#50kcelebration ☆ #giveaway50k ☆ @Crazeedi
Wow! 50K is amazing, @Crazeedi!
My favorite childhood memories center around water (probably because summers reach the 100s frequently here)... Swimming and floating on rafts in grandma's pool, followed up by cool aloe vera slices pressed to sunburns cut straight off the plant. Also, camping by creeks and the ocean. Family, outdoors, and relaxation are the best summer memories for me.
My #SummerSantaGoesPostal package is on the way! I‘m sorry I mailed it a day late.....unfortunately, life got in the way (we‘re moving 😫). But it should be to you early next week!! #HappyReading

Found a quiet cafe this afternoon to read and catch the last rays of warm sun (behind glass!). There‘s no denying Fall is here! Any good fall releases I should know about?!
The perfect summer to do list by!🌞📖🍉🍦

1. Picture taken in Washington Crossing PA while my grandchildren are attempting to cross the diving board.
2. War and Peace by Tolstoy - 60 hour audiobook
3. Heredity, Mission Impossible and Oceans 8
4. 👍🇱🇷💋❤️📚
5. 🍩🍓🍰🇬🇧📖 @Andrew65 @LibraryCin @Blueberry
I like novels with #blurredlines between the author's background and that of an author-character of the same name. J. M. Coetzee doesn't actually appear in Summertime because he's already dead: a biographer interviews people who knew him. The premise sounds indulgent but it doesn't read that way. It made me wonder- if you swapped out the name of the dead author would that make a difference? And if so, why? #HeatofJuly @BarbaraBB @Cinfhen
Yeah for Litsy Mail...... it‘s the most wonderful thing. Love you all!
@Soubhiville Only 4 days from your house to mine! #speedyairmail

🌼 I'm not into sno cone 😁
🌼 A little of both and I usually read something easy as I get easily distracted.
🌼 Hot hot hot! 21°C / 69°F
🌼 Iced water/coffee/tea
🌼 I grew up in Malaysia with tropical weather all year long. We don't have summer holidays but we have the long school holidays from Nov-Dec and we spent those time with our grandparents 😁
Thanks @Ke633 for #tellmetuesday! 🌷💕
Found this on Booklist Reader if anyone would like to play along

1. Homemade ice cream with friends yesterday!

3. Blueberries!
4. Yes.
5. Yes
#manicmonday @JoScho
1. Ice cream
2. Beach, but we typically don‘t go, because it‘s always too crowded!
3. Watermelon 🍉
4. This time of year we stay around New England, will travel for camping and such, but we only get so much nice weather here, that we don‘t leave it in the Summer!
5. More print usually, but this summer might be audiobooks!
#ManicMonday
Fun list for the kiddos! To me, a kid reading in the tub means, throw a bunch of pillows and blankets in there and hand them a book and a flashlight! Unfortunately for my boys, we only have a shower, maybe I‘ll stick them in the horse trough instead! 🤣

On it‘s way out!

1. Lords of Discipline by Pat Conroy. Not really set at the beach but it‘s set at the Citadel inCharleston, SC which is right on the ocean. Besides, any of Conroy‘s books are great beach reads.
2. Sea turtles 🐢
3. Maka‘i Beach (Police Beach) on Oahu. It‘s a great place for spotting sea lions and sea turtles and it‘s the beach that was the survivors‘ camp on Lost.

#FunintheSunSummerBookSwap is on it‘s way! Heads up to @BookaholicNatty thanks for organizing! @LitsyHappenings #bookswap #summerfun #summereads
Conversation is underway about Reading Envy Summer Reading. If you miss summer reading from childhood, this might be an option. Some have weighed in already; I'll be making final decisions May 1! Think the spirit of summer reading - not so much a readalong but fun reads, activities, challenges and more. In the Goodreads group here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/19305466-2018-summer-reading-discussion
Interesting article on JM Coetzee:

#twentybooksofsummer I finished! I started more than 3 weeks late and, I cheated on my 20 books by adding another 10 in throughout July and August. But it was a good challenge and a lot of fun 😊📖📚📚📚📚📚📚📖
Included were fiction and nonfiction, an audio book and an ebook, a young adult book, a cookbook, a memoir, and an old children's book!
@tjramsey75 OMG you completely spoiled me!!! I have been wanting to read all of these!! I always need page flags and notepads, and those sloths!!! You're the best!!!
I'm getting excited seeing everyone's unboxing!!! I'll be doing mine later today. Our realtor will be here any minute, and we've been running around since 7:00 this morning. I wanted to have time to really enjoy!!
#sizzlingsummerbooks #backyard
This is a recycled pic of my first Litsy post. This is my aunts backyard, one of my favorite places. I love summertime backyard reading.
A two hour kayak ride and forgot to take my book along. 😥 I probably could have read a chapter or two. Hope everyone is having a fabulous day - at work or play! ☺️
I am not amused. It wouldn't be bad if Portland and surrounding areas believed in central air.
It never gets hot they say. 🙄
#ihatesummer

OMG my heart is so full right now. My Summer Santa went above and beyond and sent me the most heartfelt and amazing package! Not only did a get some coveted picks from my TBR but other amazing picks, amazing Bookish goodies and horse pictures and more! Thank you so much Jess, I am at a loss for words on how thankful I am.
#summersantagoespostal #summersolsticebookexchange @BookishMarginalia @MrsAHintz I love all my bookish goodies and the Irish Whiskey 🥃 Fudge. The time you took to do the write ups for each of the books was perfect. Will enjoy reading each of these books. Just have to decide which one I want to read first, I am thinking Rattle by Fiona Cummings.
Thank you for the thoughtful gifts! The zipper pouch from the strand literally had me tearing up (I ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ that bookstore). I ate four of the cookies for breakfast (yum!). The books also look wonderful (I read and loved, but don't own aj fikry -great to have a copy), Not heard of the other two but excited to read them! And the adorable notecards! Thank you! Ooh and the washi tape - my kids and I use it all the time. #summersantagoespostal
About to open!!! Love the wrapping paper!! Cannot wait!!
AHHHH I'm so excited! Thank you @snacksinthestacks for the books and goodies!! And thanks to @BookishMarginalia for putting this whole thing together! #summersantagoespostal #summersolsticebookexchange
It's here!!! I can't wait to open this bad boy! #summersantagoespostal #litsybookexchange #summersolstice
I'm currently in the summer one. I convinced my husband to take a blanket and go to the river so we could tan and be outside, and we both crisped and got eaten by mosquitoes. He's really against it now! 😂
Summer Reading program!?❤️?? I was the 17th to sign up 30 minutes in, I like to imagine there were people camped out to get in? #riotgrams. This sums all of my "summer" reads.
Everything is wrapped and ready to go out! I've been slow on this (sorry!) - so if you haven't gotten your box yet, it MIGHT be from me. #summersolsticebookexchange #summersantagoespostal @BookishMarginalia
