Rainy Day Start To The Weekend Reads

The last audible listen before my subscription cancels

I fancy myself an eclectic reader. This can be summarized into "I read anything I want to, whenever I want to"- unless it relates to academics or work. 

I get asked all the time how I read classics AND romance... how I can possibly combine my love of the great works of literature with romance novels (and now) cozy mysteries. My answer: we are multifaceted as humans.

DON'T force yourself to be ONE kind of reader or ONE kind of anything.

With that statement out of the way, I am celebrating finishing the entirety of In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust (review forthcoming), and am settling into the rest of this busy year with books that make me smile- alongside my beloved classic literature.

I debated whether or not to do a reread before the year ends, but I'm in the mood for new characters and experiences.

This weekend is my mom's birthday and a big trip (will tell you about it next week) and it will involve some nice train time to read something great. So, I'm making time to organize my books (made a new spreadsheet) and am also deciding what I will do with my reading time for Friday and Saturday nights.

This weekend I am aiming to continue or start

See? Eclectic :) 

Stroke of Winter by Wendy Webb was one of the Amazon Prime First Reads. I don't normally download any of them, but decided to give this one a try. This will be my train read. That may be a bad idea when I'm on the train at midnight, but it should be a good experience either way.

Wishing you a peaceful start to the weekend my slow reading friends.
