#MidsummerSolace

I hope you've enjoyed our #buddyreads 📚

This is an informal reading discussion for the tagged book. Please let us know your thoughts.

📢 I will post the discussion thread for A Wilder Way around late July, to give our 🇺🇸 readers a chance to catch up.

Librarybelle I did enjoy this one—lots of descriptive passages that made me feel like I was on the island. There is also a solid relationship between Sophia and Mimi, though Sophia did drive me nuts at times! 16h

Bookwormjillk I have The Summer Book out from the library but as usual I am behind. I'll check back in when I finally get to it. 14h
AllDebooks @Bookwormjillk thankfully, it's a short read. I hope you enjoy it x 13h
IriDas I really enjoyed this book. I loved that it was a series of self-contained chapters. The relationship between the girl and her grandmother was very real, nobody was the “font of wisdom” so to speak, they were both just fully human. My Alma mater has several of her books. I think I will have to check them out when school starts back. 11h

Librarybelle Good Morning! It‘s a foggy morning in my area this morning, and my head is certainly feeling the weather. This is a quiet weekend for me, so hopefully my usual reading and naps, as well as prepping for #ChristiesCapers and #LiteraryCrew discussions. 3d
AllDebooks Wishing you a peaceful weekend x 3d

#FridayNightShare #MidsummerSolace

🌞 I don't have a go-to book when I'm feeling low or struggling. Just the act of isolating to dive in a book brings me peace and comfort.
🌞 My favorite format is physical books 📚 While I read a huge ton of magazines online, ebooks I rarely read. I just can't do audio.
🌞 I read mostly inside. During the day, on my couch in the living room, at night in bed ;)

@Chrissyreadit @TheBookHippie

kspenmoll Poetry in many forms I find uplifting as well as anything by John O'Donohue. 4d
JulietteReadsALot @kspenmoll Thanks for the recommendation ;) 4d

#MidsummerSolace

It's time for our last #FridayNightShare (for now). It will be back in December for #MidwinterSolace

🌞 What's your go-to book when you're feeling low or struggling?
🌞 Which format do you prefer? 📚 🎧
🌞 Where is your most ideal reading location or environment?

@Chrissyreadit @TheBookHippie

kspenmoll Go to books: poetry & anything by John O'Donohue. I love physical books best, but kindle/phone for traveling, waiting for appointments. I love to read in my office in my couch with my cats & on porch. 4d
AllDebooks ❤️ Thanks for your great answers. There is nothing like a tangible book to absorb yourself in the story. I find a 🐈 essential for comfort. 4d
AllDebooks My go to to destress are always short stories, particularly nature or folklore genres. My favourites are The Mistletoe Bride by Kate Mosse, Januaries by Olivie Blake and 4d
AllDebooks I prefer reading outdoors or tucked up in bed. I prefer reading a book to ebooks but, you know, shelf space is limited! 🤷‍♀️ I've just got into audioboooks over the last 2 years, and they have been a gamechanger. Very relaxing listening to them before falling asleep. 4d

Beautifully descriptive vignettes of summer time on an island. While Sophia drove me crazy with her frequent crying and protestations, this shows a loving bond between grandmother and granddaughter. A nice escape and perfect for #MidsummerSolace #Naturalitsy #LitSolace #192025 #1972
