After laundry, we went to the beach and built a sand compound. It was mostly a nice day. The beaches in our city are not popular with the rest of SoCal. They like LA & OC. There aren‘t a big crowds here. Of course, that‘s probably because of parking. It doesn‘t exist here. In fact, I got a notice on my car that I was parked illegally. 😬

My perennials that are blooming now. 🌸🌼 such a healing space for me. Digging, planting, watering, observing,feeling its bounty & beauty. A place for comtemplation. It is bordered by my front porch railing so I sit with my coffee & wonder. We all need this connection to our earth, especially now, in this moment in time.
pickI‘ve gone from a book I felt was way too long to one that I want to be longer! This short novella is a taut look at the effects of trauma, when the death of Matthew‘s parents lead him to uncover a 35-year-old secret.

pickThis is a perfect summer read. A wealthy family comes each year to Capri where one of them died thirty years ago. It was an accident they keep saying. And there‘s nothing to prove it wasn‘t because there‘s little money can‘t buy. Extremely unlikable characters, lots of twists and an over the top ending. Fun read!

pickI love when McGuire gives us the in-depth dive into characters we've already been introduced too.
She not only writes epic adventures with well love characters, but she so fluently adds such hard topics that I'm always amazed by her brilliance.
Another dazzling addition to the series.
I feel like I need to re-read them all... again.
Up next and I am so excited and hopeful that I will love it that I‘m almost scared to begin 😱
#ToF #LibraryBook so I best get started.
The #FictionalTraveler prompt for July is #Water . Hopefully our reading will bring some refreshing fictional escapism for those of us who have been dealing with oppressive heat. 🥵💦💧💦
