The Secret Language | Ursula Nordstrom

I loved loved loved boarding school books, and this was the best, full of memorable situations and details. The Ice Cream cone costumes! The bunk beds! I can't be too sorry Nordstrom didn't write anything else, since she edited so many classic children's books.

Other fun books: Little Men, Witch Week, Apples Every Day (more YA), A Little Princess.

BarbaraBB Lots of days left in July to fill that empty calendar 🤍. I‘d recommend

The Passengers: A near-future thriller with a killer twist from the bestselling author of THE ONE

6mo

bookandbedandtea @BarbaraBB I LOVED The Passengers! Marrs is one of my favorite authors. I might reread that one just because I liked it so much, maybe it will be the kickstart I need! 🧡 6mo

bookandbedandtea @TheBookgeekFrau I'm not a fan of my lack of ability to focus- or care- about whatever books I've tried to read recently. 😭 6mo

BarbaraBB Or you can try this one if you haven‘t already. It‘s just as good

The One

6mo

TheBookgeekFrau @bookandbedandtea I Hate when that happens! I've unfairly tossed aside many books over the years bc of that mood 😣 The last time I felt like that I bought a crossword puzzle book and did crosswords for a couple of months 6mo

Slump | Dave Jarzyna

This is the 3rd year in a row I‘ve experienced a reading slump in late spring/early summer. This year was better. I DID read every month. I finished 4 books in June, even though none of them spoke to me enough to be worth highlighting for #12Booksof2023. But I clearly need to be more intentional about my reading at this time of year. Does this happen to any of you? Do you have suggestions for me about staving off these expected slumps?

Andrew65

AnnR I think sometimes a reader just has to go with a book slump. Sometimes I reread a favorite children's book or something light. Other times I just take a break and watch movies or a favorite TV series instead of reading. 12mo

Billypar I just checked my Goodreads, and it looks like I'm currently in my longest stretch of the year without a 5 star read (last one was November 6th). Still plenty of 4-star reads though. I think I'm just too easily pleased, but if it goes on much longer I would seek out something more out of the ordinary with a bold style or unique story. 12mo

dabbe I find I need something really easy and lighthearted to get back in the serious reading mode. That's when I turn to my PEANUTS and MUTTS comic books. I feel the book in my hands, I can get through (and enjoy) each book easily, and it usually spurs me to dive deeper. 💙🖤💙 12mo

IndoorDame @dabbe I do like the lighthearted idea. Peanuts seems like a wonderful break between more serious reading! 12mo

@AllDebooks @TheBookHippie @Chrissyreadit

📖 I don't really read seasonally. It depends on my mood
📖 Historical, mysteries, and fantasy
📖 No, but we do watch a lot of A Christmas Carol adaptations!
📖 The Tailor of Gloucester by Beatrix Potter - we also watch the TV adaptation every year (available on DVD)
