What the Wild Sea Can Be: The Future of the World�s Ocean | Helen Scales

Here‘s my progress on this book for the #naturalitsy buddy read. It‘s interesting but she‘s using a lot of scientific words that I don‘t understand. I feel like I need Cliff Notes to understand what she‘s talking about but when she‘s not using scientific words, I understand what she‘s talking about. I‘ve never read a book by a marine biologist. I will keep going with this though.

The Summer Book | Tove Jansson

#LitSolace #NaturaLitsy

#MidsummerSolace #buddyread 2nd choice is Tove Jansson's 1972 novel.
The non-fiction choice is unavailable in US until late June. So, with that in mind, I will run a relaxed fiction (tagged) and non-fiction (A Wilder Way) #buddyread
for those wishing to participate.
All welcome. Please let me know if you wish to be added/removed from the taglist.

@TheBookHippie @Chrissyreadit @LitsyEvents

Librarybelle This does not come out until late June in the US, so I‘ll check with my library in June to see if it‘s on order! 3d

AllDebooks @Librarybelle thanks for letting me know. I could always run an alternative for US. Something like

The Summer Book

Librarybelle That‘s easier to get in the US. Completely up to you! 3d

AllDebooks @Librarybelle I'm happy to run a fiction and non-fiction read 📚 😀 3d

Cuilin @AllDebooks @Librarybelle it‘s out in 18 hours on Spotify and Audible. Strange that the audiobook is out before the hardback 🤔 (edited) 3d

AllDebooks @Cuilin yay 😀 3d

AllDebooks *** Please refer to 2nd post re a fiction #buddyread for those who can't access A Wilder Way. 😀📚🌞 3d

AllDebooks https://litsy.com/p/c2xKWUpVVzA0 3d

Librarybelle @Cuilin That is odd. Maybe because it‘s the UK version that is offered through Spotify and Audible??? 3d

Cuilin @Librarybelle Possibly. Spotify even have a countdown clock lol 3d

CatLass007 Thanks so much for the tag. I‘m going to have to sit this one out. My library doesn‘t have either book and I‘m really trying to get control of my spending. I hope everyone enjoys whichever book they choose!! 3d

TheBookHippie @AllDebooks the summer book is in my TBR if you switch it. 😊 3d

AllDebooks @TheBookHippie I'm going to host both. 😀📚 3d

TheBookHippie @AllDebooks 🙃 3d

TheBookHippie @Cuilin @librarybelle kindle says April 24 hardback June 😵‍💫😂🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤣 3d

Librarybelle @TheBookHippie So bizarre! I have this thing of buying ebooks at a hefty price (I only buy them on discount and am now avoiding Amazon as much as possible). I actually forgot to look at ebooks! 😂 But, this is good to know! 3d

TheBookHippie @Librarybelle I‘m hoping it‘ll come other places and I too am not paying Amazon ten bucks 😂😵‍💫 3d

Crinoline_Laphroaig I have a lot going on in June so I'm going to skip. 2d

AllDebooks @Crinoline_Laphroaig ok. Have a great summer ☀️ 2d

Catsandbooks I won't be participating in the buddy reads but I still would like to be tagged for other #midsummersolace activities and posts 💚 2d

kelli7990 I want to join. 1d

Kenyazero Looks like my library doesn't have this one, so I'll just follow along and join in on future reads 1d

AllDebooks @Catsandbooks ok x 15h

AllDebooks @kelli7990 welcome. I've added you to the taglist for both buddyreads 🌞 15h

What the Wild Sea Can Be: The Future of the World�s Ocean | Helen Scales

I decided to start this book for the #naturalitsy buddy read. I bought this audiobook with a credit I got this month with my Libro FM membership. I‘m not very far into this book but I like it. It‘s interesting so far.

Trixie Belden and the Mystery of the Blinking Eye | Kathryn Kenny

#Naturalitsy #HyggeHourReadathon

Spending my #HyggeHour with Trixie & the gang for #BobWhiteBuddies & enjoying this cocoa custard Easter Bunny roll as my snack with tea. I‘m excited about this one (book 12) in the series because I remember the first 2 lines of the fortune Trixie gets when the Bob-Whites go to NYC.

Not looking forward to it being Monday tomorrow although this is a no-travel week for me, so hopefully a bit calmer.

TheBookHippie, Chrissyreadit, TheAromaofBooks, AllDebooks

TheBookHippie That roll!!!! 5d

AllDebooks So cute x 5d

Chrissyreadit 💛💛💛💛 5d

TheAromaofBooks I'm the opposite and can't remember this one at all! Maybe it will come back to me when I start reading 😂 5d

AllDebooks Again, my apologies for missing last week. https://litsy.com/p/cWNXNzY0WDRn 7d

Librarybelle Good morning! It‘s almost 7am on the US East Coast, and I‘ll soon make the trek to the grocery store for weekly groceries, in hopes to beat the crowds. Today marks the 250th anniversary of the beginning of the US Revolutionary War, and I enjoyed reading Heather Cox Richardson‘s remarks about the events leading up to it. They reminded me that ordinary people can do amazing tiny things. I‘m also enjoying the Golden Girls cozy mystery:

Murder by Cheesecake: A Golden Girls Cozy Mystery

TheBookHippie @Librarybelle loved Heathers words today!!! 7d

TheBookHippie Off to protest… ✊🏼 7d

AllDebooks @Librarybelle Her speech was so good. She is an inspiration. 7d

AllDebooks @TheBookHippie ✊️ 7d

AllDebooks I have been enraged by the Supreme Courts definition of a woman this week. Yet another backwards step and attack on marginalised people. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/apr/16/a-huge-reset-trans-rights-campaign... 7d

AllDebooks The upside is the outpouring of love and support for the trans community. 🏳️‍⚧️ I am a trans ally and will do all I can to support them through this latest sh*tshow. 7d

quietlycuriouskate Oh, you know, the usual (which is not necessarily a bad thing): groceries, housework, setting up my planner for next week, brief local walk. Now I've shut the door behind me and I'm actually going to READ until it's time to get the tea on. 7d

AllDebooks I've lost myself in #NaturaLitsy #buddyread

The Land of Little Rain

AllDebooks @quietlycuriouskate A bit of routine followed by a reading session. Perfect ☕️📚☕️ 7d

AllDebooks I was completely enamoured with this month's #RiseUpRead ❤️ It's in my top 10 poetry books of all time. Such a beautiful, important book. I'm thrilled to have found this author.

dabbe @AllDebooks I wonder how we'd all treat each other if we just thought of ourselves as earthlings and nothing more than that. 🤔 6d

dabbe Thanks for the tag, m'dear! 😍 Phoenix is enjoying UNBELIEVABLE weather this week! We had a big rain last night, and the high today is only supposed to be 75º F (24º C). I actually cried tears of joy. So, we're taking a LONG walk with the pups and currently have the windows open and no AC. We're thinking a lazy day of (you guessed it) reading. Happy Saturday, EVERYONE! 🌈 6d

DebinHawaii Thanks for the tag! I‘m having a slow start to the weekend & am mostly catching up from a busy workweek. I got home from the airport last night after all day meetings & crashed. Woke up late & just made it to the coffee shop, then errands & maybe a nap later. 6d
