“I didn‘t want to be at the party, but I couldn‘t bear to be alone, so I turned on Blue Planet.”
pickBought this book for a friend who passed through town today but I couldn‘t see because I was working. A fascinating look at the consciousness of a very odd creature. More alien than most.
pickIn ten essays, Imbler writes about ten different sea creatures and relates them to their own life experiences. They explore their own identity as well as their relationships with others and has a gentle way of connecting the natural world to the human experience that was so earnest and insightful.

January wrap-up 📚 I finished 11 books and had a great kickoff to the reading year!
🥇How Far the Light Reaches
🥈Into Thin Air
🥉Check & Mate
The ocean and all that lives in its depths is so fascinating!
pickI wasn‘t expecting so much memoir in this one. It‘s part science, talking about sea creatures and intertwines the animal‘s lives around the author‘s life; relationships, queerness, mixed race, fitting in etc. The author is very truthful about their experiences growing up and defining who they are as they mature and experience life. The book is cleverly articulated. The science part reminded me of An Immense World.

This is a favorite non-fiction animal book. I also loved a few others written by the author.
pickPowerful writing, spellbinding ability to weave factual apects of marine life with pivotal moments in their own life through beautiful prose. Such a delicate balance between fascinating and heartbreaking insights into sea life, especially as humans have affected/interacted with them, and deeply personal reflections that include some dark and upsetting subject matter. 1/2
New year doesn't HAVE to mean a whole new you.
