#BookHaul from The Book Barn in Niantic, CT. Can you believe I visited exactly one structure in their sprawling, 3-location empire before my hands got too cold and I quit? 😅🥶 My wallet gives thanks to Mother Nature.

JamieArc Have you read the tagged? If not, you‘re in for a treat. I really loved it, and while I rarely reread, this is one I definitely want to. 6d
monalyisha @JamieArc I haven‘t! And yay! You know I take your endorsements seriously. 😉 While browsing, I sat down in a worn orange chair and read the first few pages to make sure I liked the writing. I was sold. 6d
JamieArc I read it at the height of the pandemic and it was just lovely. I have an orange chair in my office that I use to take reading breaks 🧡 6d

slategreyskies I received The Collected Poems of May Sarton as a gift a few years ago. It was a used copy, and when I opened it up to begin reading, we were both surprised to find out that it was signed! I treasure it now, even more so than I would have otherwise. Also, I have so many of her journals as well. Her writing calms me. 6d
AmyG Other Birds was so lovely. 6d
monalyisha @slategreyskies That‘s all so wonderful! I know nothing about her, actually. Good to know my instincts can be trusted. 😊 6d
Tamra The Last Report is one of my all time favorite novels. 💙 6d
Hooked_on_books You found some good ones! An Immense World is phenomenal. 6d

Her sentence about having her “real life” just resonates. Summer is a lovely season. It also tends to be a busy social season. Routine is shifted, personal time is allocated differently, and I find my reading life has to become one I fight for in the summer months. It‘s nice to be able to shift in and out of real life for a bit.

I am still slowly savoring May Sarton‘s words. She‘s got me contemplating the clusters of my life and finding comfort in the knowledge they occur. I am hoping to embrace a brief cluster of bookish solitude this weekend. 🌻💛

“Begin here. It is raining”

Aptly, it‘s raining here too. And as May describes the rain ticking at the window, I hear it too.

Jess_Read_This @JanuarieTimewalker13 😊 Me too! It felt so right. 10mo
Jess_Read_This @batsy I‘m loving it so much. She makes a comment about not liking people feeling they are intimates with her after a prior book. And so much of what she‘s written in this one has resonated to my core that I fear I‘m falling into that category of admirer that she doesn‘t care for! It‘s my first encounter with Sarton. Have you read other books by her? 10mo
Jess_Read_This @MaureenMc oh wow! What a book coincidence! How are you liking it so far? I‘m loving it quite a bit. Have you read other books by her? I was telling my husband about what I loved so far and he asked how I learned of her. I wish I could remember who somewhere in book social media had posted about her so I could thank the person. 10mo
MaureenMc @Jess_Read_This I‘m not very far into it, but I‘m enjoying it. This is my first of hers I‘ve read. I can‘t remember how I heard of her either! Maybe Nancy Pearl? Or Modern Mrs Darcy/What Should I Read Next? 10mo
batsy @Jess_Read_This I'd forgotten she made that comment 😁 I'm due for a reread I think because I found it very comforting, like a balm, even though she doesn't sugarcoat any aspect of life. This is the only one I've read and I should fix that. I bought it years ago because someone recommended it to read when I was dealing with grief. Not to be corny but it was one of those books that saved me ❤️ 10mo
Jess_Read_This @batsy I don‘t think you sound corny at all about it saving you. I‘m so glad you found it when you most needed it ❤️ I agree so much with you on finding it to be a balm. It‘s been that way for me. I needed this book and after two library renewals in, I know I need to buy a copy. (edited) 10mo

I didn‘t see any five star reviews on Goodreads for books that started with J, so I‘m going with this one that I gave four stars to when I read it.
