Oh my... I've been busy busying used books from nonprofits lately. I have a few still left to come in and then I will "record" a haul here.
I thought I would have reread Anna Karenina, but I was in the mood for War and Peace. I took my time to read it, and finished it while on vacation in New York this summer. Some don't think of War and Peace as a traveling summer story, but I do. It was the best companion for my train ride, and to sink into in the morning with my coffee before the busy hot days, and late at night after getting back in.
I do love making lists and plans, and it just works with my personality and makes me so happy (and I have a new collection of post its to prove it), and I am surrounded right now by my commonplace journal, my favorite Japanese pens, and a few books (and a kindle).
It's 9:00 pm (on the dot!) and this is a favorite way to spend a Friday night. I had a cup of green tea, a homemade brownie with walnuts, and I am eager to see where my mood will take me for my novel choices for this month.
Starting in a few weeks, my life is going to get very very busy. As much as I wish I had prepared more for this month, I've been treading and keeping my head above water with all of my responsibilities at home.
This post is an attempt to organize my bookish plans and thoughts. Remember, this blog is my personal reading journal- much like my BookTube channel used to be.
