🍿 Blurb 🍿
Summer settles across town, and for once, Ryan Owens can’t find it in himself to bask in it. Feeling like an outsider to his friends and adrift in the town he gives so much to, he resolves himself to a summer fighting for more than just himself. This year, there is more to the festivities than aesthetics and warm evenings. With the preparations for the carnival in full swing and the drive-in cinema in the works, he can’t afford any distractions. Especially now that there is so much to prove, so much to protect.

If there’s one thing in life that Nathan Garreth is certain of it’s how to take care of the nature reserve in the town he reluctantly calls home. His life doesn’t need anything other than his farmhouse, his gentle-natured dog Molly, and the fauna he plans to protect for as long as he’s able. The last thing he needs is for it to be disturbed by an overly organized, cheery planner who thinks he’s entitled to use part of the land for his own gain.

When the plans for the cinema get derailed, Ryan finds himself fighting for more than just the event. Nathan unwillingly finds himself in the middle of it. And along the way, both of them find the companionship they were lacking.

☀️🩷🍿

Release date: August 10th 2026

Šiųmetinė Knygų mugė man atnešė naują patirtį ir leido į didžiausią knygoholikų suvažiavimą pažvelgti iš kitos pusės: pirmą kartą joje dirbau 🫣💛

Buvau nusiteikusi neturėti jokių lūkesčių dėl programos ir per daug nesigraužti, kad kažką praleidžiu, nes nors per pertraukėles mugę aplėkti ir įmanoma, bet sudalyvauti renginiuose jau sudėtingiau. Dėl to dideliu laimėjimu laikau tai, kad net ir esant įtemptam grafikui dirbant per du @lankuciobiblioteka stendus visgi pavyko sudalyvauti dviejuose knygų pristatymuose – Jurgos Baltrukonytės ir Patricijos Tilvikaitės 💛

Kalbant apie pirkinius, tai šiemet jie pas mane praktiškai visi lietuviški – ir dėl to labai džiugu, nes tikrai turim labai gerų ir labai įvairių rašytojų 💛 Tad pirkau specialiai mugei taupytas Ilonos Madeleine („Viesulas“), Patricijos Tilvikaitės („Nepriklausomybė“), Akvilės Kavaliauskaitės („Jausmai“) ir Jurgos Baltrukonytės („Karštas autobusas“) knygas bei specialų „Ketvirtojo sparno“ leidimą (nes aišku, kad noriu pasikeisti jau turimą knygą į gražesnę 🤭).

Taip pat šiemet pirmą kartą per visus metus, kada dalyvauju Knygų mugėje, patekau į Muzikos salę 🤭 Visada tiek daug turiu ką veikti ir ką pamatyti pagrindinėje knygų salėje, kad tenai net neužeidavau (o ir apskritai nelabai suprantu muzikos salės koncepto Knygų mugės metu, sorry 😬). Bet dabar turėjau misiją – gauti FC Baseball vinilą 💛 Ko nesitikėjau, tai nusipirkti jį iš paties atlikėjo ir parvežti namo tą vinilą su autografu, ir dar nusifotografuoti kartu su Tautvydu – visiškai #fangirlmoment man ten buvo 🫠💛

Na ir be galo džiugu dėl susitikimų su knyginiais draugais: su kuo ilgiau, su kuo trumpiau mugėj pabendravom 💛 O su kuo tik pasilabinom ar susimojavom, atleiskit ir neteiskit – jei nesustojau ilgiau, vadinas skubėjau į pamainą 😁 Bet kokiu atveju, buvo nepaprastai géra matyti tiek daug pažįstamų ir nepažįstamų veidų, kurie švyti iš meilės knygoms 💛

Happy Sunday!

I can’t believe June is almost over. My goal for June was to introduce you to some criminally underrated books, and to uplift my fellow bookstagrammers. There’s enough negativity in this word at the moment, so I wanted to be as positive as I could. I hope I met both of these goals, and you enjoyed my posts. Saying that, the end of June doesn’t mean the end of these posts. They just won’t be posted that often.

Let’s get into part 5 of bookstagrammer’s recs.

Šis lipdukas, kurį parsivežiau iš mugės, idealiai atspindi mane: nors labiausiai patinka laiką leisti su knyga, bet niekada nepasakysiu ne pokalbiams apie knygas su tais, kurie jas myli lygiai taip pat kaip aš ❤

Apie tai man ir buvo ši Knygų mugė - labiau apie knygų žmones, o ne pačias knygas 📚❤

Mugėje buvau dvi dienas, ir abi važiavau pirmyn-atgal po 600 km - joks kelias ne per tolimas, joks kuras ne per brangus 😆 Pirmas užėjimas buvo su pilnu autobusu bibliotekininkių (pas jas meilė knygai net ne dviguba, o kokia keturguba! ❤), o antrąkart važiavau viena.

Bet net jei į mugę atvažiuoji vienas, mugėje niekada nebūsi vienas - ir nereikia net su kažkuo iš anksto tartis, bendraminčiai tiesiog visur 😁 Buvo ir taip, kad kalbėjomės keliese apie knygas, viena moteris vėliau patraukė savo keliais, ir aš klausiu pažįstamos - čia gal tavo kolegė buvo? Ne, maniau kad tavo, man atsako ši 😄 Bet o koks skirtumas? Jokio, nes mes visi apie tą patį juk 😄

Gera buvo sutikti leidyklose dirbančius ar net rašytojais tapusius kursiokus iš studijų laikų bei renginius moderuojančius buvusius kolegas; gera buvo susitikt su knygų autoriais, kuriems toks renginys - reta proga akis į akį susidurt su savo skaitytojais, dėl to visi tokie malonūs ir draugiški: mes dėkingi, kad jie rašo, jie dėkingi, kad mes skaitom. O dėl susitikimo su mylima Karen Swan aš dar ilgai skrajosiu padebesiais - nu koookio šiltumo ji žmogus! ❤

Ir net ta milžiniška masė žmonių nenervino - tikiu, kad Litexpo šį savaitgalį buvo didžiausias introvertų suvažiavimas Lietuvoje, po kurio mes vėl visi sukišim nosis į knygas 😁 Bet dabar mielai trynėmės užpakaliais ir kliuvinėjom viens už kito kuprinių, šypsojomės atsiprašinėdami 😅

O apie #bookstagram bendruomenę tai išvis trūksta žodžių: visos, su kuriom susitikau - nu jūs nerealios iki kaulų smegenų! Mano širdis džiaugiasi, kad turim tiek daug apie ką kalbėtis, ir lekiam viena pas kitą išskėstom rankom iš skirtingų miestų ir šalių! 🥰 Ir kalbu ne vien apie tas, su kuriom pati šitoj šventėj susitikau - buvo gera stebėt ir visų kitų storius, matyt tiek daug knygų sujungtų žmonių, kurie džiaugiasi vienas kito draugija ir draugystėm, kurios gimė iš knygų ❤

Before I get drunk, I wanted to take a moment to say thank you!

(If I’ve forgotten you on my list but have ever said thank you in my DMs or comments, then know you’re one of the people who have mattered this year and I’m so grateful to you💓)

Here’s to an amazing 2024!

That’s a wrap!

🇬🇧 Hi!

I was tagged by the lovely @quasarmylife in the #pinterestboardchallenge.

Is this how you do it? Did I understand it correctly? I’m panicking here.

Sad news - my vacation ended and I’m returning back to work so I won’t be as active.

I used yesterday and today to take as many photos as I could. The quality probably suffered a bit, but what can you do.

It’s my name day today so I treated myself to some books, I’ll post a reel as soon as they all arrive.

Hope you all have a great week!

I’m tagging some people to do this challenge, but no pressure as always.

🇨🇿 Ahoj!

Byla jsem označena ve výzvě můj bookstagram jako pinterest, tady je můj pokus o splnění.

Přeji všem krásný týden!
