pickAnother series I'm rereading this year - absolutely LOVED the Swallows & Amazons books when I first read them, so I'm going through them again. This is the second book in the series, full of exploring, pirates, shipwrecks, mountain climbing, caves, and more! Every page was a delight.
Through a series of events, I ended up with TWO beautiful, hardcover editions of this book. I would genuinely love to send this copy on to someone - I hate to just chuck it in the giveaway box if there is someone here in Litsy Land who would like it!! Let me know if you are interested in having me send it your way!!
pickI love reading while doing random chores. Super busy weekend, but I did finish this absolutely delightful book while shelling black beans harvested from my garden! Swallowdale was everything I wanted from a sequel & more - can't wait to read Peter Duck! Only clocked 1hr 25min for #24b4Monday & #SummersEndReadathon yesterday, which leaves me at almost 7hrs for the weekend. However, made lots of home project progress!

Almost done with this one, but time to call it a night. 3.25hrs of reading today, so a total of almost 5.5hrs altogether so far for #24b4Monday and #SummersEndReadathon . Lots of projects scheduled tomorrow so I don't anticipate much reading time, but this book is such a delight that I don't mind taking my time.

Just ten minutes of reading so far today for the #24b4Monday and #SummerEndReadathon readathons, but I am already so happy to be reunited with the Swallows!! Busy morning working on our remodeling project this morning, but anticipating some solid reading time this afternoon.

PS Can you believe I snagged this gorgeous copy on eBay for less than $10?!
Anyone else participating in the next #24B4Monday readathon? I just realized that my husband is going to be gone that Saturday, so I may have an opportunity to clock some serious hours!!

#EmojiMadness Day 19: Two novels which immediately came to mind with today‘s 🏕 prompt. Classics that I have yet to read.
I love all the characters here, but Susan is recently relatable. #britishYA #yaycamping
pickChildhood is magic. There was nothing I wanted more as a child than to sleep under the stars and build fires at my little camp. I love reading Ransome because he reminds me of the two childhoods I had: the real one of adventures and exploration and the imagined one in which I went beyond the confines of my 13 mi^2 island. Both were magical.
