  Hello lovely reader friends! Happy Sunday! I cannot tell you how much I love the weekends. I spend so much time filling my well with creative pursuits!  Today in Detroit it is cloudy and 77. I was hoping for sun, as I am in love with reading out on my balcony! I try to get out there for at least 30 minutes every day.  Today I am linking up with :  The Sunday Salon: Deb @ Readerbuzz The Sunday Post @ caffeinatedbookreviewer  It's Monday!  What Are You Reading?   Stacking the Shelves @ Reading Reality *************************************************************************** WHAT AM I READING THIS WEEK:    I am reading so many things and finished none of them! I've decided to put a couple of them on hold until I finish something! I am absolutely crazy like that and end up taking on too many things in every area of my life.  * A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty White (about 35% complete) How have I not read this before? Oh my goodness! S...

  Hello bookish friends!  I'm linking up with:  The Sunday Post And I'ts Monday, What Are YOU Reading?  In June I joined Benjamin McEvoy's Hardcore Literature Book Club via Patreon. I was having a lot of trouble getting interested in reading just about anything. Even my favorite genre, thrillers, wasn't holding my attention. I decided to do something crazy - read some classics.  I'd watched some of McEvoy's YouTube videos previously over the past couple of years, and I just loved the way he gets into a classic. He discusses the author, the theme, the history, other works by the author, similar works, books that inspired the author, and of course he breaks down the book, chapter by chapter.  For June, we read what he entitled a "Dystopian Double Bill." Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World," and George Orwell's "1984." I honestly couldn't remember reading BNW, but knew that I was assigned 1984 in highschool. (Not that I rem...
