It's early in the morning. very early. The only thing on my mind is hot coffee + oat milk and ignoring today's responsibilities.
Alas, I'll march on and do what needs to be done, but in the meantime, I am going to journal deeply and read a few pages in Sense and Sensibility. I am rereading it before the new film adaptation next week.
This Autumn I am of course reareading endlessly. When the sun doesn't come out, the appointments are plentiful, and it gets gloomy outside- I reread ALL my favorites.
This year, I do have a few "never been read before books" on my tbr, but we will ignore those for now
Upcoming in no particular order...
- Jude the Obscure by Thomas Hardy the GOAT
- Sense and Sensibility (almost finished)
- Within a Budding Grove by Proust (usually I reread Swann's Way in December, but I'm called to book 2, so that's the choice)
- Jane Eyre- because would I even be me if I didn't read this at least once a year?
- Beloved- Toni Morrison's 1987 novel
Those are the rereads. There are so many other reads on my list AND I have a ton of work I'm doing for school. Seems like I need to turn off the late night K-dramas in favor of reading, but I'll let you know how that goes.
I have a meeting tonight, my candle is lit and my tea is hot.
As Fall comes sliding in, it will find me in cozy socks, sweaters, and with a stack of books next to me.
Happy reading. ☕️
