Books Are My Favourite and Best hosts Six Degrees of Separation, and this month starts with Phosphorescence. Add six books that link together in some way, and see where you end up.
Julia Baird’s part-memoir-part-essay-collection, Phosphorescence, focuses partly on the awe of nature, of water and the ocean, and of long-term relationships.
This book led me to 
The Travelling Cat Chronicles by Hiro Arikawa. It celebrates long term relationships and love of nature, the ocean, and of all creatures, in particular, cats.

In Cygnet by Season Butler, June 25, 2018, Harper, a book set on a beautiful island off the coast of New Hampshire, nature and the ocean are prominent, and relationships are paramount to survival.
The next link is to
Savage Feast, February 26th 2019, Harper
Thinking of food leads me to a book of short stories,
Bread and Salt: Stories by Valerie Miner, September 5, 2020
Short stories lead to another collection, this one dealing with nature:
Sandlands by Rosie Thornton, October 28, 2016. Book description:
This beautifully written short story collection is inspired by coastal England.
What books are you linking to this month's Six Degrees of Separation prompt?
Sandlands definitely looks my cup of tea, though there's plenty here worth exploring - an interesting chain - thanks.
ReplyDeleteI definitely must look out for The Travelling Cat Chronicles! I'm not too keen on short stories, but I did enjoy Sandilands - it is very good.
ReplyDeleteHi there Harvee! Interesting link up! Especially The Travelling Cat Chronicles. I have it on my shelve, but still haven't read it. Need to get to it!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend and here's my From Phosphorescence to Lassie come home
Great chain! Most of these are new to me and several are very appealing.I particularly like the sound of We Two Alone, Savage Feast and Bread and Salt.
ReplyDeleteThose short stories collections sound good. Great chain here!
ReplyDeleteI like the way you jump from one book to another. Not too much connection: just a little. I enjoyed the Boris Fishman one, and I once read the original book that starts “I am a cat.”

I've only read the Thornton book so I will follow the other books backwards!
