When I think of summer reading, not matter where I am, I think of a garden spot, a bench in a park, overlooking water or perhaps a mountain range. I want to submerge myself in the story and when I look up I am going to dream!
I imagine myself curling up here...
Looking out to there...
Reading this...
Or that...
And that bench invites me to indulge a little in English reading...
While that chair reminds me of these books:
And these must be read here:
I just started my summer reading off with Elizabeth Goudge's Scent of Water! Oh, what a delight!
And may these books and all your reading desire last for a whole wonderful long summer!
Wishing you hours under a tree in a shady spot for reading, napping and... what ever else you like doing on a bench...

I have a lovely rocking chair, whereby I read. It faces the backyard, so when I look up, I see my flower garden. I am very grateful.
ReplyDeleteOooh, that chair reminds me of books too, as I LOVE to read at the beach! Happy Summer Reading!
ReplyDeleteI agree. Being attached to nature in some way is great when reading. I've started The Three Musketeers by Alexander Dumas. I know it's a classic but I haven't read it yet!
ReplyDeletethank you for the list, I'm always looking for a good book to have by my bedside table!
ReplyDeleteMy dear, you always choose a lovely selection of books which go well with the furniture for comfort xxx
ReplyDeleteSo many books to read so little time!
ReplyDeleteLove your suggestion list!

I adore books and reading - it cultivates the miond. Must remember to read "The Lady and the Poet" - a friend recently suggested I read this.
ReplyDeleteSuch happy pictures, sweetie;-)
What a great post.
ReplyDeleteTo you all, thank you for you kind responses, I could not exist without books....
ReplyDeleteBooks do cultivate the mind and they have taught me more then I can say. They are my continous education, pleasure, entertainment and I have a hard time not to share my enthusiasm. I just cannot squeeze in another blog, dedicated to books alone, as much as I am tempted!
And I guess it fit's in to a graceful life style blog...
