This or That Reading Challenge discussion

This: A book about an oceanic voyage. (Fantasy oceans count too.)
That: A historical book about people migrating.

For this month's selection I chose This: A book about an oceanic voyage, for which I read Migrations: A Novel by Charlotte McConaghy. The story takes place in the not-too-distant future, and features a passionate individual on a ship-bound voyage from Greenland to Antarctica to follow what could well be the final migration of the remaining Arctic terns. I really enjoyed this book. The writing was beautiful, and interspersed flashbacks revealed that there was much more to the story than initially met the eye, and there were some potent themes of loss in its various forms. 4 1/2 stars.

I chose This and kind of cheated, but they had to travel to get to the place so it counts. The book was called From Below by Darcy Coates. I loved it, it's become one of my favourite books. It's spooky and thrilling. Perfect for me when I'm reading outside of my review novels.
