Pass the ginger beer! And get ready for an adventure 😉

ultrabookgeek Please tell me what this series is about! Is it like the Beatles meets Scooby-Do? 8y

CoffeeAndABook Yay!! They'll always inhabit a corner of my ❤️ .... all 5️⃣ of them!! 8y

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @ultrabookgeek, basically 4 kids and 1 dog having unsupervised adventures (published in the 40s and 50s) which often involved camping, amazing picnics, bike riding and solving a crime/mystery... Generally no music so not very Beatle like. (The cover in the right is from the 70s tv show) 8y

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @CoffeeAndABook, so true! 8y

Escaping the Giant Wave | Peg Kehret

#somethingforsept
#bookssetbythesea
I'm a bit terrified of tsunamis. I'm signed up to receive text notifications of emergencies on the coast, even though I don't live on the coast. We love to visit, but I always know the escape routes.
I only read this book because it's an Oregon Battle of the Books selection, and I'm on the committee. It's terrifying. People die. I won't tell you which people though. You've been warned.

LibrarianJen What's your library limit? I always find other library operations fascinating! 8y

Eyelit @LibrarianJen it's currently set at 50 (and only 5 holds at any given time - which is so difficult!!!). A couple years ago there was no limit, but those times are gone forever 😫 8y

thegirlwiththelibrarybag Yes! This book will also make you hungry! 8y

Leelee.reads I thought this book was super fun! 8y

Mark Twain's Letters from Hawaii | Mark Twain, Arthur Grove Day

pick

Day 20 #SeptemberPhotoChallenge #bookssetbythesea My sea-set pick is Mark Twain's travel letters from a 1866 trip to the Hawaiian Islands. Written when he was 31, his trip underwritten by a Sacramento newspaper, I wouldn't call this Twain's best-but considering it was written 150 years ago, it's a fascinating & humorous observation of Hawaii in that era. Warning: There are moments of cringe-worthy racism common for the times.🌴🍍#somethingforsept

Gould's Book of Fish | Richard Flanagan

Here's my collage for #bookssetbythesea.

I didn't really get on with the Flanagan book to the extent that I never tried his Booker winner, but I love that this UK hardback printed each chapter in a different colour of ink to represent the different inks the narrator was able to make from the fish he caught.

BookishFeminist That is a really cool cover concept. 8y

LeahBergen Such a fun series. Have you watched the BBC series? 8y

Texreader Wait...what? There's a series??? No way! Yayyyy! 8y

Texreader @LeahBergen I meant to tag you on my last post. I was just so stunned!!! 8y

See All 8 Comments

LeahBergen Yes!! Only one season so far. It's called The Last Kingdom. 8y

LeahBergen http://m.imdb.com/title/tt4179452/ 8y

Texreader @LeahBergen Thanks! Have you watched any and what did you think? Looks like it for decent ratings. 8y

LeahBergen @Texreader Yes, I binged the whole season. I wasn't too sure about some of the casting at first but they followed the first book pretty closely (and hey, we can't be THAT picky... there are not enough shows like this out there!😉) 8y

Texreader @LeahBergen thanks so much! I hope it is on Netflix 8y

Por la borda | Ingrid Noll

Ingrid Noll is my go-to contemporary German writer for dark humor, wicked female protagonists, and clever plotting. Unfortunately, only 3 of her books are available in English. They are available in some other languages, though, so if you are bilingual, try one of her books! 📚 #bookssetbythesea #somethingforseptember #septemberphotochallenge
