BooksandCoffee4Me Autumn is my favorite season also. Love the cool breezes, but have to admit I love the longer days of June. 😊💛 1w

JenlovesJT47 💛🐝🖤 I‘m in Florida and I‘m already dreading how hot it‘s going to get this summer 🥵 1w
dabbe May I ask where you live? I'm from hotter-than-hell Phoenix! You captured the piercing hot sun with your words and pic! 💛🐝🖤 1w
Reggie My countdown for the year ends with the summer solstice because that‘s when daylight starts getting shorter and we start sliding towards fall. 1w
Kristy_K @BooksandCoffee4Me If only we could have long days with cool breezes. 7d
Kristy_K @dabbe I live in Southern California, but this picture is actually Oslo (where I‘m traveling now). It was 80-100 degrees the week I left So Cal and I was looking forward to the cold but the sun seems just as hot here and I ended sunburnt lol. I can‘t imagine summers in Phoenix! It‘s bad enough in So Cal lol. 7d
Kristy_K @JenlovesJT47 and you have humidity too, right? I‘d never leave the house lol. 7d
Eggs I feel this! Central Texas now: highs each day 98+ 🔥 7d
bellabella It was 94 yesterday with no breeze and humid. It isn't as bad as some of yours, but for me it was awful. 😂 7d
lil1inblue This makes me glad I'm in Michigan. 😅 😉 7d
JenlovesJT47 Yes! I lived in Cali for 2 years for college and it was just as hot there but no humidity. The humidity is the worst here and in Georgia 🥵 7d
dabbe @Kristy_K I lived in San Diego for a few years, and I was amazed at how hot it got! Of course I couldn't afford to live along the beach, so I lived inland, and the desert there is just as hot as Phoenix. How lovely to be in Norway! I visited Bergen back in 1990 (😱) and thought it the most beautiful country I'd ever seen. Enjoy your trip! 💚💜💚 7d
Kristy_K @Eggs It seems too early in the year to be that hot! 6d
Kristy_K @dabbe Thank you! 6d
Kristy_K @bellabella 94 is still awful! 6d
DebinHawaii I‘m already ready for fall & winter! 😅 💛🐝🖤 5d

A beautifully crafted book. Writer Peter Carey‘s playbook in many ways and it was through an interview with him mentioning the book that I discovered this truly incredible family story.

My hubs went up north for Easter weekend hunting. He very proudly surprised me by bringing these home for me. He doesn‘t read, but they‘re his taste if he would. I, however, don‘t want to read a single one and feel terrible about it. But come on man, you couldn‘t just go for the easy win with some romance? 😂

Ruthiella It‘s the thought that counts! 😅 1mo
Avanders 😂 aww that‘s a sweet try 🤭 3w

I think the sun is going down on my last summery day 😭 so I am sitting on my balcony reading about books and drinking a birthday bottle. I think the tagged book will be the one I take to the Sydney Writer‘s Festival this year to read. Turns out my parents will be in old Sydney town for dad‘s drs appointments to do with his accident not this January but the last so we will catch up for dinner both nights and they have booked the same hotel as me.

TrishB Sounds like a plan. Love your glass ❤️ 1mo
LapReader Thankyou @TrishB It was a gift from an old man whose wife I work with. She is way past retirement. I don‘t have a license so he would drive me home from work once a week in exchange for the use of my sauna as it helped with his emphysema which he died of eventually. They were his mother‘s and so delicate. I cherish them. Very generous people. 1mo
TrishB Oh that‘s a lovely story too (sad but lovely!). Beautiful and good memories. 1mo
CarolynM This was such an interesting book. I‘ve been thinking about it a lot since Suzanne‘s daughter‘s book has been out🙂 1mo

Today‘s Book Nook scores to entertain myself over my quiet Easter weekend. Yin yoga this morning really helped with my dicky hip. I need to get myself sorted as I got myself a showgirl gig. It may just be the greatest achievement of my life! The Angelica Banks and Judy Blume are for my book crazy niece. I could have filled another bag but it may not have been a good look. Libraries are the best invention ever. Medicine is great but books are fab.

Bookwormjillk Good luck with your gig! 1mo
CarolynM Some great titles there! Congrats on the showgirl gig, sounds like fun 💃 1mo

I‘ve read a little bit of Oodgeroo‘s poetry before, but I didn‘t realise how funny she is.

Another tasty DELICIOUS TONIGHT recipe that isn‘t remotely the same colour as the example picture. Oh well. The lentils in this soup cooked down beautifully and the overall flavour is great—which is a relief, because the recipe made a TON of it. That‘s my supper sorted through the weekend.

TheBookHippie I had this tonight and forgot to take a picture but I was remembering our conversation about this very thing! 3mo
xicanti @TheBookHippie so much intense filtering. Sigh. 3mo
TheBookHippie @xicanti seriously!!! 3mo

Gotta say, I've wanted to read this for months and I almost bailed... The grown up part of me was shocked by the transient and neglectful lives, the use of drugs and apathy to do much. But remembering the era and the youth made me re consider. I particularly liked the last 50 pages or so as it felt she was accepting herself and her friends.

HardcoverHearts I felt the same about this. It felt like a book very much of its time. The lack of any backstory to the characters made me feel continually unmoored. It was an effective choice but one that made it almost impossible for me to connect to the characters or plot. 3mo

Last night‘s scores from the Book Swap on my way home from pole dancing. I love a good magazine.
