Clean Reads By The Sea (Summer Book Club) 2024 discussion

Ahhh, I adore Julie Klassen's writing. I feel as if I'm there, in Sidmouth. Don't you? I'm starting today's reading. Please comment your thoughts about Chapters 1-4 in this thread here.

Also, (Since it's brand new), if you are on Patreon with us, find today's chapters prompt over there in the cool lil chat box and comment there. Have a great reading day!!

I just started! Love the map at the beginning. Is anyone else going to be discussing on here?

I love the map too. About to finish up chapter 3 and 4 myself right now.

I’m enjoying the stories of the different sisters and getting to know them. The setting sounds wonderful to me. English cottage and the sea!

Yes, I've only read two chapters (about to read 3 & 4 now) and it's so cozy!!! Is it just me, or is she fantastic at pulling you right into the scene?

Maps are always a promising sign! I'm planning on discussing here, Bethany, unless it turns out to be just me, Spirit, and tumbleweeds.

This is my first time reading a book by Julie Klassen. I've been wanting to try out her writing for awhile. I was particularly drawn to this one because of the setting, the storyline, and let's be real, that gorgeous cover.

Yes, I will be discussing here.
Unfortunately I didn't start the book yet. I did glance at it though and the map is great!

I’ve read up to 4- haven’t quite finished it yet. I’m really hooked so far! I’ve also never read a book by this author. I’m looking forward to it. I have the library large print copy- the cover isn’t super great. I do think the og cover is gorgeous! I looked up a YT video of sidmouth to get a bit of a visual. Looks like a beautiful area.

If you follow Christian Faith and Fiction on YouTube she filmed footage from the places mentioned. It was a couple months back.

It's promising when the book starts with scripture!

Oh, thank you for this, Cathryn!

I didn't start reading until today, I'm late to the party haha! I should have known better, I probably won't be able to finish by Friday.
However, I am enjoying this book very much! The scenery sounds just lovely. I'm enjoying the housekeeping aspect, dividing the chores etc...
Curious what comes of Viola reading to the neighbor...
