Summerland | Michael Chabon
110 posts | 35 read | 24 to read
From the Pulitzer Prize winning Michael Chabon comes this bestselling novel for readers of all ages that blends fantasy and folklore with that most American coming-of-age ritual: baseballnow in a new edition, with an original introduction by the author. Ethan Feld is having a terrible summer: his father has moved them to Clam Island, Washington, where Ethan has quickly established himself as the least gifted baseball player the island has ever seen. Ethans luck begins to change, however, when a mysterious baseball scout named Ringfinger Brown and a seven-hundred-and-sixty-five-year-old werefox enter his life, dragging Ethan into another world called the Summerlands. But this beautiful, winter-less place is facing destruction at the hands of the villainous Coyote, and it has been prophesized that only Ethan can save it. In this cherished modern classic, the New York Times bestselling, Pulitzer Prize winning author brings his masterful storytelling, dexterous plotting, and singularly envisioned characters to a coming-of-age novel for readers of all ages.

1. I already took my "summer vacation" back in March, when I went to the Philippines. That pretty much used up my vacation time and PTO for 2023. I do hope to take a mini vacation in October for my 60th birthday.
2. Tagged! I'm not a seasonal reader, but I do tend to read lighter, more upbeat books in the summer.

TheSpineView I am sure the Philippines was well worth no summer vacation! Thanks for playing 1y

This book was a good adventure. I really didn‘t think much of it. It was one of those waiting in line at the library and just grabbed it kind of thing but loved it.

I. I am not sure? I‘ve not read one intentionally knowing it was from a fellow Litten.
II. Nope 😊 this is it!
III. I was originally thinking Children of Blood and Bone, but I believe that is already in the works, so the tagged, Summerland! I think it would be an interesting imaginative movie to see. Would love to see the interpretation.

Thanks for the tag @Eggs !!

Good fantastical adventure of changes, dealing with the inevitable loss and sadness of life, and saving the end of the Worlds from the grips of Coyote. Made me tear up a few times and brought smiles of hope and love to my heart. I really enjoyed this 💚 #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

1. My kids do not have school till April 13. My work is essential employees only and work from home if you are essential (me 😒) until tbd. My husband‘s small business will surely take a hit. We‘re thinking about driving cross country to my mom‘s.
2. Questionable
3. Nah... all the parades cancelled
4. Summerland, and audio-Malcolm Nance, Defeating ISIS
5. Last night we watched the 2019 Jumanji. It‘s alright. #randosurvey @laurenslibrary

This is one of my oldest sister's favorites. She gave it as a gift to my NOS when he was an “appropriate age.“ I like fantasy, including children's/YA. This is an adequate/decent representative of the genre—nothing extraordinary. The writing didn't create the excitement level it should have in relation to the plot.

I have two books up for grabs. I have no one to pass these on to. Both are hard cover and in excellant condition. I am sure some Litten would like them. Maybe for a classroom or children. If you would like 1 or both email me at lisa@thespineview.com. First come, first served!

Repost for @Andrew65 :
To celebrate Summer we are having a special #24B4Monday Readathon the last weekend in Aug, & this time it will run the extra day to give even more time to clock up those hours & minutes. As an added theme let‘s read some books on a Summer theme - beach reads, books set in Summer, Summer in the title, books that make you happy like a Summer‘s day, etc😂If in the Southern Hemisphere feel free to read Summer or Winter books.

MaleficentBookDragon I'm in! 📚 5y
jb72 @MaleficentBookDragon glad to have you aboard! 5y

2. Sweet! But a combo is always good! (Chocolate covered pretzels anyone?)
3. I want a dog but I looooove my cats and am definitely labeled as a crazy cat lady.
4. MOUNTAINS! I hate the beach. I picked the wrong state...

It‘s been a while since I‘ve done a book exchange! These prompts are fun. 🙂 #summersantagoespostal #summerthisorthat

1. I‘m not a coffee or tea drinker. My favorite drink is probably Diet Dr. Pepper or Bing Black. 😋
2. I love sweets, especially chocolate!
3. I love cats and dogs but right now I have a super sweet golden retriever that is my life. ❤️🐕
4. Beach!
