Ending August On a Literary High

I've been reading some great books lately.

I think this is because I DNF anything that doesn't feel like it will be a 5 star read or 5 star reading experience. 

I am still trying to figure out a way to wrap up Lolita. A top read of the year for certain. I DNFed it 3 times before finishing it this time. Powerfully biting and extremely uncomfortable. 

I have some Fall reading plans that make me so excited. I have a heavy set of circumstances right at my front door, and anxiety has had me reaching for the remote control rather than my kindle.

That will change as September rolls in. 

I finished the month reading Lolita + Mistress and Maid. They are both very very deeply moving books for varied reasons.

As I walk into the end of this year, it's a great time to remember that it is important for me:

1. Reading is a deep wellness practice
2. Participate as much or as little in readathons as allows me to stay true to my reading taste
3. Community is always great when it comes to reading

Off to design my September TBR :)
