Bookwormjillk Hello all! I rarely say this, but I read so much yesterday that I hope to but the books down today. Although one of the things I want to do is maybe visit a bookstore. We‘ll see. A Saturday within plans. 2h
Librarybelle Good Morning! My goal is to sleep this weekend. 😂 My rest during the night has been less than what it has been, but we‘ll see. 36m

My apologies for having not written more Haikus recently. My Haiku's have been on the darker side and political...I figured that I have been posting enough on these topics...

Then @CBee @dabbe & @Chrissyreadit inspired me July 2nd to write this Haiku. Thank You All for your kindness 🥰🫂💝.

This community is made magical by every Litten here 🪄💖💫.

Thank You Litten Friends For Being My Neighbor 🏠📚🏘️📚🏡💝.

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! 5d

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. 5d
AllDebooks @Bookwormjillk thankfully, it's a short read. I hope you enjoy it x 5d
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. 5d
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. 4d
AllDebooks @IriDas @julieclair so glad you both enjoyed it. The relationship between Sophia and her grandmother was very realistic. 4d
AllDebooks @Librarybelle Sophia was a handful at times. 😅 4d

Librarybelle Good Morning! It‘s a foggy morning in my area this morning, and my head is certainly feeling the weather. This is a quiet weekend for me, so hopefully my usual reading and naps, as well as prepping for #ChristiesCapers and #LiteraryCrew discussions. 1w

#FridayNightShare #MidsummerSolace

🌞 I don't have a go-to book when I'm feeling low or struggling. Just the act of isolating to dive in a book brings me peace and comfort.
🌞 My favorite format is physical books 📚 While I read a huge ton of magazines online, ebooks I rarely read. I just can't do audio.
🌞 I read mostly inside. During the day, on my couch in the living room, at night in bed ;)

@Chrissyreadit @TheBookHippie

kspenmoll Poetry in many forms I find uplifting as well as anything by John O'Donohue. 1w
JulietteReadsALot @kspenmoll Thanks for the recommendation ;) 1w
