New Year's Day
New Year's Day | Edith Wharton
30 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
The sad story of Lizzie Hazeldean in New York in the 1870's, ''New Year's Day'' is filled with the author's ruefulness about social strictures that force her heroine into undertaking an adulterous relationship.

✨2021 Reading Goals ✨

• Read more nonfic (perennial goal)
• Read poetry every day (*first thing* in the morning)
• Read ALL of my Book Club‘s picks this year (🙈 I‘m a bad seed)
• Read at least 1 Children‘s Classic per season
• Read a bunch of the page-to-screen adaptions I‘ve been putting off: most importantly, “Good Omens” & “The Haunting of Hill House”
•Read at least one chunkster (it‘s been a WHILE)

#ReadingResolutions

monalyisha Later additions: •Read some Moomin. It‘s what I call my rabbit at least a third of the time (even though her name is Moxie). I should probably know what kind of energy I‘m summoning. 😅 •Make a real effort to at least TRY to get my Reading Journal up-to-date. 🙈 (edited) 4y

I totally forgot to post this earlier this week. I managed to outdo my 2018 reading goal! True, I counted picture books, graphic novels, and audiobooks, but in my mind they count! I‘ve upped this year‘s goal to 300. I can‘t wait to read and discover new books this year!

This really is worth reading. Perfect length, a longer story would have gotten tiresome. Interesting plot twist and books feature heavily in the story. #newyearsday

Intended to finish this last night but day caught up with me. I've tea and quiet today. Settling in to finish New Years Day. So far it's quite good: "Long as she and her husband had lived together, this passion of his remained for her as much a mystery as on the day when she surprised him, mute and absorbed, over what people she had always lived with would have called 'a deep book.' It was her first encounter with a born reader."

Suet624 Lovely quote. 6y
Crinoline_Laphroaig @Suet624 it was a surprisingly interesting read. Good plot twist. Lots of book quotes. 6y

Not bad! But not as much as I'd hoped. I ended up having a friend over last night for movies and pizza, and as much as I love reading, I think friends are more important. :)

New year, new reading log!



Happy New Year, Littens! May your year be filled with many a cozy armchair & never-ending stacks of books ♥️

My 2019 goal is back to 70 books, & 20 AOC, 7 w/ LGBTQIA+ characters, 1 nonfiction. It‘s both daunting & exhilarating to stare at that 0% on goodreads & this empty spread, thinking of all the books it‘s going to fill up with.

Got any #readingresolutions of your own? I‘d love to know!

#BuJo #bulletjournal

Freespirit Your resolutions look great. Mine are to take more time for reading ( less TV😊), try to read 50 books, audiobooks in the car and when I walk instead of podcasts, 2 non-fiction, a book of short stories, and a school re-read 😊😊 6y

So this is happening. I‘m trying to read off my giant pile at home, but this is a one day event.😳Maybe start my new book buying ban tomorrow?Or maybe I‘m off the hook because Changing Hands sells used as well as new?That‘s my first rationalization of the New Year!😂📚
They close the Phoenix store this day, they need all staff in Tempe to handle this sale.If you are around,it‘s great.

Happy New Year everyone! In addition to the New Year, today is also Westley's 5th birthday, so I will be spending the day spoiling him! He's already had his peanut butter banana pupcake & later he will get gifts & go for a ride to visit his grandma.

Spending the day appreciating & celebrating this sweet pup seems like the perfect way to start the New Year! I hope everyone is having a wonderful first day of 2019 as well! #HappyNewYear #DogsOfLitsy

Does anyone else put an unreasonable amount of thought into what book will be the first you read in the new year? I feel like it sets the tone for the rest of the year.

What are you reading first?

Naj I'm thinking of starting the new year with The Secret History. I've heard only great things about it and I like books with an academic setting. So, it's a pretty safe choice. 6y
