I am interested in what you all are reading for Summertime. This month is Pride Month. It's three Caribbean Book Month. It's got so many different things. Father's Day is coming up was just wondering what are some of your favorite books that you are reading right now and if you want to share any of them with me or with others who are following this twelve chat thanks so much for taking your time and sharing. Very new favorite

And lately I've just been reading bits and pieces of books that I just have on my bedside, literally. But somebody just suggested to me a book that sounded really interesting called Midnight Library, about people who have alternative dreams about different life they would have led. And the Midnight Library allows you to sort of go into that world temporarily. So I think I'm going to pick that up. Another book that was told for me to read is Cast. Another book club I know is reading that

I thought listening to Midnight Library was so fun and that's something you can do while you're walking or cooking or doing the dishes or whatever. And then Cast, I think, is a really lovely book to sit down with when you have space and time and want your mind to be stimulating, related, and truly take your time and absorb what you're reading. So that would be my feedback in case it's helpful at all

I read Cast in 2021, I believe, with a pretty amazing book club on Instagram. And as you can see from the picture, I definitely tapped it up and soaked up a lot of that information. I read it first on my own, and then I listened to the audio, which just kind of gave it a different dimension as well. Very intense and important book that I think every American should read. And I've heard of Midnight Library, but I have not read it

And it's based on research too, so there was a lot of really interesting things there that I'm excited to talk to my friend about. And then I've also slowly been reading this book by Dr. Joe Dispenza called Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself. And it's pretty interesting. I don't know if you know anything about him, but he's really into the science behind the power of meditation and manifestation

I have a tendency to over schedule myself on books through the pandemic. I've been reading maybe 20 novels a month, so sometimes I will pick a bunch and then end up up picking different ones. But these three are top of my list. Sisters and Resistance actually comes out on June 21 and it was sent to me from Grand Central Publishing. So I'm super excited to get a free book and be able to talk about it and read it and share what I think about it

I'm curious if you don't mind sharing, like, their age range. I'm an early childhood educator as well, so I know a lot of books for young kids, but I'm not for preschool age. But one of my favorites for maybe I don't know how old would be a good age for maybe a little older age for the Golden Compass series, his Dark Materials. That was another series that I totally just read back to back. I love those books

Oh, I forgot to post a picture. Oh, and I forgot to also mention The Artist Way. That is an amazing, more, you know, prompt. I don't know if you've I know it's been around for a long time, but I I think I've gone through it before, but a friend had mentioned it again, and I was like, oh, I should look at The Artist's Way again. Get back into writing. And I love morning pages there's

But this one I finished and it's just going to be on the back of my couch because I know I'm going to reread it, but it's called The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows and it's this guy, it took him twelve years to write and he basically blogged all these words like overtime and then put them into a book

It's a non profit, amazing company. But there was just, like always, tons of copies of The Artist Way. So I remember working at the store. I had money each month being an employee to spend, and I remember getting a bunch of copies of The Artist Way and giving it to my friends. But, yeah, it's a really great book. And I posted a podcast with an interview with the woman who wrote it, Julia Cameron

Hey, so yeah, my favorite book was The Paper Palace by Miranda Crowley. Helen in the middle of summer dinner party unfolding in the backwards of cape, Cody, the protagonist of Miranda Polly Hillers The Paper Palace steps outside into the dusty shadows and consumers a long simmering love of her waking up the next morning, she declares at the end of a long story, though it marks the beginning of this beginning book, which unfolds amid the freshwater points, beach glasses and poison every covering the cape
Like the first one I have read I'll Give You the sun and then I have read Kafka on the Shore and The Hungry Tide and this all books are very good and also I have read and The Mountain Sears Coat these are very good rates and currently I am reading Krishna. So far I'm enjoying what I'm reading and there are several other books I'm about to read. My TVR list is very long and I'm just finishing one by one. There is not enough book to read it

So summer reads. Recently, I've been the summer reading books on psychology, chemistry and botany, as well as social engineering, but that's so that might not be what you're looking for. Although I really wouldn't mind the idea of picking up the scripts for movies for just the ironic humor of it. Because we already have movies made from books. Why not go the other way on it? It sounds amusing

Hey. Hey. Thank you for such an interesting topic to discuss. I have found a lot of books here that I would like to read. And thank you guys for your replies. It really helps me a lot. And for myself, I would like to recommend one book that I have read recently that calls 100 Years of Solitude by Gabriel Marcus. I believe this is an interesting story about the family and about different generations

And on Another Square cast, someone raised the question, is it worth it to dive into Booker Prize winners? Because they can be difficult. They can require some sustained mental attention. I went back and looked at the Bill Booker Prize winners that I have read. I've really enjoyed them. So I'm thinking I'm going to go back to that list and see what else is out there for me to read
