This is such a beautiful post, I really love the image of cheating on your so meticulously planned reads and your comments on distance are powerful. Have you read Rebecca Solnit's Field Guide to getting lost? She talks a lot about distance and longing and memory, as well as 'the blue of distance'. It's super interesting and I'm intrigued by the blue parallel (even if possiby entirely coincidental!) - will check out blue light hours for sure
Thank you for your kind words and for the comment! I haven't read Solnit's yet, but I am duly adding it to my list of books to look for! I absolutely love it when one of my posts reminds someone of a book (related or not!) that they have read!
A beautifully written exploration both your feelings and the ideas and literature around 'home'. Blue Lights Hour sounds wonderful; it is going on my list! Such a beautiful cover and title, too.
I really enjoyed reading this Juliana & I am going to add this book to my tbr, I am intrigued! Sometimes the books we never plan to read are the best ones x
You know, Martha, I think some of my favorites in the past couple of years have been exactly that: "unplanned" books! Let me know when you do get to Blue Light Hours!
