a quiet fall into spring 2025

The noise in the world and in the book community has left me reflective and silent. 

It seems that people circle round and round  the exact same topics: don't count your books, read faster, read slower, read more, read less... It's inane and exhausting. I'm also a highly sensitive person so take what I say with a pinch of pink Himalayan salt. 

My point is: Do what you want. Read what you want. However much you want. As often or not as you want. 

I'm an endless re-reader and people always tell me how boring that must be... Their opinion is valid, but I don't have to listen to it, and I'd never follow it. It applies all over the book community. Focus on letting literature change you. Open you. Transform you. Forget all else. 

Here's how I've fallen into spring in a quiet and subtle way....

endlessly tabbing and journaling my multiple books

tons of commonplacing, journaling, & reflecting
