As I sit here with cold feet and chilled arms, I can't help but long for warmer weather! Last night I told T that I was moving to Hawaii as soon as possible. I wish I could follow through with that!
Three Books That Make Me Long For Warmer Weather
- The Amelia Peabody series by Elizabeth Peters -- Set in Egypt, the sun is always blaring in these books.
- The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett -- This book makes me long for a garden where I can just lay down and read and absorb the rays.
- A Caribbean Mystery by Agatha Christie -- I too would love to be on the beach, enjoying cocktails and swimming!
Imagining a respite from the grey,

I can absolutely relate to both the sentiment and the books! Unfortunately, I saw the Mystery in the Caribbean movie not too long ago, or I'd probably pull it off the shelf today, now that you've reminded me of it.
ReplyDeleteI live pretty far south, and while we haven't suffered like the folks in the northeast, I sometimes wonder whether we don't FEEL as cold because we're not psychologically equipped for it (and neither are our houses - well, not psychologically, but you know what I mean ...)
I totally agree with regards to the Amelia Peabody series and thoughts of searing sun. I'm not a huge fan of hot weather, but this winter has been a bear.
ReplyDeleteThese all sound wonderful! I haven't read any of them but I have heard of Amelia Peabody and it really interests me. Thanks for the great list!
ReplyDeleteSolsticia - Yes, we've had an unseasonably warm winter here in the Pacific Northwest but it still feels cold!
ReplyDeleteJane - I think I'm going to restart the Amelia books soon. I think there is a new one this summer too!
Rebecca - Amelia Peabody books should count for the Women Unbound challenge! She's awesome!
I have not read any of these titles either!! I've been thinking about this list lately and I just cannot seem to come up with three books!! It is beginning to make me wonder if I am just into drab and dreary these days!!
ReplyDeleteTif - Well, maybe it's just a sign that you are content with where you are and not longing for something else. ;)
ReplyDeleteHmmm . . . Good point! Though there are many days that I do wish I was where you are!! :)
