Review of 'Surviving Sandy' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
I read this in the interim between Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma (2017) and found it a catharsis to jump into the details of preparation, documentation and recovery before, during and after a devastating storm. First person accounts of survivors and highlighted stories of first responders form the mesh of the book, arranged with dramatic and many not-previously-seen photographs of 2012's Superstorm Sandy.

Maiakumaribree reviewed Animal heart by Brenda Peterson
Review of 'Animal heart' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
Care for animals of land and sea forms the backbone of this romantic tale of ocean science adventure. Beautifully descriptive story that I would love to see as a movie, since the writing is so easy to visualize in a film-like manner. I wonder if it would have to be created in animation - maybe Miyazaki's Studio Ghibli would tackle it.
