So here I am again, waiting for a hurricane and sitting in bed listening to the rain and reading. Here‘s my hurricane-waiting reading. I hope to finish Cultish today and at least get started on The Personal Librarian and The Sound of the Sea. Our 37th anniversary is Tuesday, and it seems like nature often sees fit to send us hurricanes for anniversary gifts. I wish it would stop doing so!

This book about shells is really more a book about humans and our relation to shells. Rather than a single narrative, it is closer to a series of essays tightly held around the theme of shells and exploring history, anthropology, and science. Once I recognized the essay-like format, I liked it a lot, but struggled a bit before that. Really interesting!

While I tend not to be pro-assassination, this is nonetheless a pretty brilliant idea. (“The queens” refers to the Queen conch.)

🚷no hiking or reading about it no just no

I walk the ocean shoreline while in California -me pictured in Malibu ..
I currently walk outside 30 minutes every morning - only because it helps my friend🤍
Treadmill is my walking place 😂😂😂or the city.

A boy and his mother imagine what it would be like to spend a day at the seashore, hunting for seashells and building sandcastles

For many this book might seem dry, but I personally loved it. It was full of so much fascinating information about seashells and their use in our history, both past and present.

I took my time reading this one so that I could absorb all the well-researched details. However, if the ocean and seashells do not interest you, this one might not be for you.
