Despite it was a rather shit#y summer I found time to sit outside and enjoy books.
Most of you will laugh about the mini-amount, though...
I am short-sighted, so I read with my glasses off.
290 short stories about coincidences. You sit outside and keep shaking your head in astonishment!
I admit, not done yet. Supersmall font. Tiring for the eyes!
This was a huge disappointment as most places are not in Braunschweig but in the area, like Salzgitter, Goslar etc...
Interesting, sad, scary and sometimes good. The main fire station is ten minutes on foot from here but no, you never hear them, thankfully!
Our sweet Henry...
Scary stories of brave men and women.
To animals!
On the train from Dortmund on my old kindle. Such a sweet, clever, funny woman!
Very interesting!
Very interesting, too, oh, but please stop giving me book-tips, other I really need to retire...
Interesting but too detailed... some I just did overfly.
And yes. Ingo hated the old tablecloth I loved so much.
Now I wait for Charlotte...
It warmed up and as Tom reminded me yesterday was TODAY IS NATIONAL READ A BOOK DAY... I yesterday started this:
Gaußberg is like 10 minutes from here in the other direction, dedicated to Carl Friedrich Gauß, just walk out the door, turn left, left again, pass the Gauß-bridge meet Gauß (his statue) and there is the little hill named after the genius. Pics from 2017.... at night.... here.
The pics really turned out great (I know, one should never say that about oneself, but they are really cool).
Huuuuh, scary!
Well, and that was that.
Henry 🦁
Are you really? Maybe I should pick another book... Maybe this:
Yes. From my pocket-money. In French.... Gah. Nerd, huh...

...Iris, you must be a speed reader!
I took me all summer, Tom!
You've read a lot lately, Iris. I'm sorry the one Braunschweig book was disappointing -- the other looks better. I'm really interested in the cow book!
I read without glasses too. And my eye doctor told me that that is not all that common-so it made me feel special. Nice reading too. I love that you did a book post. I really loved the cow book. It goes to show that animals have "spirits" and emotions too. And I loved that you shared little Henry again too. Happy end of the weekend and have a great start to the new week. hugs-Erika
What a fun collection of books to read on your balcony time. I have read Le Petit Prince in French, English, and German!
It’s lovely to see how you’ve carved out moments to enjoy reading, even when the summer wasn’t perfect.
Today is National Read a Book Day?? In my house EVERY DAY is read a book day, although I don't read an entire book in one day! I have a stack on my bedside waiting to be read and my kindle has 387 books, but I spend too much time with the computer. I'll have to cut back and read more.
A very good collection of books you've shared and a cute Henry :)
All the best Jan
You read so much, Iris. I only read a few books and they were all mysteries.
Some interesting books you read. Have a great day.
Wow... you read a lot!
It’s lovely to see how you’ve carved out moments to enjoy reading, even when the summer wasn’t perfect. Your reflections show a genuine appreciation for stories, small adventures, and the little joys in life—like observing Henry or revisiting local landmarks. There’s something very human and encouraging about finding delight in books and simple moments, even amid minor frustrations. I’d love for you to stop by my latest posts as well, where I share thoughts on finding calm and contentment in everyday life.
Great collection of books was looking into the wisdom of sheep but no kindle version will look around for a used copy happy new week hugs
Dear friend Iris, there are a few books on your list here that I would love! I have always loved Betty White, so that one, for sure! I also love cows, so The Secret Life of Cows, oh, yes!
The Wisdom of Sheep and Other Animals...definitely! Baaaa! Heroes from the Ocean sounds great!
I hope you get lots of balcony time reading!
And you can read Baby Henry a story, too! :)
Love and hugs to you, dear friend.
I think i mange to read 2 books this summer.
Both animal books are very interesting! :-)
Yes, don´t say Braunschweig if it´s not...
Thank you, Erika, I sure do hope for a better week! Hugs and yes, animals are people, too.
Oh? Why in three languages? I always prefer the original - if I speak the language, that is!
The few moments I needed to enjoy :-)
That is exactly my problem! The computer! That shows me all the DVDs, too! On the right, on the left monitor there is still the "darn" internet...
On the balcony: No technology!
Thank you, it was quality-time!
I only read on the balcony or at the doctor or where else I have to wait, RedPat...
Yes, it was interesting indeed :-)
It was the whole summer! For that it is not much, I think... it was too cold too often...
I sure do need calm and contentment in everyday life and will pop by!
It´s really a great book, Kathy! Both! Hugs to you and the lake
Dear friend Linda, I just watched all of Golden Girls, too! And those animals really are people, too, they care for each other play and can be nasty, LOL. The ocean-book really was rather scary....Henry listened yesterday, love and hugs back!
In winter I manage rather zero...
