Thank you so much for your kind words, Colene! 😊 I have not heard of those books. They sound so interesting, will have to check them out. 👍

I love the quote from Airs Above the Ground. You do meet people that seem to be complaining, outraged at something or another, or drawn to unnecessary drama all the time. (Haven’t they said that anger gives you some kind of chemical boost?) I thought that quote was so insightful. I love a good “journey” book for a summer read.

I love insightful quotes like that too! I feel like it helps me process people I meet in real life, then I understand what I'm encountering more and can place it in context instead of just letting it annoy me. 😂 You do sometimes come across those determined complainers, lol! Books that let you do some armchair travel are so much fun for summer!

I love Eva Ibbotson's young adult books and I love reading stories with ballerinas! But I do worry about her "adult content" as I tend to be a little sensitive. Hmmmmm... Thank you for sharing the book!

Eva Ibbotson is such a charming author - I wish she had left those elements out of her adult books. I suppose it's relatively tame compared to what's out there (if it was a truly "adult" book, I would steer clear of it completely 😆), but I don't think the immorality adds anything, and it always makes me feel awkward reading/recommending her books! 🤷🏻‍♀️
