Concentrated summer in one picture🌞🌼 Summer for me is strongly associated with childhood and I don’t know other authors apart from Ray Bradbury and Dylan Thomas whose reminiscences about childhood are so raw and vivid. Since you all must have read “Dandelion Wine”, I’ll recommend “Holiday Memory” by Dylan Thomas for those who want to live summer like a child. As for the scent of summer, for me it will always be camomile because no matter where I spent my school holiday - in the city or countryside - camomiles were everywhere, in abundance. Incidentally, this camomile perfume’s name is Mémoire d’une Odeur, so imagine what it means for a perfectionist that I am 😉 #bookstagram #instabookstagram #instabookstagrammer #instaperfume #whattoreadinsummer #whattoreadnext #whattoread #summerbooks #booksaboutchildhood #raybradbury #dandelionwine #dylanthomas #quiteearlyonemorning #welshauthor #welshpoet #welshpoetry #shortstorycollection #essays #greentowntrilogy #americanauthors #americanliterature #scentoftheday #scentofsummer #memoireduneodeur #gucciperfume (at Tallinn, Estonia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPyLoo7LnEu/?utm_medium=tumblr

I’ve read this book into what seems to be Indian summer, which I prefer over the real one (though the book made me softer, kinder to this season and I’m going to do my best to love summers more🙃). What is in the heart of the season according to the book? These: - affection you feel for a person you meet fleetingly but remember your single conversation years later🌼 - love for your sibling, which is always greater than you can show🌼 - feelings for your ex - nostalgic like the last days of summer 🌼 #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #instabook #instabookstagram #instabookstagrammer #whattoread #whattoreadnext #alismith #scottishauthor #summer #seasonalquartet (at Tallinn, Estonia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjGnxYoLPGv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today is Stanisław Lem’s birthday and this book caught in a perfect golden hour light is my favourite one by the author, and it is a hard-core satire (another favourite genre of mine🙃) Sooo…in the best tradition of Lovecraft you start reading a diary found in a government building, the only document left from the past (because paper has decomposed, been destroyed by a virus), of a person sent to that building to work. Then, in the best tradition of Kafka, you read about this person’s journey from room to room, along the endless corridors of the building, on a mission he doesn’t understand because he can’t get the instructions since nobody in the government building trusts anybody 👀 Lem said the book is "combination of grim weirdness with humor", just the kind of story I could read on any given day 🙃 #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #instabook #instabookstagram #instabookstagrammer #whattoread #whattoreadnext #polishliterature #polishauthor #stanislawlem #memoirsfoundinabathtub #satire #dystopia (at Tallinn, Estonia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiYYvm5L0P5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
