I‘m giving this a soft pick because usually I love this series, but I confess I was rather bored with this one and felt it was very slow and took forever to get interesting. I had a hard time concentrating on the audiobook. Might have been better with my eyeballs. 3⭐️

FINALLY! After 2 weeks of either +90°F temps and 99.9% humidity or just flat out rain, I am finally back outside enjoying some Outdoor Sunday Reading Time ????? Counting this as my #HyggeHourReadathon because I also have a glass of Blueberry Watermelon sparkling water which is delicious ? @TheBookHippie @Chrissyreadit @AllDebooks

Fog Magic | Julia L. Sauer

Pickpick

This vintage children's book has been on my TBR for a while! It's set in rural Nova Scotia village on the foggy Bay of Fundy. I grew up across that bay in New Brunswick. So I have deep affection for fog & believe it is magical. For 10 year old Greta, fog signals an opportunity to slip away to another time. She visits her village as it was a century before and the history of that place. There was a lot I liked!The rooted magic, descriptions of 👇

merelybookish place. Sauer is an American but summered in NS and clearly tried to incorporate local culture. In some ways, it reminded me of Alison Uttley's A Traveller in Time (high praise!) but I also found some of the writing clunky and got bored in sections. But I starred a few passages too. 6d
merelybookish Apparently Rebecca Stead is a fan and I love her tagged book. I think there is something about fantasy that's rooted in a real place that really appeals to me! 6d
Butterfinger I have always loved fog. 6d
merelybookish @Butterfinger Me too! I missed it when I lived elsewhere! 5d

Modern day time travel done extremely well! I had avoided this one because I was skeptical. I'm glad I finally took the plunge. Many life lessons Oona learns along the way are good ones for the reader too. All kids of good twisty twists.

AileenRR Loved this one a lot 1w

The Seven Year Slip | Ashley Poston

I was hooked from the opening chapter and the great dialogue and next thing I know, I'm sighing and giggling as the book progresses and around the last idk 20-25%, this book had me crying. Granted by then it had gotten to a particular moment of grief, and it triggered my own which was cathartic.

I have too many feels from this one.

I‘ve had the tagged book on my TBR for a long time. And it‘s going to have to wait several more months since I don‘t have it with me.

3.2⭐️ to be honest, I struggled with this one. Several times I really considered DNF, but I‘ve heard how good it was. And I‘ll admit, closer to the end it was much more enjoyable. But I seriously started this book on June 10 and just finished today. Almost a month for a book that‘s a little over 200 pages. I truly think I kept it up just because it was June‘s fable pic. Oh well, better books ahead.

Luke-XVX At times it felt truly impenetrable 1w
shanaqui I was not a fan either, though I read it aaages ago. I couldn't quite understand the hype, unfortunately. 1w
