothers and daughters can be complicated.

At the school I work at, students can earn "money" for making good choices. Among other things, it can be used towards a monthly raffle. While the raffle prize varies month to month, giant stuffed animals are some of the common prizes. Usually the stuffed animal is given some sort of name. This month is Herman the Whale.

Book 9 for my #TenBeforeTheEnd and one I‘ve had on my shelf since it was long listed for the Women‘s Prize years ago. An entertaining tale based on true events in a whaling community in 1908. The main character Mary is funny and the writing had me laughing out loud a few times. Glad I finally read it!

ChaoticMissAdventures ✅ great job!! So close to completing the challenge! 10mo

The unharming sharks, they glided by as if with padlocks on their mouths; the savage sea-hawks sailed with sheathed beaks. On the second day, a sail drew near, nearer, and picked me up at last. It was the devious-cruising Rachel, that in her retracing search after her missing children, only found another orphan.
