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. 😁 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 3d
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
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 @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. 3d
AllDebooks @Crinoline_Laphroaig ok. Have a great summer ☀️ 3d
Catsandbooks I won't be participating in the buddy reads but I still would like to be tagged for other #midsummersolace activities and posts 💚 3d
kelli7990 I want to join. 2d
Kenyazero Looks like my library doesn't have this one, so I'll just follow along and join in on future reads 1d
AllDebooks @kelli7990 welcome. I've added you to the taglist for both buddyreads 🌞 22h

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. 😀 5d
Jess861 @Blueberry 😆- at least you know you'll finish it for June, lol 5d

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 😆 3d

TheSpineView I totally forgot to read this one.🤦‍♀️ I had planned to read in the first few days off April. 🐿🧠 3w
julesG @TheSpineView Don't worry. I'm the same. 🫣🫣 Glad I have the audiobook and only about 2 more hours to go. 3w

BarbaraJean I actually finished this one on time! To refer back to my earlier comments on Terry's use of chapters: I was sad he reverted back to no chapters here! But I did really enjoy it, chapters or not. I loved seeing Moist discover new sides to himself, and the interplay with Adora was fantastic, even if there wasn't a whole lot of it. I also liked Dick Simnel and the way Harry and Moist kind of mentor him. And the reveal about Vetinari at the end! 3w
julesG @BarbaraJean Still wondering where I read about the chapters and what. My mind is a sponge when it comes to soaking up information, but a bank vault when I try to get the information out. I know that chapters were discussed pre writing the Tiffany Aching books. Guess I'll remember it when I least expect it and don't have anything with me to take notes. 😁 3w
BarbaraJean @julesG Haha--yeah, these days my recall of where I read something or how I know something is a bit diminished. 😆 2w
kwmg40 I really enjoyed this one, partly because I love travelling on trains and find the history of train travel interesting, and partly because of the subplot involving the dwarves, which provided a few surprises! 2w
