#NaturaLitsy

Our July #buddyread is Andrea Wulf's 2015 biography of Alexander Von Humboldt, following the Prussian naturalist from childhood through to his travels in Europe and Latin America.

Here‘s how I‘m doing on the #naturalitsy buddy read. I‘ve read the January, February and March books. Now to catch up, I‘ll have to read the April, May, June books and maybe the July book if I have time. I don‘t know how long it‘ll take me to read them because it takes me awhile to read nonfiction. I hope I can eventually catch up with everyone else who is participating. I‘d like to be able to participate in the discussions.

Beautifully descriptive vignettes of summer time on an island. While Sophia drove me crazy with her frequent crying and protestations, this shows a loving bond between grandmother and granddaughter. A nice escape and perfect for #MidsummerSolace #Naturalitsy #LitSolace #192025 #1972

This book is a balm for the soul. Calm, quiet, relaxing, filled with love. It was a perfect choice for #Naturalitsy #MidsummerSolace , as it really did provide solace for me in these stressful times. Escapism at its best. @AllDebooks @TheBookHippie @Chrissyreadit #LitSolace

#Naturalitsy #HyggeHourReadathon

I realized I didn‘t finish this one a couple of weeks ago 🤷🏻‍♀️ so once again I am spending my #HyggeHour with Trixie for #BobWhiteBuddies along with some chocolate & iced tea because it‘s humid tonight.

Mood is sad & tired & not ready for Monday but I leave Tuesday evening for a work trip to Boise for a conference & a stopover on Oregon for the weekend to see my family, so at least the week will go quickly.

It‘s pouring rain out, so I cannot use my porch. Consequently, my photos are all featuring the same table. Too lazy to be creative. This came in the mail today. I decided to start in June, rather than October where the book begins. Already just a few pages in & I am hooked. #Naturalitsy #Litsolace
