Wishing you all a fab weekend. 🌞

AllDebooks I'm relaxing after a grocery shop. I'll spend most of this weekend planning out posts and activities for #MidwinterSolace #StorySpins #VirginiaBloomsberries and @TheLittensSociety 😅I'll squeeze a bit of time to read my #Grinch pick for #ChristmasCrimeChallenge @Ruthiella @RaeLovesToRead

sebrittainclark I've got a super busy weekend full of social activities for the whole family, but we're having the first meeting of the new silent book club my sister is starting today, so I'm very excited for that. 22h

Ruthiella Enjoy your precious reading time! 📚🎄🔪🎅🏻💀 22h

MidnightBookGirl Curled up reading even if I have a million things to do before Wednesday for our flight to Oklahoma (I dread flying), but technically the book is for one of the bookstores book clubs for tomorrow night , so it‘s work related. 22h

dabbe Lying low here. Currently drinking coffee with a fire going. Then, a dog walk. Then, prep for my niece's wedding tomorrow. Time to really groom myself! 🤣 Have a lovely weekend, everyone. 🧡🍁♥️ 19h

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick My guy will be at a show tonight with his buddy, so I'm pulling things out of the closet that needs washed up for the session ahead. I've got a wild night of sorting laundry & doing laundry, with some reading peppered in later. I need to start packing for our vacation to Dominican Republic in a couple weeks, too. Tomorrow evening we have a local wrestling show. It's a full weekend. 17h

#MidsummerSolace

It's time for our last #FridayNightShare (for now). It will be back in December for #MidwinterSolace

🌞 What's your go-to book when you're feeling low or struggling?
🌞 Which format do you prefer? 📚 🎧
🌞 Where is your most ideal reading location or environment?

@Chrissyreadit @TheBookHippie

kspenmoll Go to books: poetry & anything by John O'Donohue. I love physical books best, but kindle/phone for traveling, waiting for appointments. I love to read in my office in my couch with my cats & on porch. 5mo

AllDebooks ❤️ Thanks for your great answers. There is nothing like a tangible book to absorb yourself in the story. I find a 🐈 essential for comfort. 5mo

AllDebooks My go to to destress are always short stories, particularly nature or folklore genres. My favourites are The Mistletoe Bride by Kate Mosse, Januaries by Olivie Blake and

Why Willows Weep: Contemporary Tales from the Woods

5mo

AllDebooks I prefer reading outdoors or tucked up in bed. I prefer reading a book to ebooks but, you know, shelf space is limited! 🤷‍♀️ I've just got into audioboooks over the last 2 years, and they have been a gamechanger. Very relaxing listening to them before falling asleep. 5mo

Hygge: A Celebration of Simple Pleasures. Living the Danish Way. | Charlotte Abrahams

#HyggeHour readathon started out as a weekly reset during a #MidwinterSolace event. A great idea from Chrissy that proved so popular we kept it running as a weekly event.

Will you be joining us tonight to get cosy and snuggle down with books and snacks. Post pics and tag us.
