I recently read The House by the Sea by one of my favorite authors May Sarton. I found out her mom taught at Winsor School (I went to Simmons College and we shared a soccer field). Her journals are wonderful if people have not read them. I highly recommend all her works.
Progress so far in an all Australian version of this challenge:
1. A body of water in the title: Searching for the Secret River by Kate Grenville
2. A title in the title: Nothing Like a Dame by Bernadette Clohesy

In the Lake of the Woods by Tim O'Brien was an excellent read. I found parts of it extremely frustrating, as it recalled a period in American history where it was hard to believe that some people felt activities such as those described were justified, but the writing was excellent.
I read The Day The Falls Stood Still by Cathy Buchanan.
In January of this year, I read my BODY OF WATER title: 74 Seaside Avenue by Debbie Macomber. This title is part of the Cedar Cove series set in Seattle, Washington (one of my favorite settings!)--#7 in the series. While not my favorite book in this series, I do love this series, its characters and love reading Macomber books--they're easy reads.
Dark Day in the Deep Sea is another Annie and Jack book. They have to go to the deep sea and learn about happiness. Jack and Annie get caught with a sea creature that seems bad, but really isn't. This is a good book if you like Magic Tree House books.
I read Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway and really enjoyed it. I wouldn't have read it if not for this challenge, so thanks for the push.

OUT OF THE OCEAN
written & illustrated by Debra Frasier
I'm one of those ocean/gulfshore types who isn't drawn to freshwater as much the salty.
OUT OF THE OCEAN is a bouncy trip with captain Debra Frasier who grew up alongshore the salty stuff in her native Florida. When it was still Florida along much of its coasts.
Unlike a Lab dog who shakes it off after emerging from the surf, Debra has kep the water & sand in her shoes, toes, fingers & very being, much to great effect in this delightful collage story.
Sea glass tumbled in the surf, notes in a bottle washed ashore, sea turtle tracks & more are shared with the young reader as a mother & daughter investigate by the shore. In the back of the book, there's a science/ecology world of sidebar info on about 30 items that are gifts from the sea as Anne Morrow Lindbergh wrote. With color photographs that the author took near her home shore & with cut papers that are artfully arranged.
For those who love sand underfoot & a salt breeze tousling your hair.
