Stay up past my bedtime with me for this:

With just over a month until the US publication of MOVE LIKE WATER with @tin_house , I am SO THRILLED to announce the launch day event. It will be a digital event with @pointreyesbooks and the amazing Bathsheba Demuth @brdemuth.bsky.social (fan girl moment).

Dr. Pullen & Dr. Widdershins recommend Move Like Water by hannahlilystowe. This memoir blends an injury recovery & coming of age story with environmental writing, all in incantatory prose infused with a love for the sea. Dr. W. appreciates the orange tabby cameo. #purrfectreads

Lovely to see this piece I wrote on art and science in The Marine Biologist MBA - Marine Biological Association

Sometimes taking care of an old wooden boat is stressful and the jobs list before winter seems pretty long right now. But trips like this make it SO WORTH it. It felt like a dream/once in a lifetime, and was so amazing to be able to share with friends

Storm bound in Gotland. Very happy to have a cosy day below deck.

When you MOVE LIKE WATER’ed a little too hard 🤢🤮😂

Nothing like the sun breaking through after a rough nights sailing ❤️

Scandinavian Summer ❤️

Did anyone listen to Lynn Bowles on BBC Radio Wales this afternoon? I was on talking about MOVE LIKE WATER. First live radio. Thanks for having me ❤️

Midsummer 🌞 planned my return to sailing for when the light grew longest 🥹

Happy Solstice 🌞

We have #signed copies of #MoveLikeWater : A Story of the Sea and Its Creatures by hannahlilystowe in #Haverfordwest #Pembrokeshire
Granta Books have done a brilliant job on the deep blue sprayed edges #spredges

Up early for #coffee & #watering . I finished this magical book from the brilliant hannahlilystowe which is essentially all about our most powerful relationships & how they tug at us & tie us firm. Mother-Daughter, Land-Sea, Human-Animal, Home-Adventure all deeply intertwined🐋💙

Rachel Handley 🏳️‍🌈 I’m finishing this beautiful tale from hannahlilystowe. What about you?

Grey day yesterday, but turned out to be perfect for the goose wing. Downwind sail from Storra Nassa all the way to Sandhamn, threading Larry between the islands/rocks.

Ali, a house guest, reading #MoveLikeWater by ⁦hannahlilystowe⁩ published by ⁦Granta Books⁩. Ali said when she finished it, '...that was a bloody good read, written so well, an inspiring, educational journey, calling you back to the sea, I loved it...'

From yesterday: first time getting canvas up for me for 2 years, a smooth man overboard drill (oops but good practice), and picking our way through the islands to the most beautiful mooring spot. Very adventure, pretty pirate, and so stunning 🇸🇪❤️
