Cottages and Cottage Life: Containing Plans for Country Houses, Adapted to the Means and Wants of the People of the United States; with Directions for Building and Improving; for the Laying Out and Embellishing of Grounds; with Some Sketches of Life in this Country | Charles Wyllys Elliott

The week at a cottage that I look forward to each year! I couldn't decide what I was in the mood for so I brought a few library books and a few off my shelves. I'll probably only have time to read one or two but at least I have options. I'll be finishing Radio Girls first.

#Cottage #Vacation

PurpleyPumpkin Looks like a lovely reading spot. 😍 Enjoy!📚 1mo

Leftcoastzen I love to have more choices too ! Moods can change . 1mo

Aims42 Fellow Mood Reader checking in 🙋‍♀️ Great options!! I really enjoyed ‘Radio Girls‘ 📻 1mo

Jess861 @PurpleyPumpkin Thanks! Nothing quite like reading by a lake! 1mo

Jess861 @Leftcoastzen @Aims42 - Too many different kinds of books to read to not be a mood reader. I never know what I'm going to feel like reading! 1mo

You Are Here: Poetry in the Natural World | Ada Limon

Lunch & book shopping with my 3 sisters today- so much laughter & book talk!
#NationalPoetryMonth #vacation

Tamra Lucky you! 😊 4mo

dabbe Oh, I love Brewster! I was lucky enough to vacation there with my best friend from college after we graduated from U of A. Her parents own a cottage there. Her mom still lives there, and she's in her 90s! I'm glad you had such a wonderful time. 🩵💙🩵 4mo

kspenmoll @dabbe My parents lived there & died in their 90s there. Great elderly services. My older sister now owns their home, but she has made it hers. I love it-she is the artistic one in the family. 4mo

dabbe @kspenmoll How cool is that? I just adore Cape Cod. I hope to go there this fall with my BFF to celebrate our 60th birthdays this year. 🧡🍁🧡 4mo

kspenmoll @dabbe I really hope you both can celebrate there! Fall is such a beautiful time- and many places remain open! 4mo

dabbe @kspenmoll If we do, you're going to have to find some time to come back and join us for lunch or something! 😍 4mo

kspenmoll @dabbe That would be fun! Keep me posted! 4mo

#CoverStories Day 27: This story definitely reminds me of summers either spent with family in the US or in the Philippines. I especially liked this statement: “We go to a house that‘s not any of ours, near the ocean and a #lake.”

Penguin on Vacation | Salina Yoon

Hey friends!! So I've been looking at my life and my upcoming schedule, and I am going to pause #RandomClassics definitely for January, and maybe longer, kind of depending. We're thinking about moving (!!!!!) plus we are going out of town in January, so there is a lot going on 😂 I still have a huge list of classics I would like to read, and I have really enjoyed reading these with you all, but for now I need to skip a month!! I'll let everyone ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) know when I am ready to pick back up again!!

Cuilin Take care of yourself 🩵💜 8mo

Cuilin #WhatTheDickens is reading Nicholas Nickleby next. We can wait until February too. 8mo

TheAromaofBooks @Cuilin - There is no telling when I will be back on track 😂 Especially if we actually move out of this house we've lived in for 10 years. Sooooo many barnacles to sort through and pack! 😆 So please don't wait for me - I may still read along in January, I just know that hosting is beyond my commitment parameters right now haha 8mo

wordslinger42 Sounds good to me! 8mo

ChaoticMissAdventures That is a lot!! Hope everything goes smoothly, and just let us know when you are ready! Moving is always too much. And a break is always a great idea especially this time of year. 8mo

BarbaraJean Moving and travels is a LOT—and my January is packed as well, so I‘m happy for a pause on my side, too!! Happy to jump back in whenever you have the space to host again 😊 (edited) 8mo

AnneCecilie Sounds good to me 8mo

ChelseaM6010 Sounds good to me! 💜 8mo

curiouserandcurioser @TheAromaofBooks Sounds good to me! 8mo

julieclair Travels and a possible move! Fun stuff! Enjoy. And when and if you‘re ready to pick back up again, we‘ll be here. 🥰 8mo

Sace That‘s a lot to deal with! Enjoy your travels and I hope the move is a smooth one. I‘m ready to lurk/read whenever you start back. 8mo
