BooksandCoffee4Me Autumn is my favorite season also. Love the cool breezes, but have to admit I love the longer days of June. 😊💛 1mo

JenlovesJT47 💛🐝🖤 I‘m in Florida and I‘m already dreading how hot it‘s going to get this summer 🥵 1mo

dabbe May I ask where you live? I'm from hotter-than-hell Phoenix! You captured the piercing hot sun with your words and pic! 💛🐝🖤 1mo

Reggie My countdown for the year ends with the summer solstice because that‘s when daylight starts getting shorter and we start sliding towards fall. 1mo

Kristy_K @BooksandCoffee4Me If only we could have long days with cool breezes. 1mo

Kristy_K @dabbe I live in Southern California, but this picture is actually Oslo (where I‘m traveling now). It was 80-100 degrees the week I left So Cal and I was looking forward to the cold but the sun seems just as hot here and I ended sunburnt lol. I can‘t imagine summers in Phoenix! It‘s bad enough in So Cal lol. 1mo

Kristy_K @JenlovesJT47 and you have humidity too, right? I‘d never leave the house lol. 1mo

Eggs I feel this! Central Texas now: highs each day 98+ 🔥 1mo

bellabella It was 94 yesterday with no breeze and humid. It isn't as bad as some of yours, but for me it was awful. 😂 1mo

lil1inblue This makes me glad I'm in Michigan. 😅 😉 1mo

JenlovesJT47 Yes! I lived in Cali for 2 years for college and it was just as hot there but no humidity. The humidity is the worst here and in Georgia 🥵 1mo

dabbe @Kristy_K I lived in San Diego for a few years, and I was amazed at how hot it got! Of course I couldn't afford to live along the beach, so I lived inland, and the desert there is just as hot as Phoenix. How lovely to be in Norway! I visited Bergen back in 1990 (😱) and thought it the most beautiful country I'd ever seen. Enjoy your trip! 💚💜💚 1mo

Kristy_K @Eggs It seems too early in the year to be that hot! 1mo

Kristy_K @dabbe Thank you! 1mo

Kristy_K @bellabella 94 is still awful! 1mo

DebinHawaii I‘m already ready for fall & winter! 😅 💛🐝🖤 1mo

84 Charing Cross Road | Helene Hanff

It seemed for a time that everyone on Litsy was reading this book. I‘m finally getting to it. Such a sweet read. The NY author begins writing to a bookstore in England in order to find rare secondhand books at a good price. She ends up becoming very fond of the employees, sending them packages of food that are unavailable to them during wartime and staying in touch with the employees and their families for years. It‘s a quick and touching read.

BooksandCoffee4Me I‘ve seen it and after reading your post, I know I need to read this. 1mo

Leftcoastzen An all time favorite! 1mo

Suet624 @BooksandCoffee4Me it‘s guaranteed you‘ll like it. 1mo

Letters of Note: Correspondence Deserving of a Wider Audience | Shaun Usher

#coverstories
#letters
@Eggs
@Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

A captivating anthology that brings together an extraordinary collection of correspondence from across history, culture, and human experience. Originally stemming from the popular website of the same name, this book compiles letters that are poignant, humorous, enlightening, and sometimes heartbreaking—each offering a unique glimpse into the minds of their writers.

BooksandCoffee4Me Have you read The Only Thing That Counts, the letters between Hemingway and his editor, Maxwell Perkins? These letters share insights into Hemingway -- the real, unheroic, determined, obstinate, fiery, pensive, colliegial Hemingway; of course, the wisdom, almost father-like attention, and expertise of Perkins and discussions regarding F Scott Fitzgerald add to the depth and enjoyment of reading this book. 3mo

Eggs My ‘must-read‘ list is unmanageable 🤪, but…stacked. 3mo

😭😭😭My husband & I were recently displaced from our home by a fire. No one was hurt & our things were fine, we did have to look for a new home. He knew how difficult an experience this has been, including having to seriously downsize my library. As a housewarming gift, he found something I I have been searching for- an Italian translation of my favorite book! Next Jan 1st, when I do my annual read it will be in Italian! 😭😭😭

Jas16 I am so sorry to hear about your home. 4mo

HardcoverHearts @Jas16 Thank you so much. We are very fortunate to have been able to land on our feet. We will be fine and I‘m just so happy to be done with purging and packing. Now it‘s just unboxing and purging. 😅 4mo

AmyG I am sorry tonear about the fire, but happy to read you are safe and in a new home. Wishing you all the best. 4mo
