#SummerSpecial
When I think of a #boat I think about Willy Potts & his rowboat & the floatilla of unusual boats of the “summerfolk” in this book. One of my favorite childhood picture books, I bought a copy off of Ebay a few years ago & the charm of this story is still there.💚
#ArtfulAugust
A day late but it‘s been a week.😬
Here‘s a whole bunch of books from my stacks, each with a #SummerCover (the titles & the vibes) including cookbooks, children‘s & YA books, novels, a foodie/travel memoir & the tagged book, which is one of my favorite childhood picture books.
#WonderousWednesday Mahalo to @Eggs & @Andrea313 for the tags. Sorry I‘m late!🤗
1️⃣ Doris Burn for both as she illustrated one of my childhood favorites: We Were Tired of Living in a House & she wrote & illustrated the tagged book-another favorite.
2️⃣ Just OK. #buddyreads are helping but work has been exhausting & I‘m sleeping more than reading.
3️⃣ The 2 tagged below from a black-owned indie book store should be arriving soon.📬🖤✊🏽✊🏿
@Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks & @OriginalCyn620 have an awesome fun playlist for #SongsofSummer. You‘ll definitely want to play along. 🎶☀️🏖🛵

#TuesdayTidbits
1. Potato soup or Mac n‘ Cheese
2. Oh so many, but the tagged book, Alexander & The Magic Mouse, Peter Pan, & anything by Judy Blume, Shel Silverstein, A.A. Milne, & Hans Christian Anderson
3. Now & then: curled up in a blanket with a book & tea and my pup
Since today‘s the summer solstice for those of us in the northern hemisphere and we have one more day until the weekend, I thought a #hellothursday would be fun.
My answers:
1. The Summerfolk b/c kids outside having fun, imagining worlds is what summer should be about
2. Tales from Margaritaville
3. long days
4. just reading & enjoying the long days
#tellmetuesday
1. lemon-lime (why is there a lemon emoji but no lime?)
2. Both! 🏊♂️ ⛱
3. Hot, humid, & now rainy, which will make it more humid
4. Tea (sweet & iced like every good southern knows)
5. Making & then eating homemade🍦with my parents, spitting 🍉 seeds, going to the lake 🚤
