do you have any summer reading that you would recommend?
I keep a running list in my notes so I can put books on hold at the library
I'm still reading (savoring)
The Street of a Thousand Blossoms
by Gail Tsukiyama
I love a book that sends me off to learn about something I had no idea about beforehand
like: the firebombing of Tokyo in March 1945
that anyone survived those days at all is a miracle
maybe my next book to put on hold will be something to make me laugh
Mark Twain or Garrison Keillor
how about you?
I can't seem to get Mister Linky to work today
so, for today, we'll just go back to our old way of making the rounds
(using the comments as a guide)
Hi, I'll look out for The Street of a Thousand Blossoms, sounds interesting. Just started reading Game of Thrones by George R R Martin, I've not read a fantasy novel for absolutely ages. If you fancy a bit of crime I can't recomment Camilla Lackberg's novels highly enough, can't wait for the next one to be released :)
ReplyDeleteHave not read that book ... I will just have to add it to my list! Thanks
ReplyDeleteLove Garrison Keillor, my list includes, The No! Ladies Detective Agency series (taking me to Africa),Hollywood, by Gore Vidal,Water for Elephants,by Sara Gruen, Very Valentine by Adriana Trigani, and a new novel by one of our friend's Dave Kyger.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read anything since last summer so am hoping to get to some of those books on my bedside table.
ReplyDeleteI had mint green tea with dark chocolate today. It's 4:15 pm and I am in the midst of packing for a 10-day adventure.
Have a terrific Tuesday. Tammy
reading seems a luxury to me and I am always a little uncomfortable with that...part of the problem is when I pick up a good book that is all I want to do READ :)
ReplyDeleteso my list is long and way behind yours I'm sure
Happy T to you...Love your pretty teapot full of reflection
oxo
p.s. my tea is college tea this week ;)
love those teapot reflections and the colour is amazing.I love crime novels but will try anything if it looks interesting. I also spend a lot of my reading time looking and reading books on Eco-Dyeing, stitching,journalling and anything to do with the work l create.I have a long list of books to be read and funnily enough as l sit here...l can't remember one of them! Hax
ReplyDeleteSorry to read about Mr. Linky. And it's the day I'm finally supposed to get my art supplies out of storage.
ReplyDeleteSorry I can't add to your reading list because what I'm reading right now are lots of old craft books and magazines. I'm really just looking for a bit of inspiration, but they are also fun to read for the techniques I discover along the way. Even though I can't recommend a good book, I can always recommend a few background techniques. Happy Tea today.
Here is today's tea post:

I have a few favorites that I always go back to. I loved Life of Pi - that's an interesting book if you haven't read it yet. It was so popular a few years back that you probably have.
ReplyDeletegood morning kimmie!

Love the shots of your tea pot Kimmie!
ReplyDeleteI'm still in lovely Washington and enjoying every last minute of it, because tomorrow I will be back in the heat of the desert.
I have been reading a bit of The Artist Way.
The second teapot shot is divine...
ReplyDeleteI'm reading "oogy...the dog only a family could love" by Larry Levin. Non-fiction and heart-rending.
That Mr. Linky is a fickle fellow. :)

Once I get my nose into a book, I've got it in there for the duration of the read and can't pry myself away! Consequently, my books are always savored during our vacations so I can immerse myself in the story. Loved the "Girl with the Dragon Tatoo", et al. Awesome series! Hugs, Terri xoxo
ReplyDeletePS Thank you, Kimmie, for your lovely comments. Your sweet words made my heart sing! xoxoxo
While not funny, a good novel I finishes not that long ago, long and juicy and some history
ReplyDeleteis "The Tricking of Freya" by Christina Sunley.
Read it through in a couple of days....
xox Corrine
Great bookends! or teapotends
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely blue teapot... "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan" is a good summer read. It is full of Chinese culture. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteThe blue in the teapot is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI just finished The Female Fascinating reading for those of use who raised our girls in overalls and told our boys that it's alright to cry,

I've been reading ALL of Jodi Picoult's books. I liked The Pact which was my most recent read.
ReplyDeleteThe No1 Ladies Detective Agency is my favourite series and I'm just starting some more Alexander McCall Smith, 44 Scotland Street.
ReplyDeleteI can't usually sit long enough in the summer to read a book :) but come the fall....I love to sink into a book and dream the hazy fall days away.
ReplyDeleteI love the teapots. The spout in the second pic looks like something from Alice and Wonderland :)
