Welcome to Litsy!

I was today years old when I learned that the eels names in the little mermaid actually are nautical terms. How did I not know the meaning of these words before now?! 🤷🏻‍♀️

Kinda have mixed feeling about this new knowledge 🤨🤣

Any one who were to walk into our home would soon realize that there two things we do a lot of in this house. Read books and build Lego. So this book is the right fit! A book about LEGO!

Dad spent his career as a ship salvage engineer rescuing ships gone aground or sunk beneath the waves. Perhaps as a consequence, the story of the cargo has always intrigued me…what happens when it falls overboard? Adrift is a cross between a beautiful coffee table book, short essays, and fun facts about the things that wash up on our shores. It‘s about ocean currents, consumerism, plastic, and beachcomber finds.

This book is charming and so beautifully done! Multimedia journal style with artist Jo Atherton supplying the cyanotype endpapers made with found beach objects. An oceanographer and BBC journalist consulted. It‘s worth every penny and now I want to send one to everyone I know! 🤩😍🤩

This was gifted by a dear friend and former work colleague. He said he hopes I don‘t stay up all night reading.—It‘s like he doesn‘t know me at all. 🤣

It‘s here!
