This beauty is from last month's @owlcrate!
I'm hoping to start reading it soon, while I'm at the lake! Hopefully sitting on the lakeshore will make it feel a little more like I'm on an island.
🌿
What's your next read?

I spent the weekend camping with friends, and happened to read this section while sitting at the lake beach, so I thought I'd share this quick, impromptu photo with you!
🌊
I should be done Alias Grace soon. What are you currently reading?

Since I finished Six of Crows, I started reading Alias Grace. I think they're making it into a TV show? Have any of you read it?
Also, this photo features my favourite alcoholic drink. I love that you can taste the ginger. What's your favourite summer drink?

Its the Chamber of Secrets Anniversary!
🐍
My husband and I are actually reading Chamber of Secrets together right now! We take turns reading aloud to each other. 🙈 It's so lovely, I definitely recommend it!
🐍
Do you have any reading buddy habits? Do you like to read aloud with someone or would you rather sit quietly together and each read separate books?

Started reading Six of Crows this weekend!
🗡
I've had my eye on it for awhile and I'm already really enjoying it! I have a big soft spot for fictional thieves. 🙈 And I'm very excited to get more familiar with this world!

Today is the 14th anniversary of the publication of Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix!
🔥
June 21 2003, I was finishing grade 2. I can't believe how long it's been! Where were you 14 years ago?

My favourite pastime right now is burning this @novellyyours candle, reading A Conjuring of Light, and listening to this perfect playlist: https://8tracks.com/ghealach-beag/not-of-strength-but-of-balance
🔽
It's the perfect combo! I highly recommend!

I am soo loving this series! I'm trying to get all my friends to read it.
A beautifully crafted world with fascinating language and magic and cultures.

Finished this fun book yesterday, and I only started it the day before! 🙈
There was more telling the reader what was going on than showing the reader but it was a really fun read. I need more pirate fiction in my life.

My new current read since finishing Moby Dick!
🌾
I've only read one chapter and I'm already in love! 😍 This book is so gorgeously written, and deals with hope amidst our pain and brokenness with such beautiful words.
🌾
If I'm not careful, I'm going to go through an entire highlighter while reading this one! 😂🙈

There is a perfect joy and beauty in capturing the wild depths and surfaces of the ocean, and the vast mystery of the whale in ways that at once set them apart from everything you know, compare them to God, and compare them to the world. Every time I read the words in this book, I want to read them aloud and share them with the people around me, because they are so beautiful.

🌟It is about so much more than just a whale hunt.🌟

I had a wonderful day today!
We went to the Starbucks in the bookstore for some chai latte/breakfast and reading time, and our table was beside a man who brought his two huge, loveable dogs with him!

A London Fog and a good book 😍

I'm gonna finish this one today!
I love it when assigned reading for school is the same as my de stress reading.

Taking a break from writing assignments by doing mandatory class reading 🙈
So blessed to be taking a class on #MargaretAtwood!

#TheHeartGoesLast

"And some certain significance lurks in all things, else all things are little worth, and the round world itself but an empty cipher, except to sell by the cartload, as they do hills about Boston, to fill up some morass in the Milky Way."

I found this gorgeous copy for $10 and couldn't resist, even though I already have one 🙈
Another picture coming right up of a beautiful colour illustration inside! 😍

I'm determined to share this quote! There are two more paragraphs to come, so make sure you read them all together, and in the right order!
#mobydick #hermanmelville

This book is making my heart feel big things.
I have a quote I want to share but it is very long, and Litsy won't let me put it here. I considered breaking it into three parts, but each paragraph is even too long.
So if you have possible solutions, please let me know!
And if you want to read the quote, open Moby Dick to the last three paragraphs of chapter 96 (The Try-Works)!
🌟UPDATE: Quote posted as 3 consecutive images.🌟

Chapter 10: Conversing is a good one. Some really great and relevant parallels between bees and humans and the importance of good communication and true dialogue.

My first box ever! So excited to add more "Sailors, Ships & Seas" to my reading. What a perfect theme to accompany Moby Dick!

This book is about so much more than whales.

"But even so, amid the tornadoed Atlantic of my being, do I myself still for ever centrally disport in mute calm; and while ponderous planets of unwaning woe revolve around me, deep down and deep inland there I still bathe me in eternal mildness of joy."

As someone who has struggled with #depression, I love the #hope and feeling captured in these words.
