I love reading a book with summer in the title in the summer and I want to go to NYC and do all the things Sawyer and Nick do on their Summer Fridays
Taking some liberties with the syllable pattern today.
Today's compliment:
"I'm not embarrassed by
anything you wear, Mom."
High praise from my almost-16-year-old.

pickSoft pick - 3/5
This book contains mostly paintings of women holding things. Some of the text is purely descriptive, used to describe the paintings. But some poetry can also be found, always in relation to the paintings and to the concept of “holding things.“
Like all art and poetry books, some pieces are more appealing than others, or are resonating more than others with me. Hence the soft pick.
pickThis book will stay with me for a while. Knowing the authors background and that she died the year this was published made this a thoughtful read for me. A story about relationships, living and dying and more. I loved it. I‘ve read a couple of her books now and loved them all. A talent lost too soon.
I read some, then skimmed some and then read the ending, and I do think Alderton did something really interesting here, but I just couldn't force myself through the incredibly depressing part to read the book as a whole.
Also, as with another book I read that was set right before lockdown, I found myself worrying about how the characters would manage with this horrible new challenge in front of them. Why do authors do this?!

pickI know this isn‘t actually a scientifically researched and data backed theory and that it is a borrowed concept, but I really enjoyed this book and found the reframing of some of my problems to be quite helpful.
