On Whale Island: Notes from a Place I Never Meant to Leave by Daniel Hays

Date Started: November 29, 2015
Date Finished: December 5, 2015
Book Acquisition: Stolen from Mother a million years ago
Overall Rating: 3.5/5

On Whale Island used to be my desert island book but I think it isn't anymore. The writing was a bit pretentious and rambling and while I love a good ramble it wasn't totally for me. The only part of the book I still loved is where Daniel describes his love for his wife as "teenage stomach love bubbles". Those bubbles are the best. 

I read the majority of this book while sitting next to Johnny as he read another book. I've never sat and read with an other before and it was even better than I thought it could be. He makes me the quietest I've ever felt. 

I need to get better about update these as soon as I finish the book - otherwise I don't end up with anything to say!
