I always love visits to England for their literary tourism opportunities! Yesterday I visited the Globe Theatre, a reconstruction of the original Globe, and then ran into Shakespeare-inspired street art while strolling around the area!

Here are my picks from the current Audible sale. Got all these beauties for quite cheap.
Anybody else taking advantage of the sale?
pickAn interesting way to write about Shakespeare's life. I particularly enjoyed reading about how Elizabethan audiences would have reacted to the plays and just what Shakespeare was doing that made these plays groundbreaking. Now to re-read Julius Caesar and read As You Like It!

“On the average, it is likely hat over a third of London‘s adult population saw a play a month.”
Shakespeare and his fellow playwrights were kept very busy.
I ❤️❤️❤️ the idea of Wunderkammer or wonder-cabinets. It should like Whitehall Palace in Shakespeare‘s day had many fascinating curiosities that potentially inspired him. #myyearwithwill
Trying to squeeze in a little Will before I head to work!!! I would prefer to stay home and read all day!
Fun fact! Since 2014, my goal has been to see 12 theater productions a year! Most years I see more than 12 productions. Living in London in the late 1500s had it‘s challenges (the plague), but 1/3 still managed to see the importance of needing entertainment.
Planning to delve deep into another book about Shakespeare for #myyearwithwill jjourney. This will be my fourth book about his life and works. Stay turned for fascinating nuggets of information about him.
Instead of my usual alphabetical search, I searched by oldest on my TBR list and found some good stuff. A very happy start to my new year.
pickA truly unique biography. Utterly readable and novel-sequel in style.
