your lost quote experience is one of the reasons I so prefer to read novels on my kindle. I can highlight as I like, and then they're all collected together in one handy place, and travel with me whether I own the book or get it from the library (which is my general modus operandi).
This summer I read many books, but the ones that have stuck with me are The Turtle House, by Amanda Churchill, and Anne Lamott's Somehow.
That is a benefit of the kindle! I'm so glad that works for you. Unfortunately, I hate reading on a screen. I'm usually better at making a note of a great quote somewhere. And I haven't read either of those books; thanks for sharing!
I love this! I was enthralled by A Gentleman in Moscow (apparently there is a film now? or a miniseries? must google...). This summer I've read slowly, things I can savor: Jayber Crow (first time! wow!), Everything Sad is Untrue (a re-read, a top 10 fave -- look up Nayeri's commencement speech at Wheaton!), and This Homeward Ache by Amy Baik Lee. All have been beautifully savory experiences.
Thanks for sharing all of this, Sarah! I haven't read Jayber Crow. I had Hannah Coulter and I loved and hated it. It was a strange reaction to it. I do want to check out the film version of A Gentleman in Moscow. I also found a podcast that discussed the book that I haven't been able to listen to yet. It was the Close Reads podcast if you want to check it out!

well that stinks. I'm glad you take notes though because I feel like it's such a great practice!

Love your shirt!
Thank you!
Now I want to read A Gentleman in Moscow!
Also, love your shirt. Can you link it?
You should read it! I love the shirt too but it was a gift. Maybe look on Etsy? That's very helpful. hahaha
I just finished "A Gentleman in Moscow" as well--such a delightful read, and it got me really curious about Russia and the Bolsheviks!
