Started this one for #NYRBBookClub. Surrounded by dogs. Drinking tea. Life is still good.

Irretrievable | Theodor Fontane

This one is a liiiiiiiitle slower paced than my last read. From Drake on the high seas to Schleswig-Holstein. Interestingly, they both have a lot of Lutherans running about.

Leftcoastzen 🐶🐶❤️It‘s a slower pace but I‘m enjoying it .about 100 pages in. 5y

Aimeesue @Leftcoastzen Oh, I‘m enjoying it; it‘s just an adjustment. I did kind of want to hie off to Scicily with Baron Steen to watch Etna erupt, though. 😁 (edited) 5y

merelybookish I've started to skin the political sections. 🙈 5y

Aimeesue @merelybookish Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do to get through things. 😂 5y

Notes on a Nervous Planet | Matt Haig

Just FYI: It is super hard to be anxious while covered in blankets and dogs. I recommend sleepy dog piles to EVERYONE.

DGRachel YES! Dogs are the best medicine. 😍 5y

Aimeesue @DGRachel We adopted Stella as an unofficial “therapy” dog for my daughter, who has sometimes debilitating anxiety. Best decision we ever made - she‘s helped so much! 5y

Leftcoastzen Nice! 5y

LeahBergen Awww! ❤️ 5y

Tambourines to Glory: A Novel | Langston Hughes

The puppas are not enjoying this walk in the rain, yet they INSIST on going out. 🤷🏻‍♀️
Listening to Hughes, fabulously narrated (and sung! In multiple voices!) by the incredibly talented Myra Lucretia Taylor.
James McBride used a lot of similar themes in Deacon King Kong, which I read and loved recently. Both books are great.

LeahBergen Their raincoats!! 💙💙 5y

Aimeesue @LeahBergen Stella@would wear hers all winter if you let her. Suzie, OTOH, is all "I'm a LAB. I LAUGH AT THE RAIN!" But I hate drying them off, so coats it is. ? 5y

Big Sky | Kate Atkinson

Reading exactly what I want before tackling the #netgalley #ARCs
Book support by #Suzie

QUERY: I have also borrowed the ebook from the library so I can read in bed later. Is this a bookish faux pas?

eanderson Nope, I do the same thing! 5y

AlaMich I do that all the time! I read the print version during the day when there‘s good light and the library ebook version on my Kobo at night. 🤓 5y

Aimeesue @eanderson @AlaMich *Whew* I hate wearing my glasses in bed, but I need them to read. With the Kindle I can just make the font bigger! 5y

A Boy Called Christmas | Matt Haig

#Audiobookwalk with the puppas in the misty drizzle today. The Stephen Fry narration helped - it's fabulous. Stella is a delicate Pibble flower and hates to get wet, so she's wearing her cashmere sweater. 😂

jillrhudy She would. What a diva! 5y

Aimeesue @jillrhudy She really, really is. Big spoiled baby. 🙄 5y

DGRachel Love this! Bailey refuses to go outside if it‘s drizzling and also hates clothes. Rainy season is miserable for her. 😂 5y

Aimeesue @DGRachel At least Stella doesn't mind her sweater or her jacket. Not about to try a rain hat on her though! 😂 They really are big babies. 5y

Hoot | Carl Hiaasen

#Audiobookwalk in the drizzle. Thankful that the heat has broken, but the humidity is still killing me. The dogs had to wear their jackets because the pit bull is a big baby and hates getting wet. 😄
Sadly, given the book, we did not see any burrowing owls.

MicheleinPhilly Pickles hates getting wet AND hates wearing clothes. And she is sadly TERRIFIED of umbrellas. ☹️ 5y

TheSpineView They look so cute in their matching rain jackets! 5y

Megabooks I have to bribe Henry with treats, and I can‘t carry an umbrella. I have to get wet too! 🤦🏻‍♀️ 5y

jillrhudy They have raincoats! Ladybug, like Stella, is NOT a fan of rain hitting her in the face. 5y

Aimeesue @MicheleinPhilly Oh, poor soggy Pickles! There's really nothing worse than soggy limp pickles, now that I think about it. 😁 5y

Aimeesue @TheSpineView They say thanks, and please dog cookies. (They always pretend they don't know each other. Like we can't tell with those matching jackets.🙄) (edited) 5y

Aimeesue @Megabooks I'm sure Henry just wants to share the sensory experience with you! "See, human? Rain is TERRIBLE!" 5y

Aimeesue @jillrhudy A soggy Ladybug probably weighs a ton, huh? At least S&S are both short haired! 5y

jillrhudy @aimeesue weighs a ton and smells rotten! 5y

The Scandalous Sisterhood of Prickwillow Place | Julie Berry

#audiobookwalk on the glorious Fourth.
#pibble
#Stella
#Suzie

Aimeesue …and the ridiculously HOT Fourth. It is stupid hot out. If there aren't violent clashes between various protest and right wing Nazi groups in D.C. today, I will be very surprised. This is a recipe for disaster. 5y

jillrhudy Oh I hope and pray not. 5y

Aimeesue @jillrhudy Just got an flash flood warning on my phone, so there's going to be some rain today. That might dampen things enough to keep people at home, maybe? 5y

jillrhudy It did rain, but the Faithful got to hear that inspiring and timeless story from His Nibs about how the revolutionary soldiers shut down the airports. 5y

Aimeesue @jillrhudy 😂😂😂 He's such an idiot. 5y

Lord Emsworth's Annotated Whiffle: The Care of the Pig | James Hogg

I love #SlightlyFoxed Day. The dogs are less impressed. Tagged book is the subject of the first essay in this issue. 🐖 🐖 🐖

LeahBergen I hope mine arrives soon! 😍 6y

Aimeesue @LeahBergen I both love it and fear its arrival. It always means more books are added to the TBR list. How can I POSSIBLY not buy Lord Emsworth‘s Annotated Whipple now??? (edited) 6y

The Erratics | Vicki Laveau-Harvie

Have convinced #Stella that the footstool is a completely suitable place for sitting, in lieu of my lap, but she keeps throwing me the side eye if I dare to move my foot. Apparently the pibble princess requires pillows and support for her chin.
#Suzie is much less particular.

Aimeesue Stella would also like to note that The Erratics won the Stella Prize. Although not the Stella behind the prize, she nevertheless approves. (edited) 6y

DGRachel Too cute! 6y
