creatively deciding what bookish advent plans i will make

One of my life mottos is, "Let it be simple". 

That applies to my reading life as well. In that vein, I have been thinking of what I can do that's bookish for advent. 

My daughter is creating a poetry advent plan for me. I gave her a few poets and she chose some as well. I will read one per day with tea at night. 

I bought a few Penguin Black Mini Classics on kobo and will read one per day as well. 

these were only a few dollars each!

definitely looking forward to these

I am sitting surrounded by a stack of books (typical night time activity) and pondering what I will do to end my reading year.

I'm not a huge fan of rushing to read a certain number of works before the end of the year. I don't have judgment about those who do these sort of challenges. I think it's quite fun to watch videos of people doing this! I demand a lot from my literature, so that normally doesn't work for me, but these new additions are a way for me to engage with something similar.

I will definitely make posts for the books I intend to read before the year's end, as well as, what coffee I will be consuming.

I'm blogging myself reading Crime and Punishment and Lolita as a re-read and it's so crazy how much I have loved re-reading this season.

I am wishing you a calm and peaceful weekend filled with coffee and warm socks.
