Who is the mystery sender? 🥰😃

Life and a slump made May a lighter reading month for me. I enjoyed the The Island of Missing Trees and Spring Magic was an absolute delight and helped me wade through May. Have you read any of these? 📚🤓🤩 What helps you get through reading slumps?

🦋 I love the warmer weather and longer days! (but suffer itchy eyes from the tree pollen)
🦋 I like thrillers and mysteries in fall, wintry books in winter and summery books in summer. Spring is for everything else!

Share your spring thought, Littens!

“Catherine often wondered whether anthropologists became so absorbed in studying the ways of strange societies that they forgot what was the usual thing in their own (p. 21)”

Who knew the lives of anthropologists could be so interesting? Catherine is a marvelous outside observer to group as she is tossed by one for a younger student. The British wit, stoicism, and wry observations are perfection.

LeahBergen Pym! ❤️❤️ 5y
Jess_Read_This @LeahBergen I adore her. This one is nice but it I enjoyed Excellent Women a bit better. I think I‘m going to try Jane and Prudence after this too. ❤️ 5y

#currentlyreading My #Anglophile self has had this one on my To-Read list for awhile. Excited to finally get started! A Novel about the life and loves of Winston Churchill‘s scandalous American mother.

It‘s June so that it means it‘s time for a wedding . . . and a mystery (of course). Have you ever seen roses this color? I hadn‘t. So unusual!

☕️📚Lamenting my overzealous goal setting in my 2019 Reading Challenge... am a wee bit behind but there‘s still time. (Right?)

@elkeo_TheBookDragon I‘m hooked! I might even finish today. You weren‘t kidding about the first chapters bringing you into the story.

Jess_Read_This @HardcoverHearts I think so too! I love the covers this publisher has done for these rereleases. 5y
Jess_Read_This @twohectobooks hehehe... I should have done that. Normally I can hit my target but I had just the worst reading slump for two months. I like the adjust as you go along approach in reading goal setting. 5y
Jess_Read_This @mabell Thank you! It‘s a Target find- the Hearth and Hand line by Joanna Gaines. ☺️ 5y
LeahBergen This book is delightful . 💕💕 (edited) 5y

This month I‘ll be reading the last title for the #destevensonreadalong, ‘Mrs Tim Carries On‘. But, I fell behind with the April title, and just finished, ‘Spring Magic‘. Even though this wouldn‘t make my top favorites list, I still loved this whimsical and delightful read. I found the title of the book, perfectly captures the spirit of the story, and this book ended up being the perfect read for the end of an enchanting spring this year.

batsy I really love those Dean Street Press covers! Plus, a wonderful array of spines in the background 🥰 5y
catebutler @batsy Aren‘t they! I love each of their covers, they always fit the books so perfectly! And thank you! This is one of my favorite shelves. ☺️ 5y

It‘s a date night this Friday evening! Mr. S and I usually go out, but tonight I wanted to stay in & cook one of his favorites: homemade beef and ricotta meatballs, in tomato and basil sauce with warm flatbread. I‘ve been listening to an audiobook, whilst cooking, enjoying the last of the sunlight before it dipped below the horizon. The food‘s hot, so we‘ll eat, and then cuddle up on the couch, and watch a movie, his pick this time around. 🎥🍿

Tamra Perfect date night! 6y
LeahBergen I loved this one (just like all the DE Stevensons I‘ve read). 😍😍 6y
Theaelizabet Yum! I have Miss Buncle‘s Book, but haven‘t read it yet. Stacking this one! 5y

catebutler @LeahBergen I‘m really adoring this book! And yes, I must admit I‘ll read anything by D. E. Stevenson, she‘s wonderful! 5y
catebutler @Theaelizabet I adored Miss Buncle‘s Book! This one is very good too, although I don‘t think it gets as much love. I also loved, Mrs Tim of the Regiment. I‘ll read anything by Stevenson! 5y
Tamra @catebutler I‘m a homebody so you‘ll get no argument from me. 5y
