A few of my favourite summer time recollections are from the automotive port of my grandma’s home in Central Pennsylvania. I’d get dropped off there for the day and would spend whole mornings curled up within the shade on an old style foldable orange out of doors chaise lounge with a *massive* stack of library books by my aspect. I devoured Harriet the Spy, the complete Agatha Christie collection, and any biography or Judy Bloom e book I may get my palms on on the native public library.
Although my present life stage doesn’t enable for as a lot luxurious studying as in my childhood (you simply wait, retirement – I’m coming for you with a e book record one million miles lengthy!!), books nonetheless carry me a lot pleasure. For a few years, on the Conscious Return weblog, I’ve written summer time studying lists (you may try all of them right here). Much more enjoyable than studying books about working parenthood, although, has been interviewing the authors of those wonderful reads.
Final month, I simply wrapped up my third season of interviews with some unbelievable authors. I do know all of you weren’t capable of tune in dwell, however I’m delighted to report that we recorded all of those conversations for future listening. As we speak, I’m sharing hyperlinks to entry all of those Season 3 conversations. Glad summer time listening!
