legitimately feel like i could read this mc as any gender. halfway into the chapter i realized i had assumed it was a woman but i have no linguistic indication so far of it. cool english language trick 👍

"Look, if you don’t make a fool of yourself over animals, at least in private, you aren’t to be trusted."
Quite possibly one of the most accurate statements I've ever read.

Creepy crawling vines, sentient mushrooms, or a killer forest; no matter what shape they take, plants and fungi play a main part in these horror novels.

What is the most annoying book finale of all time? And how would you handle it yourself, to make it more satisfying?
KittenInACave wrote a review...
Returning to the best of Ransome form, We Didn't Mean to Go to Sea is a fantastic classic kids adventure read, that I've loved for the better part of 5 decades. The 4 Walker children are without their friends the Amazon's and the D's in this one, waiting for their father to return home after an overseas posting in the navy.
They spend a few days on a small sailing cutter (The Goblin) with a local sailor, Jim Brading, crewing for him for fun… But he goes ashore one day for supplies, and doesn't come back. The Goblin loses her anchor in a severe gale and fog that evening, and the children get pulled out to sea. These young sailors have to navigate a dangerous and scary situation to get home safely! As ever in these books, the focus is on courage, teamwork, taking care of one another, and of independence.
A splendid bedtime story, for insomniac/painsomniac me!
Incidentally, I started this book around the same time as A Boy and His Dog at the End of the World, thus unintentionally giving myself two books where kids go to sea alone almost (in one case) and literally (in the other) without meaning to. There's even red sails prominently in each book! It was a remarkably complimentary pairing given the stories couldn't really be more different!

Stumbled over to the Stats section this morning to see that there's a new feature called "Generate Wrapups". I'm such a nerd for stats, so I was blown away to see everything J+L included in these wrapups. Also, any time a new feature drops, I feel like a kid who forgot it was a holiday and is unexpectedly receiving gifts!!

Does anyone have any favorite stats they now have access too?? I'm a big fan of seeing who I interact most with each month and my top post of the month 🙂
(Sorry J+L if I blew the surprise, I was just too excited to not share this with others!!! It's really comprehensive and great and I'm seriously blown away at how thorough it is!!!!)
