On My Nightstand June 7, 2025
/
Another week of checking way too many books out of the library, and not reading any of them! This is the last really busy weekend, so hopefully I’ll get to some of them soon.
Quote of the week
“We could never have loved the earth so well if we had had no childhood in it, if it were not the earth where the same flowers come up again every spring that we used to gather with our tiny fingers as we sat lisping to ourselves on the grass, the same hips and haws on the autumn hedgerows, the same redbreasts that we used to call ‘God’s birds’ because they did no harm to the precious crops. What novelty is worth that sweet monotony where everything is known and loved because it is known?”
On My Nightstand This Week
Paper book - I’m still working on Earl Swift’s Chesapeake Requiem and Across The Airless Wilds. Hoping I get some long nights with these on the porch soon.
Kindle - I started the nap dream that is Audition by Katie Kitamura. What a ride!
Audio - I was lucky enough to get Be Ready When the Luck Happens by Ina Garten. Loving this.
