They bring such joy to me!☺️<br /> When I was working, my summer days were extra special as I felt the luxury of simply carving out time to read. That carved out time felt like a luxury. Retired, I still feel that “carving out” that time in a summer afternoon is still “a gift.”<br /> Love your comments about what you want to feel in a story. You described that so well. <br /> Hope YOU feel moments of great joy that “others” bring to you. You bring SO much to those of us who follow you!<br /> Happy Summer day ahead!!!🤗💗~ AnnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017539925620642059.post-47140220234456398732022-07-19T18:09:38.285-06:002022-07-19T18:09:38.285-06:00"There must always be a thread of goodness an..."There must always be a thread of goodness and beauty throughout." Yes to that! Reading on a languorous summer afternoon is such a delight. I always read Daphne du Maurier's "Frenchman's Creek" in the summer time.

I have placed that book you mentioned on order. It wasn't available locally so it was popped straight into my Amazon shopping cart (wink). Thanks so much for the recommendation, Lauren.

I have such strong and fond memories of visiting all of those places. I thought of you when I read The Summer Book by Tove Jansson. It evokes the same kinds of feelings you describe as it follows a young protagonist and her grandmother at their summer home in Sweden. It was a true delight that I think you would enjoy.

It is those lazy late afternoons and evenings that find me on my swing reading something good. Just finished the "Rose Code" by Anne Quinn - it is a novel about the women and men who worked at Bletchley Park in the UK during WWII. A great fiction based on historical facts. Hope you have lots of good afternoons to read my friend. P.S. You always write posts that inspire goodness and are filled with God's Joy! Thank you for continuing to share your beautiful thoughts.
