A true story of an unexpectedly painful beverage.

The very best way

Squeeze a wedge of lime.

Mehso-so

Through short vignettes rather than a plot driven book the reader is provided glimpses into the lives of a young girl and her grandmother who live on a small island off the coast of Finland. Descriptive writing with vivid images.

This book is such a lovely way to begin my summer reading. 5/5⭐️ It‘s also the start of a challenge I‘ve set for myself, my #100DayProject2025 to mark the beginning of my endless vacation, aka forever freedom, aka Renaissance years, aka retirement! My 3 rules: that I own the book, that I journal about it, & that I post daily (to keep me honest 😅). My goal is to read 50 books in 100 days, which is a lofty goal for me!🤞🏽
Book 1/50
(July 2, 2025)

PurpleyPumpkin @MemoirsForMe Donna, I am finally going to put your lovely reading journal to good use! There‘s room for exactly 50 reviews. 😉 2mo

MemoirsForMe Yay! So glad the journal will help you with this cool challenge! 🤓📝 2mo
kspenmoll Wonderful way to celebrate your retirement!! 2mo
TheLudicReader Congrats on your retirement! I am thinking about going in June 2026 and picture it as one long, swoony reading sprint. 2mo
PurpleyPumpkin @MemoirsForMe Exactly! I‘ve always wanted the opportunity to read my days away so thought this would be the perfect way to start that journey. And I‘m taking your advice, I‘m avoiding super chunksters!😅 2mo
PurpleyPumpkin @kspenmoll @TheLudicReader Thanks so much! I‘m very happy to be able to spend more time reading. ☺️ 2mo
PurpleyPumpkin I‘m with you @TheLudicReader, a lengthy reading sprint is definitely in order. Love your plan!💜 2mo

Librarybelle I did enjoy this one—lots of descriptive passages that made me feel like I was on the island. There is also a solid relationship between Sophia and Mimi, though Sophia did drive me nuts at times! 2mo

Bookwormjillk I have The Summer Book out from the library but as usual I am behind. I'll check back in when I finally get to it. 2mo
AllDebooks @Bookwormjillk thankfully, it's a short read. I hope you enjoy it x 2mo
IriDas I really enjoyed this book. I loved that it was a series of self-contained chapters. The relationship between the girl and her grandmother was very real, nobody was the “font of wisdom” so to speak, they were both just fully human. My Alma mater has several of her books. I think I will have to check them out when school starts back. 2mo
julieclair I adored The Summer Book! It was my only 5-star read in June. The relationship between grandmother and granddaughter was something truly special and loving. Even when they were angry with each other, they understood each other so well. 2mo
AllDebooks @IriDas @julieclair so glad you both enjoyed it. The relationship between Sophia and her grandmother was very realistic. 2mo
AllDebooks @Librarybelle Sophia was a handful at times. 😅 2mo
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Trashcanman maybe you would like non-fiction nature reads 1mo
