AllDebooks Good morning 🌞 What's your go-to beverage to cool down? 😎 Defo an iced latte kinda day here at 30°C. @TheBookHippie posted some great recipes yesterday. Links to follow. 🍵 3d
AllDebooks I can't link from a private user. 3d
Bookwormjillk I've been loving a mix of cranberry juice, mango puree, and sparkling water. I also drink hot tea no mater what the weather. 3d

Bookwormjillk I have some errands to run today then I'm heading to the back yard to start attacking the tree that fell. 3d
Crazeedi We are getting our air conditioner put in windows, we've had weeks of rain, and now the next several days will be in the 90s and humid! Crazy weather, not a good garden year i fear! 3d
Librarybelle Good morning! Good luck with the tree, @Bookwormjillk , and hooray for a/c @Crazeedi ! 3d
Librarybelle A quiet weekend is in store for me, with cleaning this morning and then deciding what I should do for the rest of the weekend—read, nap, maybe tackle a home library project, or something else. Who knows?!? 😂 But, I‘ve not had an obligation-free weekend for a few weeks, so I‘ll enjoy it. 3d
AllDebooks @Bookwormjillk Tea runs in my blood, I drink so much. The cranbrrry sounds refreshing 😋 3d
AllDebooks @Crazeedi humidity is so hard to cope with. Hope you feel more comfy with the AC 3d
AllDebooks @Librarybelle I love a quiet weekend. X 3d

What books do you go for in the summer months? ☀️
Recommend a favourite sunny summer solstice read. 🌞

@TheBookHippie @Chrissyreadit

AllDebooks I love revisiting the Greek myths in summer. I'm so happy there are so many retellings to discover. For non-fiction, I recommend this incredible scientific and cultural history of the star that gives us life. 4d
kspenmoll Summer is a catch up time for me. Reading #14books14weeks from my TBR which is fun. Also want to let my mood dictate my choices. Want to read Summer‘s Hum & 4d
Dilara I've been known to read a book set in winter or in a cold country when it's scorching outside for its psychologically-cooling effect 😁 And also - but that is not specific to summer - I tend to keep those big doorstops for when I'm on holiday.
And now, I really want to read Terry Pratchett's Lords and Ladies again...

JuniperWilde @AllDebooks what are your three fave retellings. I loved A Thousand Ships, Circe 3d
JuniperWilde I‘ve always got two books on the go - one fiction and the other non fiction. That said - currently I have Raising Hare as my fiction pick even tho it‘s technically non. 3d
AllDebooks @kspenmoll I'm really enjoying #14books14weeks 📚 It's really helping whittle through my bedside tbr stack. 3d
AllDebooks @Dilara Yes, I love a big chunkster too, esp in the summer. Lazy, sunny day reading is the best. 👌 3d
AllDebooks @JuniperWilde A thousand ships is #1, loved The Song of Achilles and 3d
AllDebooks @JuniperWilde I've heard great things about Raising Hare 3d
JuniperWilde @AllDebooks I‘m going to hunt down Medusa. I love her story. 1d

TheBookHippie Omg I watched The Tylenol Murders on Netflix. EYE OPENING. (Lots of triggers) I do believe it was the company!!! Just creepy. https://www.netflix.com/title/81757969 (edited) 1w

AllDebooks @TheBookHippie Stay strong. Thanks for the Netflix rec, I'll take a peek. X 7d
Bookwormjillk What @Librarybelle and @TheBookHippie said. I‘m listening to and enjoying the audiobook for 7d
peaKnit I actually made iced tea yesterday, I must have intuited tea time lol! I watched a new 5 part doc on Netflix on Vietnam. It was interesting, and frustrating. I also read Wally Lamb‘s new gut punch, I mean book, The River is waiting. I‘d recommend both but with trigger warnings. I‘m seeing Pedro Pascal‘s new movie today in an attempt to pump up the joy. 6d

Pickpick

It was a pleasure to drop into the #MidsummerSolace reading with this beautiful little book. A collection of vignettes about summer on a tiny island in the Gulf of Finland, it was so charming in its evocative physical details. Weather and nature felt vivid, especially a spectacular and terrifying summer storm. Of course the real star of the show are the relationships between Sophia, her grandmother, and her often-absent father. Lovely all around.

AllDebooks I'm so glad you enjoyed it. 1w

I'll post a little prompt every Monday to remind ourselves to take care of ourselves and each other. This seems highly appropriate given the last few weeks. Be a light in this dark world. ✨️

Have a great week. 🌞
