What I did learn over my week-long wooded sojourn is that summers are bookish no matter where you are. After all, it is what you make them to be anyways, right?

So while I did miss my posts as part of the daily challenge for the past couple of days, I am not attempting to play catch up this time around. I will skip past them with the adrenaline coursing through me from the walking in the woods.

Last Week

So here is what I did last week as well as the posts I did publish. I hiked – a lot – and did other Scout camp things as well. Totally enjoyed myself doing all of them too – a bit of rifle shooting, some archery practice, and star-gazing. It was a first time try for me at both archery and rifle shooting, and suffice to say, I will definitely be trying them again when I can!

Star-gazing out in the wilderness away from the lights of civilization is vastly different and way more of a sublime experience. As we listened to the call of bull-frogs, we gazed on the vastness of the Milky Way, on the ever-lovely moon; and came away more aware of our tiny imprint on the universe, and came away feeling rejuvenated.

Moving on to my posts, here are last week’s posts:

• Sunday Scribblings #12: Summering Bookishly
• Hiking and Treasure Hunts
• Top 10 Fictional Bookworms
• Clerihew for Who
• Throwback Thursday in My Bookish Summer

And yes, Summers are Bookish! I did do a bit of reading amidst those over 45 miles of hiking (I know, I can’t believe it myself), and other activities… So what did I read? A bit of Perry Mason after a couple of decades and some more of ‘Why We Write’ and ‘Educated’ as well as a couple more

Coming Up Next

A couple of book reviews of books I read over the last week, more bookish lists and some bookish tips and treats…

A Little Bit of Randomness

Here are some upcoming National and World Days for this week that appealed to me the most:

• National Give Something Away Day on July 15th
• World Emoji Day on July 17th
• National Moon Day on July 20th (and it is the 50th anniversary celebration of the day when man first walked on the moon)

Wrapping Up My Sunday Scribblings

Here is wishing you a wonderful bookish time wherever you are..
