The Summer Book | Tove Jansson

#MidsummerSolace

I hope you've enjoyed our #buddyreads 📚

This is an informal reading discussion for the tagged book. Please let us know your thoughts.

📢 I will post the discussion thread for A Wilder Way around late July, to give our 🇺🇸 readers a chance to catch up.

@TheBookHippie @Chrissyreadit

Librarybelle I did enjoy this one—lots of descriptive passages that made me feel like I was on the island. There is also a solid relationship between Sophia and Mimi, though Sophia did drive me nuts at times! 2mo

Bookwormjillk I have The Summer Book out from the library but as usual I am behind. I'll check back in when I finally get to it. 2mo

AllDebooks @Bookwormjillk thankfully, it's a short read. I hope you enjoy it x 2mo

IriDas I really enjoyed this book. I loved that it was a series of self-contained chapters. The relationship between the girl and her grandmother was very real, nobody was the “font of wisdom” so to speak, they were both just fully human. My Alma mater has several of her books. I think I will have to check them out when school starts back. 2mo

julieclair I adored The Summer Book! It was my only 5-star read in June. The relationship between grandmother and granddaughter was something truly special and loving. Even when they were angry with each other, they understood each other so well. 2mo

AllDebooks @IriDas @julieclair so glad you both enjoyed it. The relationship between Sophia and her grandmother was very realistic. 2mo

AllDebooks @Librarybelle Sophia was a handful at times. 😅 2mo

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Trashcanman maybe you would like non-fiction nature reads 2mo

AllDebooks @Riveted_Reader_Melissa thank you x 2mo

mcctrish And I see A Wilder Way isn‘t published for me until June 24th so I will sit this one out 4mo

Happy #Chatterday ☕️

I'm bimbling in the garden, tidying up and sowing seeds in between catching up with #buddyreads

What are your plans for today?

All welcome to join in. 😊

Tagging a few to start us of @thebookhippie @dabbe @Bookwormjillk @Cuilin @Chrissyreadit @Librarybelle

Bookwormjillk What are you planting? Enjoy your day! I‘m heading out for a stream clean up then taking some rest. There‘s a tall ships tour tonight we might go see if it‘s not raining. 5mo

Librarybelle Have a great day! I‘m hoping for a lot of rest—Zeke took another bad turn yesterday, after several good days, so hanging with kitties and rest are on my agenda. 5mo

ElizaMarie Just having my coffee in bed. Not sure what my day plans are yet. Its a bit rainy out 5mo

Cuilin Thankfully I‘m feeling so much better as my husband bought me and my daughters tickets to see Snow Patrol in Boston. He‘s our chauffeur so we have a ride to and from MGM Fenway. I‘ll probably spend most of tomorrow sleeping. Lol 5mo

Bookwormjillk @Librarybelle sorry Zeke is having a bad day 5mo

Deblovestoread @LibraryBelle Sorry to hear Zeke had a bad day. Hope both of you are able to rest. @Cuilin. Love Snow Patrol so much! Enjoy! Glad you are feeling better, too. (edited) 5mo

AllDebooks @Bookwormjillk Oh wow, I hope you get to see the tour. I'm starting with sunflowers, nasturtiums and wildflowers. 5mo

AllDebooks @Librarybelle Poor Zeke (and you)! Sending much love x 5mo

AllDebooks @ElizaMarie Always a good start to a day x 5mo

AllDebooks @Cuilin Yay, I'm so glad you're feeling better. Enjoy Snow Patrol 😊 5mo

Deblovestoread I‘m getting caffeinated under my heated throw with Pippin in my lap. Once I log off Litsy I‘ll read a bit and then get ready to go to a local Hands Off protest. I‘m a bit nervous as I‘ve always used my voice and protested from the safety of my home but I can‘t ignore this call to action. 5mo

Librarybelle Thanks, @Bookwormjillk @Deblovestoread @AllDebooks ! ❤️ 5mo

Cuilin @Bookwormjillk as a shanty singer‘s daughter I love a tall ships festival. 5mo

Cuilin @Librarybelle sending love for you and Zeke. 5mo

Cuilin @ElizaMarie ugh the weather is so blah today in Keene. 5mo

Cuilin @Deblovestoread thanks, yesterday I managed to leave the house. It was for bloodwork but still I felt really good. Well done on attending the protest!!!! Stay safe. 5mo

Librarybelle Thanks, @Cuilin ! ❤️ 5mo

dabbe @Bookwormjillk Sounds like a busy and beautiful day! 🩵💙🩵 5mo

dabbe @Librarybelle Oh, no. Poor Zeke. Hope you and your four babies cuddle together all day. 🩵💙🩵 5mo

dabbe @ElizaMarie I love when the entire day is open like that. The world is your oyster! 🩵💙🩵 5mo

dabbe @Cuilin Yay to you getting out for a fun event with your family! 🤩🤩🤩 5mo

dabbe @Deblovestoread You go, girl! I know exactly how you feel. I love to protest through letter-writing or something more quiet. You've inspired me! 👊🏻♥️👊🏻 5mo

dabbe Matt is just getting over a cold, so we're probably taking it easy today. I have lots of buddy reads to catch up with, and I just got him the last Gamache book, so he's already diving into that. I introduced them to him, and I'm only on book 6, and he's on the last one! 🤣

Thanks for the tag, @Alldebooks! 😍 I'm glad it's a lovely day for planting where you are! 🩵💙🩵 5mo

Librarybelle Thank you, @dabbe ! ❤️ 5mo

DebinHawaii I was out supporting local artists & the economy by spending money on their works. 😉 The winds are bringing VOG over from the Big island this week so limiting my outside time & taking extra preventative meds since I‘ll be there overnight Monday/Tuesday & back again on Friday & it‘s close to the volcano so worse than here. Having a relaxing day to recover from the week & gear up for the next one. 5mo

DebinHawaii @Librarybelle So sorry Zeke took a bad turn. Hope you can rest & he feels better soon! 💜 5mo

Librarybelle Thank you, @DebinHawaii ! ❤️ 5mo

ElizaMarie @Deblovestoread Your day sounded so great! Did you end up going to the #HandsOff Protest? My husband and I flaked on the time. WE thought it started around 1 not ended around 1 :( 5mo

ElizaMarie @Cuilin It was!!! I ended up cleaning my mudroom. I am determined that Winter is over (I know it's not quite there yet, but soonish), So I started to clean my mittens, scarves, and hats and put a lot of that stuff away. Still gotta keep some winter-sh stuff out. But my mudroom was a dumping ground - so there was a ton to go through. 5mo

ElizaMarie @dabbe We got a lot done - organizing-wise. Not what we had planned. We wanted to go to the protest but flaked on the time. We ended up going to lunch, and then finishing our mudroom cleanout. 5mo

ElizaMarie @dabbe Awe - I hope Matt feels better soon. 5mo

Cuilin @ElizaMarie There‘s nothing like a little spring clean up. Just don‘t look at the weather forecasted for the next 10 days 🙈 and all will be well. 5mo

Deblovestoread @ElizaMarie I did go with two friends and it was amazing. Brought me to tears a couple of times. We were lucky to have a gorgeous day. One of the best things I‘ve ever done. 5mo

Deblovestoread @ElizaMarie I LOVE a good clean up day especially putting away winter stuff. 5mo

TheBookHippie Out protesting yesterday!!! As one does. @Deblovestoread YAAAAAS!!! As a decades -holy shit FOUR DECADES- protestor … welcome to the resistance. 5mo

TheBookHippie @Cuilin the snow forecasted 😵‍💫 5mo

TheBookHippie @Cuilin omg!!! Snow Patrol!! 5mo

ElizaMarie @Cuilin It make me so mad!!! Also, I need to get my studs off my tires, which I think it would be “safe“ to set up an appointment in a week or two. 5mo

ElizaMarie @Deblovestoread I am so happy that you ended up going. I wish we were better at the timing, I saw pics of our town and the neighboring towns and it looks beautiful to see all the support out there. (It was rainy and ugly but there was a good turn out) 5mo

TheBookHippie @Librarybelle poor Zeke!!! 5mo

TheBookHippie @Cuilin I‘m glad you‘re feeling some better! Yay. 5mo

Librarybelle Thanks, @TheBookHippie ! ❤️ 5mo
