I am a bit surprised Cody only posted about #TheSeaInMe for a week or two, then stopped. Granted, he was caught up in going to Paris/France/Olympics and Emma, at the time. But, I think he had an IG reel/story about the book, but it wasn't around long.
I will put this book between Justin's second book and Cody's first on the shelf.
I take it the two month transit time from Sweden was due to the book crossing the Atlantic on a small sailboat, that needed to dip south for the easterly winds.
Also quite right that this copy of #TheSeaInMe arrived during a nice downpour from the start of a thunderstorm, which saw the outer cardboard mailer get some rain on it. It wasn't too soaked, but I did promptly open the package to ensure the book wouldn't get wet. Heard the mail carrier yelling as he sort of got caught in the storm. I'm glad it finally got here. Alas, it's an unsigned copy, at least for now...
After two full months of waiting, my copy of #TheSeaInMe arrived, at last. It actually was mailed from Sweden, but is a Penguin Australia book.
Have now added it to my #CodySimpson collection. Wonder what we'll see next from Codes.... feels like another edition by #PrinceNeptune is in order, sometime in the next year, or two, perhaps.
Considering #TheSeaInMe depicts and mentions an ice cream van, quite the coincidence that one passed through here last night. #books
In addition, I did "purchase" a copy of Cody's #TheSeaInMe , coming from Australia. But, the item was ordered in mid-July, and we're now closing in on two months since, and it has yet to arrive. I'll be requesting a refund for my copy if it fails to get here by the beginning of October. It has been a disappointing experience trying to get a copy. Perhaps I shouldn't have bothered.
As a long chapter in #JulianAssange 's life came to a close earlier, a new one is set to begin.
And, now, a little storytime from @[email protected] as we read and hear #TheSeaInMe , from an Australian beach:

Enjoyed it, quite a bit. Such nice illustrations.
Will continue to wait for Codes and his contacts to make some signed copies available, internationally. Would certainly still like a copy, even after having now read along with the descriptive narration.
Let’s read THE SEA IN ME by Cody Simpson and Jess Black #summerreading #codysimpson ​⁠

Here's the video of it:

Amazing how long the interval seems to feel between a world record time, and fractions to one or two seconds longer than that. This is coming from my virtual spectator position, half a world away. Imagine what it's like as the athlete in the pool itself.
I'm a little surprised Codes didn't buzz the hair off. Maybe he's planning to really let it grow now...

Don't forget: #TheSeaInMe 's official release is on Tuesday, the 18th.

With only a weekend until the start of the #AustralianOlympicTrials , @[email protected] is undoubtedly preparing for the heats of his life. He'll have a couple of things to look forward to beyond the racing in Brisbane... #TheSeaInMe being officially released on June 18th & a #GQAustralia cover shoot + interview of him, set to come out next Friday, the 14th. Hopefully I can read that in full at some point. Nice pics of him in various designer clothes from that shoot. All the best, to you Codes.
