I have not touched a book since Saturday. 😩😩😩😩

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.

Okay, #1 I was a church musician. Allylu is short for AlleluiaLu; #2 I like to cross stitch, crochet, sew or do chores; #3 Darling Girls by Sally Hepworth

July has been my worst reading month ever 😭

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?

📖 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)

This is a delightful little book that is perfect for pagan families and anyone who loves green spaces, growing things. Lucy‘s grandfather tells her the story of Lob, the ancient ‘Green Man‘; she learns to garden and has a deep respect for nature. She learns that he is never far, but always drawn to the wild places. There are also lessons about not trying to control nature; death and rebirth. Magic can be found everywhere, if you look for it.

(Shown: a photo I took in Bonneau Ferry). Even if you haven‘t seen Lob, you‘ll probably see a Green Man, if you look, or sometimes a Green Woman. They‘re masked or caped or hooded in leaves. You might see one carved in a church doorway, looking out at you from stems and leaves of stone. They‘re everywhere. You might find one on a pub sign, or catch a glimpse of a face in the trees. You‘ll quite often meet them in gardens, of course; they like⬇️
