  1. I’m almost finished my first book for this challenge- Leslie Jamison’s essay collection, Make it Scream, Make it Burn.

    I have a bunch of books to choose from for the disease category but oceanography was a little trickier – I’ve settled on Fathoms by Rebecca Giggs… it’s about a whale but that counts, right? 😬

  2. The book I just posted on would be a good choice for the essay category, Findings by Kathleen Jamie but I am going to claim it for the travel category which it also fits. I also like the oceanography suggestions, there are lots of wonderful books out there on that topic.
    Loving this challenge.
