I'm catching up on my Seasonal Readalongs this afternoon. This is such a beautiful book. Divided into section Winter, Spring, Summer, and Autumn. I've really enjoyed my reread.

"Autumn is the season of the Equinox, of fierce gales and big tides.....

I've gathered my #SeptemberStack.
Anything with Summer or September in the Title, Readalongs, and Challenges.

It's Hot and humid here in Oklahoma so it was lovely to escape to a Shetland Summer. You'll find some beautiful pictures of the Simmer Dim on shetland.org. https://www.shetland.org/blog/gallery-simmer-dim-in-shetland and video as well.

I'm back to my Shetland reread as a way to escape the heat. I would gladly take the weather at Jimmy Perez's house rather than here in Oklahoma.

Continuing my Seasonal Read with Summer:
"Midsummer in Shetland is a season of long days, and in June there are times when the sun seems to slide towards the horizon and then reappear almost immediately. In midsummer the sun is up for eighteen hours and fifty minutes, contrasting with just five hours and thirty minutes in midwinter."

Rereading for #travelbybook #shetland and I just want to give Jimmy Perez a hug, tell him everything will be okay, and make him a cup of tea. 🫖

Last night I finished my reread of Shetland Book 4. Husband was working late so I 'waited' up for Him. 😉

Loved seeing Jimmy Perez back on his home island. I'm assuming since author Ann Cleeves actually worked at Bird Observatory on Fair Isle at one time, descriptions of life there are pretty accurate, excepting all the murders.
