Private Book Blog and Thoughts This Week

I've decided finally to make this reading blog private in the future. I'd like my daughter (if she chooses to) and myself to have a space where I catalog what I'm reading and how I'm feeling about it.

This incessant need to turn every single thought and action into a productivity march is exhausting and I quit. I may even quit this blog. I am unsure. 

In the meantime, I've cleaned up my kindle and I am now keeping just a currently reading folder open and that has helped to organize my thoughts. My reading has slowed down tremendously and I really enjoy that. 


I've discovered Jill Mansell- who I am sure I read a million years ago, but I have a host of her books on hold at my library and I am excited beyond measure to get to them. I thought I might go out to the library later, but there is truly no need so I will stay in and read what I have in between some business.

This week and month are almost rounding down and I quite interested in the process of reading less and reading so much slower.

My current re-read of Anna Karenina is going so so so slowly and I just love it. I could honestly read this novel in a week or two, but my goal is about 3 months or a little less.

I love that.

The less BookTube I watch (or the more specific BookTubers I watch), the more my own reading tastes naturally come back.

I know the order of the world is all social internet connections, but I have to admit, it doesn't gel with me. I'm going to keep forging my own path- even if it leaves me on the edge alone.

Happy reading.
