Remember the SUMMER READING PROGRAMS at the Public Library? Over the next month little augury will make reading essential.
Reading is like water to me- I can't live without it.
from my collectionI've asked the brilliant bloggers-the house of beauty and culture, An Aesthete's Lament, Mrs. Blandings, and the peak of chic to join me in the Library. architect design and Porter Hovey have signed on too. As a designer- I think I could love working with architect-ad and Porter Hovey's Polaroid Project is a must see for me. JCB, le style et la matiere in Paris, and Ancient Industries/ my book covers drop in as well- all with a unique twist on BOOKS. Rose C'est La Vie rounds out the list. Rose is a newcomer to blogging like me and we feel somewhat like blog sisters. In all cases- this assemblage inspires me daily.
I've asked some of my friends to participate as well- Why? because they are DOING things, whether is is writing, farming, mothering, cooking- they have a lot to say too. Wait and see.
I have some of the best books out there to share with readers too.

...stay tuned.
I can't wait to see what everyone puts on his or her list. I'm naturally hiding this from my family as seeing me connected with "brilliant" would surely make them laugh until they wet their pants. I am thrilled to be included.
ReplyDeleteMrs B. I am laughing so hard- good bladder control, your family should work on it too- they will be hearing that a lot! G.
ReplyDeleteI just recently purched Jamie Drake's book and he's coming to speak here in DC next month and I plan on going to the lecture -I can't wait! It's a really fun and fab book!!
ReplyDeleteMarvelous list! Thanks for stopping by Sanity Fair. I began my only little reading list for the summer based on this year's Southern Literary Trail. I don't have time to drive it, so I'm going to read it instead :) Can't wait to see what else makes your list! And I'm adding you to my blogroll.
ReplyDeleteLA... I've got stacks and stacks of books around, waiting to be read. Light reading, heavy reading, picture books and cookbooks.
ReplyDeleteThis will be fun. LIke Pigtown I've got stacks everywhere, made a little more intense because I started upholstering a room in which three bookcases live and those cases and books have filled up other rooms. It's not quite Dickens rag and bone shop but it is certainly books gone wild. Looking forward to the lists. Your first was very thought provoking "Serve It Forth" is on the top of my list.Sounds delightful.
ReplyDeleteHow do we keep it all straight? I have stacks of stacks-
ReplyDeletePigtown- I love cookbooks too, great reading and pictures.
AD- I would love to see Jaime Drake- I am sure he will be entertaining.
SA- thanks!
Home- share the upholstered room results! g.
