Description:
What compels a person to set out to sea? A solo sailor explores the exhilarating and frightening world of the wide ocean
Sailing on a boat by yourself out at sea and out of sight of land can be exhilarating or terrifying, compelling or tedious - sometimes it can be all of these things just in one morning. It is an adventure at odds with our normal, sociable lives, carried out floating on a medium wholly inimical to our existence. But the deep ocean is also a remarkable place on which to think.
Richard King's enormously engaging and curious new book is about the debt we owe to solo sailors- women and men, young and old, who have set out alone. Spending weeks and months alone, slowly, quietly and close to the ocean surface is to create the world's largest laboratory- an endlessly changing, capricious and startling place in which to observe oneself, the weather, the stars and myriad sea creatures, from the tiniest to the most massive and threatening.
This is a book for anyone who is fascinated by sailing, solitude and the vast seas that cover so much of our planet.

What a spicy lovely tale of love
Format: Kindle
I receive an ARC copy and am leaving my thoughts voluntarily.
I really liked all the other books in this series and it was so nice to see characters I loved again while being introduced to some new faces that I can to love just as much. And I love seeing that some development has occurred! It’s not vital to the story but still nice to see.
The idea of a romance with one character being a single mom isn’t something I see too often. And it’s done so well here. There’s genuine interest in not only the mom but the child as well and becoming a true family, with all feelings considered. I adored seeing the interactions with Theo. And one character is also trans, with some societal pushback they have to struggle though, which makes life all the harder and the sweet scenes all the sweeter.
The spice here is high. But the thing I love about all Dani’s books is the strong emphasis on consent. It’s not there as an afterthought, it is as important as aspect as the physical act! And I adore it. Anyone that argues consent can’t be sexy should read Dani’s books.
The world building is woven into the plot with exploration of history, discussion of the “he said, she said” of historical events, and how knowing the truth is important. I loved seeing the characters uncover and process everything.
That’s probably a huge trait of Dani’s books I adore—there’s room to breathe. They give you the space to really process which adds to the realism. These are character driven books and I love getting to know each one.
Recommend this one and all the ones before it! Just make sure you can handle the spice and the nastiness of how cruel people can be because it pulls no punches.

Pretty funny
Format: Hardcover
The book gives us a more focused outlook on Chieg Wiggum. Full of its funny moments, I`d recomend this to huge Simpsons fans as it seems the shows writers managed to give us another hit.
