Caught Up On a Sunday: Hot Coffee, Pajamas, and Charged Kindles

The kindle collection is a bit obsessive. It really sucks because Amazon has been annoying me to no end.

I cancelled Kindle Unlimited this past week. Not sure if I will sign back up, but am working to just purchase from authors I enjoy.

My life has been so darn overwhelming and I am making space for my emotional experiences. It hasn't left me in the mood to write things that should be consumed by the public, but alas here we are.

I want to continue to use this 4th iteration of a book blog as a book diary and that means I need to work on capturing my thoughts on what I'm reading and organize it better.

True... this blog doesn't get many readers, but it's purpose is to have a reading diary that I can go back and look at. Perhaps I'll recreate a BookTube channel that will catalog my reads, but until then this is all I have and I will work to invest just a little into it from now on.

Last nite, I cleaned up my currently reading and put a few titles in "soft DNF" status. I just needed to clear them from my "currently reading". I will return to them (I'm looking at you Trollope), but the mental energy to tackle an 820+ page book right now WHILE reading 5-7 others was just too much.

My current classic re-read is Sense and Sensibility. I'm about 25% of the way through. I need to finish it so that I can move onto Mansfield Park in August.

Otherwise, I'm just organizing my book life and making a slight TBR for the second half of July.

I am missing my quiet novels (think Ferrante and Brookner), and am having an overwhelming desire to ONLY read books that feel transformative to me. This may cull the never ending TBR for sure. 

I'm off to finish my second aeropress and read a bit. 

I hope your Sunday is as quiet as mine.

2024 Reading Intentions

I love a good goal. :) However, setting intentions is so much better. It's an energetic exchange. A crafting of a lifestyle... As a qui...
