This lovely library at the Lincolnville Motel in Maine had me imagining the collection of books I'd still have, if I'd never let any go. It really did feel quite cozy paging through book after book listening to Johnny Cash on the record player with a mug of hot tea in hand. Also...those white floors.
Foster by Claire Keegan is a book I picked up in a different vacation spot library. I chose it, because I thought it would be short enough to finish during our stay. I read it in one sitting + it lingered in my thoughts for days. I'd be so curious to hear how others receive it. My advice is not to read what it's about before diving in.
I've been studying Enneagram in Real Life by Stephanie Barron Hall like a text book. I really like how Stephanie engages with the enneagram as a guide for transformation towards our truest selves. She says that our truest selves are grounded, connected, compassionate + possess inner-knowing. Yes, please.
Rebel Stylist by Iain Webb caught my eye in a bookstore + held it as soon as I realized that the subject, Caroline Baker, styled my favorite 80's Benetton ads. I found it interesting think through the statements that were being made with fashion then + how they could be interpreted differently now through our current cultural lens.
I started All the Water in the World by Eiren Caffall the same day that it rained eight inches in a couple of hours at our house. It hits pretty close to home, but is beautifully + thoughtfully written.
Patrice is on my I'd-like-to-watch list.
An inspiring watch.
I hope your summer offers periods of spacious time + the appetite for savoring what is quiet + juicy. :)
Loads of love,
Jane
