Picked this up at the Book Thing, for BC. I read this book several years ago, and enjoyed it very much.

From the cover -
After seventeen years at sea, Linda Greenlaw - author of the New York Times bestseller The Hungry Ocean - decided it was time to take a break from being a swordboat captain, the career that earned her a prominent role in Sebastian Junger's The Perfect Storm and a portrayal in the subesquent film. She felt she needed to return home, to a tiny island seven miles off the Maine coast with a population of seventy year-round residents, thirty of whom are her relatives. She would pursue a simpler life; move back in with her parents; become a professional lobsterman; and find a man and settle down. But almost none of this works out as planned, and soon she is forced to reevaluate everything she thought she knew about life, luck, and lobsters.
In this hilarious and moving true story, Greenlaw reveals her keen eye for the dramas of small-town life, as well as her talent for fascinating nautical description. The Lobster Chronicles is a must-read for everyone who loves boats and the ocean (and lobsters), everyone who has ever reached a crossroads in life, and everyone who has wondered what it would be like to live on a very small island. A celebration of family and community, this is a book that proves once again that fishermen are the best storytellers around.

RELEASE NOTES:

Bringing to the BC meet for anyone who wants it.

Picked up this book today at the Bookcrossing Meetup in Rockville, MD!

I enjoyed reading this book about trying to make a new life back home. I especially like Linda's observations about her relatives and other Islanders.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

Mailed to ramson who picked it out of the September Everybook VBB on BookObsessed.

I am just noticed this book had not been journalled. I am so sorry for the delay. This was a very good read.
