The Summer Book | Tove Jansson
post image

#LitSolace #NaturaLitsy

#MidsummerSolace #buddyread 2nd choice is Tove Jansson's 1972 novel.
The non-fiction choice is unavailable in US until late June. So, with that in mind, I will run a relaxed fiction (tagged) and non-fiction (A Wilder Way) #buddyread
for those wishing to participate.
All welcome. Please let me know if you wish to be added/removed from the taglist.

@TheBookHippie @Chrissyreadit @LitsyEvents

Librarybelle Thanks so much! I‘ll keep the nonfiction on my radar. 😁 2d
IriDas This looks like such a good book. I‘d like to be added to the list, kiitos (thanks). (That‘s me, showing off the one Finnish word I remember consistently. 😂) 2d
TheBookHippie I‘ve got this one!!! I‘ll do this. 2d

Librarybelle This does not come out until late June in the US, so I‘ll check with my library in June to see if it‘s on order! 2d
AllDebooks @Librarybelle thanks for letting me know. I could always run an alternative for US. Something like 2d
Librarybelle That‘s easier to get in the US. Completely up to you! 2d
AllDebooks @Librarybelle I'm happy to run a fiction and non-fiction read 📚 😀 2d
Cuilin @AllDebooks @Librarybelle it‘s out in 18 hours on Spotify and Audible. Strange that the audiobook is out before the hardback 🤔 (edited) 2d
AllDebooks @Cuilin yay 😀 2d
AllDebooks *** Please refer to 2nd post re a fiction #buddyread for those who can't access A Wilder Way. 😀📚🌞 2d
Librarybelle @Cuilin That is odd. Maybe because it‘s the UK version that is offered through Spotify and Audible??? 2d
Cuilin @Librarybelle Possibly. Spotify even have a countdown clock lol 2d
CatLass007 Thanks so much for the tag. I‘m going to have to sit this one out. My library doesn‘t have either book and I‘m really trying to get control of my spending. I hope everyone enjoys whichever book they choose!! 2d
TheBookHippie @AllDebooks the summer book is in my TBR if you switch it. 😊 2d
AllDebooks @TheBookHippie I'm going to host both. 😀📚 2d
TheBookHippie @Cuilin @librarybelle kindle says April 24 hardback June 😵‍💫😂🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤣 2d
Librarybelle @TheBookHippie So bizarre! I have this thing of buying ebooks at a hefty price (I only buy them on discount and am now avoiding Amazon as much as possible). I actually forgot to look at ebooks! 😂 But, this is good to know! 2d
TheBookHippie @Librarybelle I‘m hoping it‘ll come other places and I too am not paying Amazon ten bucks 😂😵‍💫 2d
Crinoline_Laphroaig I have a lot going on in June so I'm going to skip. 1d
AllDebooks @Crinoline_Laphroaig ok. Have a great summer ☀️ 1d
Catsandbooks I won't be participating in the buddy reads but I still would like to be tagged for other #midsummersolace activities and posts 💚 1d
kelli7990 I want to join. 8h
Kenyazero Looks like my library doesn't have this one, so I'll just follow along and join in on future reads 53m

Just over a week left and I'm excited to discuss with those who are interested. I'll post a few discussion points in the afternoon of Saturday, May 3rd - which gives everyone a few extra days. Weekdays are too busy with the kiddos - so going forward I'll post discussion points on the Saturday after month end if that works for everyone. If there is anything specific you are interested in discussing please feel free to comment here. #OhCanada

Blueberry Oops, I've been reading one of the May/June books. But it's good. 😀 3d
Jess861 @Blueberry 😆- at least you know you'll finish it for June, lol 3d

Blueberry Yup, 😆 3d
CarolynM I‘ll try to read this in the coming week🙂 2d
Jess861 @CarolynM I'll be re-reading it this weekend - it's probably been about 15 years since I read it and I can't even remember yesterday 😆 2d

AllDebooks Again, my apologies for missing last week. https://litsy.com/p/cWNXNzY0WDRn 6d
Librarybelle Good morning! It‘s almost 7am on the US East Coast, and I‘ll soon make the trek to the grocery store for weekly groceries, in hopes to beat the crowds. Today marks the 250th anniversary of the beginning of the US Revolutionary War, and I enjoyed reading Heather Cox Richardson‘s remarks about the events leading up to it. They reminded me that ordinary people can do amazing tiny things. I‘m also enjoying the Golden Girls cozy mystery: 6d
TheBookHippie @Librarybelle loved Heathers words today!!! 6d

TheBookHippie Off to protest… ✊🏼 6d
AllDebooks @Librarybelle Her speech was so good. She is an inspiration. 6d
AllDebooks I have been enraged by the Supreme Courts definition of a woman this week. Yet another backwards step and attack on marginalised people. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/apr/16/a-huge-reset-trans-rights-campaign... 6d
AllDebooks The upside is the outpouring of love and support for the trans community. 🏳️‍⚧️ I am a trans ally and will do all I can to support them through this latest sh*tshow. 6d
quietlycuriouskate Oh, you know, the usual (which is not necessarily a bad thing): groceries, housework, setting up my planner for next week, brief local walk. Now I've shut the door behind me and I'm actually going to READ until it's time to get the tea on. 6d
AllDebooks @quietlycuriouskate A bit of routine followed by a reading session. Perfect ☕️📚☕️ 6d
AllDebooks I was completely enamoured with this month's #RiseUpRead ❤️ It's in my top 10 poetry books of all time. Such a beautiful, important book. I'm thrilled to have found this author. 6d
dabbe @AllDebooks ✊🏻♥️✊🏻 5d
dabbe @TheBookHippie ✊🏻♥️✊🏻 5d
dabbe @AllDebooks I wonder how we'd all treat each other if we just thought of ourselves as earthlings and nothing more than that. 🤔 5d
dabbe Thanks for the tag, m'dear! 😍 Phoenix is enjoying UNBELIEVABLE weather this week! We had a big rain last night, and the high today is only supposed to be 75º F (24º C). I actually cried tears of joy. So, we're taking a LONG walk with the pups and currently have the windows open and no AC. We're thinking a lazy day of (you guessed it) reading. Happy Saturday, EVERYONE! 🌈 5d
DebinHawaii Thanks for the tag! I‘m having a slow start to the weekend & am mostly catching up from a busy workweek. I got home from the airport last night after all day meetings & crashed. Woke up late & just made it to the coffee shop, then errands & maybe a nap later. 5d
