pickBack at my place now and finished Secret Water on my balony. It is a very nice story and I would say very appealing to kids. Some passages inbetween are quite dragging and could‘ve been shorter and more entertaining, but overall a beautiful adventure-explorer story.
pickI absolutely loved this book, just as I have ever book in this series so far. So jealous of these adventures! My parents never abandoned me on an island with a sailboat so I could map out unexplored territory with my siblings!!!
Also so much love for the Jonathan Cape editions and their spectacular end paper maps!
And now I am going to finish this one - I have been reading it on and off the whole summer. Unfortunately no secret waters around here. 😅
Reading with a hot, strong coffee and a beautiful view - anything else needed? 🤗
I am travelling to Germany today, a 4 hours ride by train - a lot of time to read... 🤗
Where am I now? Take a guess. 😍
Finally starting #7books7days #7days7books (???) Day 1
Books that changed me or made an impression on me.
I loved all of the Swallows and Amazons books, but this one (about mapping some islands off the Essex coast) was given to me with a map! (Geographers in the family, what can you do?!) And so started a lifelong obsession which did include a few years of map librarianing.
Do you fancy doing this one @BookwormM (if you haven‘t already)?
Part of my Barnes and Noble haul! Just cleaned off these cloud bookends, which were $2! I've never owned any. Crazy for a bookworm, right? I just use my shelves.
I also got two more children's classic hardcovers for $10 a piece, Misery (full price because I had a hankering) and the Secret Water and Roller Skates were on sale for $5 a piece! #bookhaul #booksale
