Books, Coffee +June Come Out & Play Giveaway Hop
Being off for more than a week has given me plenty of time to catch up on a bit of reading along with other things. You would not believe the amount of work I have not only caught up on but have also gotten a bit ahead on. One thing that I have done while away is visit Starbucks! Now, I don’t drink coffee anymore but I went and got a couple of cold drinks that I saw on Instagram and wanted try. Surprisingly they weren’t bad. The trip reminded me how much I loved to have coffee while reading a good book.

Now, I have a cup of tea sometimes with a good book. I love sitting out in the porch swing sipping my tea and losing myself in a book. My favorite time of the year to this is when the weather is cooler. In the summer that glass most likely has iced tea in it.
I thought today instead of a long drawn out post I would just share a little note about Starbucks and the place I like to sit and read sometimes. Although I will admit to having been reading by the pool a little this summer. Not a public pool so don’t anyone get upset. Other than that I thought why not give y’all a giveaway. Just something fun. Of course the hop is thanks to The Mommy Island, The Kids Did It, and Zombie Parenting.

My favorite book is the Dispossessed by Ursula Le Guin. It is my favorite because it combines a genre that I love (science fiction) with serious philosophical considerations…without sacrificing the plot. It doesn’t seem pedantic. It has a great story

My favorite author is John Steinbeck and I find it quite impossible for me to name one of his books that I prefer over the other as I love them all. About every couple of years, I reread one of his books and I have never failed, over several decades, to spark new discoveries as his words tumble off the page and into my psyche. If you have never read Steinbeck, I can recommend that you start with The Wayward Bus, which is just a sampling of his writing genius.
Gabrielle
My favorite book takes me through every emotion.
