A bit the same as how trees from our childhood always look much, much smaller when later visited. A lovely post, with lovely and thoughtful suggestions. So, even though to me its a winter reading list, as we are in winter proper now in Australia, I will still check out your list, because to me, winter is the time when I read the most!!

My husband and I purchase books and have about 100 still to be read; since I read about 8 books a month you can see we have lots ahead. I got a copy of Garden Blessings today which looks fabulous, I love gardens and I love blessings.

Thanks for this delightful mix of books and places. I'll have to refer back to your list. I got so far as the first one, 'The Sea House,' which definitely sounds like one I'd enjoy. Did you ever see the movie "The Secret of Roan Inish"? It's been a while since I've seen it, but I remember thinking it was a lovely movie. The blurb about the book reminded me of it.Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10021913578112308091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-57053305070346766612014-06-09T17:14:49.706-04:002014-06-09T17:14:49.706-04:00Pamela, I love your list.

This summer I would like to read the new Michael Cunningham book and The Vacationers which I hear good things about. Of course, I always find a reason to reread my favorite Barbara Pyms, any time of the year. <br />xx SundaySunday Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13148090705938196599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-81053304126169666292014-06-09T15:49:28.714-04:002014-06-09T15:49:28.714-04:00SO, many of you have summer reading lists.

Just finished "Still Life with Breadcrumbs" by Anna Quindlan and liked it a lot. Also, "The Art Forger" was good. Having time to read is one of my favorite things about summer. I love to read on the beach, but am not the typical beach reader (I've been known to dive into a Dickens novel under my umbrella).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-53404914895638421652014-06-09T09:28:26.027-04:002014-06-09T09:28:26.027-04:00Hello Pamela,

It sounds as if Wendell Berry holds many the same views I do about what the problems are with modern-day living. All the Light We Cannot See also sounds intriguing. My Kindle had a recent malfunction (I gathered it up with a load of laundry and sent it through the washer; yes I did that!) but honestly -- even though it's a convenience for on-the-go-reading, I much prefer holding paper books in my hands. Just now getting around to The Goldfinch. Have been on a Pat Conroy binge lately; love his writing.

What a huge selection of wonderful reads - can't wait to sample so many of them.<br />A Cornish summer read from a few years ago - Rosamund Pilcher's The Shellseekers which had EVERYTHING a summer read should have - art, history, romance...and Cornwall. I'm always haunted by the fate of the Romanoff sisters. I will try to compile a list of my own soon.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03964291132366262298noreply@blogger.com
