The Summer Book | Tove Jansson

#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. 😁 3d

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. 😂) 3d

TheBookHippie I‘ve got this one!!! I‘ll do this. 3d

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! 3d

AllDebooks @Librarybelle thanks for letting me know. I could always run an alternative for US. Something like

The Summer Book

Librarybelle That‘s easier to get in the US. Completely up to you! 3d

AllDebooks @Librarybelle I'm happy to run a fiction and non-fiction read 📚 😀 3d

Cuilin @AllDebooks @Librarybelle it‘s out in 18 hours on Spotify and Audible. Strange that the audiobook is out before the hardback 🤔 (edited) 3d

AllDebooks @Cuilin yay 😀 3d

AllDebooks *** Please refer to 2nd post re a fiction #buddyread for those who can't access A Wilder Way. 😀📚🌞 3d

AllDebooks https://litsy.com/p/c2xKWUpVVzA0 3d

Librarybelle @Cuilin That is odd. Maybe because it‘s the UK version that is offered through Spotify and Audible??? 3d

Cuilin @Librarybelle Possibly. Spotify even have a countdown clock lol 3d

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!! 3d

TheBookHippie @AllDebooks the summer book is in my TBR if you switch it. 😊 3d

AllDebooks @TheBookHippie I'm going to host both. 😀📚 3d

TheBookHippie @AllDebooks 🙃 3d

TheBookHippie @Cuilin @librarybelle kindle says April 24 hardback June 😵‍💫😂🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤣 3d

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! 3d

TheBookHippie @Librarybelle I‘m hoping it‘ll come other places and I too am not paying Amazon ten bucks 😂😵‍💫 3d

Crinoline_Laphroaig I have a lot going on in June so I'm going to skip. 2d

AllDebooks @Crinoline_Laphroaig ok. Have a great summer ☀️ 2d

Catsandbooks I won't be participating in the buddy reads but I still would like to be tagged for other #midsummersolace activities and posts 💚 2d

kelli7990 I want to join. 1d

Kenyazero Looks like my library doesn't have this one, so I'll just follow along and join in on future reads 1d

AllDebooks @Catsandbooks ok x 15h

AllDebooks @kelli7990 welcome. I've added you to the taglist for both buddyreads 🌞 15h

Librarybelle Overall, some good reflections. I liked the stories in each section that helped solidify the message for that section. I was not as enchanted with the book as I had hoped I would be, but I‘m so glad I read it! 3mo

TheBookHippie I‘m so sorry I bailed too many “pissed me off quips” 🤪😂😂😂🥴😩🤷🏻‍♀️😝 I‘m sure there was good in it for someone. I generally don‘t read these type books. 😅 3mo

Crinoline_Laphroaig I didn't read the tagged book but previous one Calm Christmas and Happy New Year was a gamechanger for me. I want to reread every year. Thank you.

Calm Christmas and a Happy New Year: A little book of festive joy

AllDebooks @Librarybelle I felt the same, some nuggets of wisdom in there. 3mo

AllDebooks @TheBookHippie lol, fair enough 🤣 3mo

AllDebooks @Crinoline_Laphroaig I'm so glad you enjoyed the Christmas book. 😊 3mo

TheBookHippie @AllDebooks I bailed both books 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I cannot. 3mo

Julsmarshall I listened to it on #audio and like @Librarybelle , found a few gems that resonated with me. I never would have found this book without the challenge so thanks, @AllDebooks ! 3mo

dabbe @AllDeBooks @Chrissyreadit @TheBookHippie

Read for #NaturalItsy #LitSolace this was a lovely little book. While not every point made was applicable to me, there were lots of ideas, thoughts & quotes that resonated & that I highlighted. A good calming read overall for a January that‘s gone crazy. 🍵

Our #FridayNightshare is to recommend your go-to comfort reads. Seems appropriate for this scary week.

The tagged is my go-to contemporary read. My comfort classics are Sense & Sensibility and David Copperfield.

What are yours?
