#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.

Texreader I've seen the shows. They are so good. 8y
BookishBelle They are! The books are what made me want to go to Sweden though. One day. 8y
Cathythoughts Love these books too 7y

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

LeahBergen Good one! 8y
Laura317 Yep. This movie came out when I was in 6th grade. My Dad took me with him to a conference in CA. He wanted to go to the beach. I flat refused to even stick a TOE in the surf. A shame, because I used to be fearless in the ocean. 8y
SoniaC @Laura317 lol great story! 8y

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

#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

pppooraikul I'd really like to know your view on this one. 😊 Should I move it up to the top of TBR pile? 8y
The_Literary_Jedi @pppooraikul - I would use this as an in-betweener book when you need to take a break. They're middle grade reading so you can get through them very quickly. Being the case, if read entirely they won't be satisfying 8y

The Island: A Novel | Elin Hilderbrand

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

BookishMarginalia The movie is out now, I think. 8y

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
