But like so much else in America, nothing is the same: Blair, the oldest sister, is marooned in Boston, pregnant with twins and unable to travel. Every year the children have looked forward to spending the summer at their grandmother's historic home in downtown Nantucket. It's 1969, and for the Levin family, the times they are a-changing.
Welcome to the most tumultuous summer of the twentieth century. Dream big this week.Description Four siblings experience the drama, intrigue, and upheaval of the '60s summer when everything changed in Elin Hilderbrand's #1 New York Times bestselling historical novel. I think I’m going to cross the line into old person territory today and buy myself that fanny pack. None of this has to do with the church or street shown here except for the fact that I could have had a much easier time taking this photo if I didn’t have to balance holding my keys and water bottle and phone in one hand. The fanny pack belt bag is still sitting in the shopping cart. That makes us too old,” he dropped his head and walked away. “Why not? I like to be hands-free when I walk!” I responded. Garrett finally broke when he looked over my shoulder as I was ordering a fanny pack-or belt bag, whatever the cool kids are calling them these days-online.
I Still Love You, and Always and Forever, Lara Jean, and, finally, The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. I read Summer of ‘69 by Elin Hilderbrand and the To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before series by Jenny Han: To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, P.S. That said, I still surpassed my goal of reading two books in July. It took me the rest of the month to get through my final read, The Night Circus, because, well, I didn’t really love it and I was prioritizing time with my travel companions over time with my books. Actually, four of the five books that I read last month were all finished in Santorini by July 12, before we met up with everyone.
Since we were with friends and family for more than half of the month, I didn’t have a whole lot of time to read. We didn’t stop moving, and we didn’t stop laughing. We were visiting my cousin in London and traveled with our friends throughout Italy: 3 days each in Praiano and Taormina, 2 days each in Siracusa and Modica, and finally met up with Garrett’s parents in Germany. In July, Garrett and I were in Greece (Athens and Santorini), the U.K (London), Ireland (Garrett spent 24 hours in Dingle for my cousin’s stag party), Italy (Praiano on the Amalfi Coast and Taormina, Siracusa, and Modica in Sicily), and Germany (Bacharach and Munich).
