Today’s featured book is an ARC I’m starting in the next day or so:  Sea Creatures, by Susanna Daniel.  I just finished reading another fabulous book by this author today, called Stiltsville (my review), so I am eager to dive into this one.






Teaser:  Graham had a way of zeroing in on exactly what made history interesting.  Being a tourist with him was like traveling with your best high school teacher, the one who put down the textbook and relayed some bit of trivia that brought an entire era to life  (p. 117)







What I love about this author is her talent for picking out the ordinary moments in life and rendering them poignant.  Would you keep reading?  I know I can’t wait!



    1. One of my teachers immediately popped into my mind when I read this….I hadn’t really thought history was much fun until he showed us the way it could be meaningful and fun. Thanks for sharing, Tea.

    I always loved those teachers…the ones who actually made the learning experience interesting. I need someone like that to travel with. 🙂 Great teaser!


  2. This book sounds riveting…if the intro is any indication of the rest of the story, I definitely want to read it. I have Stiltsville here and haven’t read it yet. I want to start it now based on what you’ve said! Susanna Daniel is an author I don’t want to miss out reading! Enjoy!


  3. Yes, this definitely sounds like something I’d like. I’m making all kinds of guesses about the husband and the sleep disorder. Plus, aren’t mothers naturally drawn to protect their kids over their husbands. I guess some aren’t since so many children end up killed by “the boyfriend.” I’ll look forward to seeing your review.


  4. I read that first paragraph and said, “How true.” Parenting is one of the most terrifying jobs. Now I want to know more, however. How does buying a houseboat fit into that beginning. Good choice today.


    1. Yes, I am very curious as well. I just finished reading the author’s previous book, Stiltsville, and it’s set in Miami, too, only the houses are stilt houses. Interesting….Thanks for stopping by, Margot.
