Read 'n' Seed: The Wave : In Pursuit of the Rogues, Freaks and Giants of the Ocean

Hi there everyone!

For my Read 'n' Seed book I chose The Wave: In Pursuit of the Rogues, Freaks and Giants of the Ocean. The book is by Susan Casey.

Do you remember the movie Twister? Well basically the plot of this book seems to be about the same sort of thing. Its about a group of scientists and wave fanatic surfers who are traveling around the world to find the most monster waves possible. As they are traveling they are collecting data to discover possible causes for ship wrecks!

For those of you who don't know me, I am engaged! :) My fiance is currently in the process of becoming a Navel Officer. With that being said, I have a special place in my heart for the ocean and everything that goes along with that. Bisides this, I've just always been enamored by the ocean. Coming from a small town in Wisconsin, the ocean has always been something that I would love to know more about because only on rare occasion do I get to even see it!

  2. NY Times
  3. Author's Website
From what I know about the book with out it being delivered it is 352. So with that being said, I will be trying to divide the book into exact quarters, meaning for each quarter I plan on reading 88 pages!

Happy readings!
