AllDebooks @TEArificbooks will do. Glad to have you join us x 13mo

IndoorDame I‘m feeling SO ready for spring!!! 💚 13mo

mcctrish So ready for spring ( and to kick the cold I‘ve been fighting some version of all February) I‘ve got a hold on one book and I‘m going to see if I can find the other somewhere else ) 13mo

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm We‘ve been having mini fool‘s springs here. I am SO ready for the real thing! 😅❤️ 13mo

Bookwormjillk I just stood around in the cold wind and rain for 90 minutes watching my daughter play soccer. I am definitely in! 13mo

AllDebooks @Librarybelle I feel the same x 13mo

AllDebooks @mcctrish oh no, wishing you well soon x 13mo

AllDebooks @MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm I've lost count of how many warm spells. I can almost see the shoots reaching for the sun, then we get another cold snap and they all shout Nope, and snuggle back down. In my head anyways 🤪 13mo

AllDebooks @Bookwormjillk brrrr, that is devotion x 13mo

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk you need one of those plastic pods to sit in ( many a inclement weather soccer game I wish I‘d had one back in the day) 13mo

Bookwormjillk @mcctrish that‘s just what I was telling my daughter and she says I‘m sooooo embarrassing 🤣🤣🤣 13mo

mcctrish @Bookwormjillk just wait until you cover it with stickers, then it will be really cringe 🤣🤣 13mo

Read4life I‘m looking forward to the event. I‘m typically a fall & winter girl but I‘m looking forward to spring this year. 13mo

dabbe I must be the only one who hates for winter to leave because that means we're just closer to hell in July (it's already in the low 80s). Still, I'd love me some hygge, so please count me in! 💚
#nothingbetterthanwinterinphoenix 🤩 13mo

BookwormAHN Looking forward to it. @dabbe No you're not, Louisiana is hell in the summer and we have hurricane season 🙈🙉🙊 13mo

Julsmarshall Sounds like fun! 13mo

dabbe @BookwormAHN You win! At least we don't have the humidity that you do! Though we do have monsoons and haboobs! 💚💙💚 13mo

kspenmoll I am so in. Drab, rainy here today! 13mo

Catsandbooks I'm in for hygge spring! @BookwormAHN @dabbe same here in Mississippi. It's been so nice here lately, but that will all disappear so soon 😩 13mo

julieclair How fun! Hygge seems so easy for Fall and Winter, it will be interesting to incorporate it into Spring. 🌸 13mo

Texreader @Gilly18 I enjoy a number of these events too. The hosts are just plain terrific people—well so is everyone who are here. 13mo

BethM Yes! 13mo

dabbe @Catsandbooks I pre-feel your pain! 🤩 13mo

PaperbackPirate @dabbe We‘re picking weeds while everyone else is shoveling snow! 😂☀️ 13mo

PaperbackPirate I kept forgetting to do the hygge hour so I‘m ready to try again. Happy Spring! 13mo

dabbe @PaperbackPirate Same here! 🤩😍😂 13mo

Spring | Ali Smith

Spending my Sunday evening reading (alongside my flatmate who is also reading from the other sofa - it's a very lovely vibe), and I adored this part of Ali Smith's 'Spring' so much that I had to share it💓

Have you read any Ali Smith? Which book is your favourite?✨️

Spring | Ali Smith

so-so

I liked the previous two books in this series, but this one just didn‘t quite work for me. I appreciate the themes and Smith‘s anger, but I felt like I couldn‘t quite grab onto it. Not sure if it was me or the book. I will say I absolutely love the US covers of this series—they‘re gorgeous!

Graywacke It‘s not just you. I also found it very light. Does still has her unrestrainable cleverness. 3y

One of many Italianate novels with this theme --
#SavvySettings Day 24 #RemoteInn @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

LindaLappin so many wonderful novels & creative nonfiction with this theme -- from the popular Eat Pray Love & Under the Tuscan Sun -- or the literary masterpieces DHLawrence's Etruscan Places or E.M. Forster, a Room with a View, Shirley Hazzard, The Bay of Noon... 3y

The 3rd book in Smith‘s Seasonal Quartet.

Richard is making some big life decisions and grieving a good friend.

Brit is following Florence on her quest to find a place on a photo.

A book about the important decisions on life, immigration and as usual there‘s focus on culture. This time especially the authors Katherine Mansfield and Rilke.

5th book finished for #MarvellousMarch
