Hydrating and caffeinating for some reading.

Tunes blasting, cleaning house (purging and getting in all the nooks and crannies) is oddly satisfying and calming.
Weird, right?
pickA nice collection of Oscar Wilde's plays. The Importance of being Earnest is so funny, I laughed out loud more than once, the concept of Bunburying absolutely brilliant.Lady Windermere's fan was probably my favourite, less funny but the characters have a bit more flesh. Some characters and dialogues of A woman of no importance reminded me a bit too much of The Picture of Dorian Gray and felt like a re-read at times, but I really enjoyed the plot⬇️
#WDNCW that we don‘t celebrate the 4th. We never really have…Autistic child that hates fireworks. Also I do not feel very festive. I do not want to celebrate our forefathers (that came from immigrant families) as we are a nation of immigrants & we are currently deporting immigrants. None of the signers of the Declaration of Independence are Indigenous. Plus that the oppression & exploitation of others was used to build this country. No thanks
so-soDefinitely displays what life can be when someone is not in tune with what is important in life. It‘s not about how much you make, or the prestige that one has, it‘s not about what others think about you, it‘s about close relationships with the people you love and fulfilling quality time and memories with them. Call off, turn off the television, go to the beach, and read a good book. Don‘t dwell on the past and enjoy the present.
#JuneSpecials Picnic. When I looked up songs that deal with picnic, thus song was included. I don't see it, but since Led Zeppelin is the best group ever! I'll take their word for it. Ha! Dwyer Mak'er @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
pickElizabeth Rex, by Timothy Findley (2000 🇨🇦)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Premise: On the night before her lover is put to death on her orders, a restless Queen Elizabeth I spends time with William Shakespeare‘s troupe and gets into a battle of wits about the performance of gender with a man who has spent his whole career in drag.
Review: This is probably my favourite play-as-literature thus far. Cont.
pickEven though interviews are definitely not my favouritw kind of text type I enjoyed the interviews with Judi Dench very much. She is a very witty person and her insight on the different characters were very interesting. I‘m going to use excerpts of this book in my English lessons for sure. 💪💪💪
