The #FictionalTraveler prompt for July is #Water . Hopefully our reading will bring some refreshing fictional escapism for those of us who have been dealing with oppressive heat. 🥵💦💧💦

What will everyone be reading?

julieclair I‘ll be reading 3d
julieclair Oops! I missed @OriginalCyn620 and @MatchlessMarie when tagging. Hope I have everyone now. 💙 3d
MatchlessMarie I‘ve been doing some of these prompts out of order. I read Problematic Summer Romance by Ali Hazelwood for this prompt this month. It mostly takes place in Italy near the Ionian coast. I also added Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter to this prompt on SG which I hope to get to this year too. 3d

I'm starting on a read through of Caldecott award books and this is one of the most gorgeous ones I've ever read.

#WhereAreYouMonday

Mesopotamia 631 BC
London 1840
Turkey 2014

How else could I experience theses places in these times if it weren‘t for stories? How bereft my life would be without books. How thankful I am to be a reader!

AmyG I can‘t ever imagine not reading. What would I do with my time? Where would I go? 🤣 1mo

Another beautifully written novel by Elif Shafak. Humanity is united by water as this story illustrates in the telling of Arthur who lives near the River Thames in the 1840s, Narin who lives by the River Tigris in 2014, Zaleekhah who lives in a houseboat on the River Thames in 2018.

I loved this one. It‘s about how one drop of water can connect us. It‘s told via the unique voices of three people. Arthur who born very near the Thames, Narin who lives near the Tigris and Zaleekah who is renting a houseboat on the Thames. Beautifully written and very moving at times, I was very immersed in these characters‘ lives and found it a page turner.

I probably (ok, DEFINITELY) won‘t finish both of these in May since I still have my April pick, The Ghost Map, to read. But they‘re in the queue!

TheBookHippie I enjoyed the Dinosaur book very much. 2mo

I am not at all current on pop music, which really hampers our bar trivia performance. Our trivia host gives weekly hints, and they were having a category on Coachella, so I did some research before, and, not only did I learn about an excellent song and artist, but it was a trivia question (we still came in 5th, but I got that question right 😜)

TheBookHippie Yay for getting a question right! 2mo
Kitta Great song! 2mo
lil1inblue I am never current on music, either. Thanks for sharing this - I dig the song. 2mo
