#MidsummerSolace

It's time for our last #FridayNightShare (for now). It will be back in December for #MidwinterSolace

🌞 What's your go-to book when you're feeling low or struggling?
🌞 Which format do you prefer? 📚 🎧
🌞 Where is your most ideal reading location or environment?

@Chrissyreadit @TheBookHippie

kspenmoll Go to books: poetry & anything by John O'Donohue. I love physical books best, but kindle/phone for traveling, waiting for appointments. I love to read in my office in my couch with my cats & on porch. 3d
AllDebooks ❤️ Thanks for your great answers. There is nothing like a tangible book to absorb yourself in the story. I find a 🐈 essential for comfort. 3d
AllDebooks My go to to destress are always short stories, particularly nature or folklore genres. My favourites are The Mistletoe Bride by Kate Mosse, Januaries by Olivie Blake and 3d
AllDebooks I prefer reading outdoors or tucked up in bed. I prefer reading a book to ebooks but, you know, shelf space is limited! 🤷‍♀️ I've just got into audioboooks over the last 2 years, and they have been a gamechanger. Very relaxing listening to them before falling asleep. 3d

#HyggeHour readathon started out as a weekly reset during a #MidwinterSolace event. A great idea from Chrissy that proved so popular we kept it running as a weekly event.

Will you be joining us tonight to get cosy and snuggle down with books and snacks. Post pics and tag us.

Great reading month for January! I finished 19 books total & read almost all I set out to. I think weekly plane rides & trying to avoid media upped my reading time. Finished all 3 #Roll100 books, 3 from my #AuldLangSpine list from @JacqMac + #AuthorAMonth #SundayBuddyRead #ChildrensClassicRead2025 #NancyDrewBR #BobWhiteBuddies #FoodandLit #ChloeGongReadalong #ThematicCozies #FictionalTraveler #Naturalitsy #MidWinterSolace #JaneAustenThenAndNow ⬇️

DebinHawaii … & #SeriesLove2025 & also had some library books sneak their way in. I enjoyed most everything I read (although I got a little heavy with Nazis/Fascists books for a month of political horror that was depressing but some lighter books pulled me out). Top 3 Favorites were Bad Cree, Lula Dean‘s Little Library of Banned Books & The Night Guest. (edited) 5mo
Librarybelle That is a great reading month! 5mo
PuddleJumper That's brilliant! 5mo

#MidwinterSolace #LitSolace

Happy Imbolc 🌞 Spring is on its way. 🌷

I hope you've enjoyed the last 2 months as much as I have. #MWS is always a big help to get me through the shorter days.
❄️Did you participate in the #buddyread (tagged book)?
❄️What are your thoughts?

We'll be back for #MidsummerSolace in June. Happy reading. 📚

Librarybelle Overall, some good reflections. I liked the stories in each section that helped solidify the message for that section. I was not as enchanted with the book as I had hoped I would be, but I‘m so glad I read it! 5mo
TheBookHippie I‘m so sorry I bailed too many “pissed me off quips” 🤪😂😂😂🥴😩🤷🏻‍♀️😝 I‘m sure there was good in it for someone. I generally don‘t read these type books. 😅 5mo
Crinoline_Laphroaig I didn't read the tagged book but previous one Calm Christmas and Happy New Year was a gamechanger for me. I want to reread every year. Thank you. 5mo
AllDebooks @Librarybelle I felt the same, some nuggets of wisdom in there. 5mo
AllDebooks @TheBookHippie lol, fair enough 🤣 5mo
AllDebooks @Crinoline_Laphroaig I'm so glad you enjoyed the Christmas book. 😊 5mo
TheBookHippie @AllDebooks I bailed both books 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I cannot. 5mo
Julsmarshall I listened to it on #audio and like @Librarybelle , found a few gems that resonated with me. I never would have found this book without the challenge so thanks, @AllDebooks ! 5mo
dabbe @AllDeBooks @Chrissyreadit @TheBookHippie

AllDebooks @dabbe it has been an absolute pleasure, as always. Thank you for joining us. X 5mo
AllDebooks @Julsmarshall I'm so glad you enjoyed it 😊 5mo

Mehso-so

Meh. Read a few pages each day. For sure, there were some pieces of advice that resonated with me and made me think about how I approach some situations or people.

But there were also many quotes that sounded trite or off, to the point I wondered what was the original problem this monk was replying to. Don‘t feel much calmer after reading, but given the times, maybe remaining just okay is saying a lot.
