#classicschallenge 2025 @Lunakay #JaneAustenThenAndNow @Crinoline_Laphroaig #VirginiaBloomsberries @AllDebooks #2025reads

Current read and one of the 62 books I've lined up in 2025. I read a mix of fiction & nonfiction, classic & contemporary. This year my main focus is Jane Austen, Bloomsbury Group, reading poetry, continuing with mythology, and trying to read a bit more science. I'm not very good at stickling to my plan, but I try.

AllDebooks Nice goals. I have The Mirror and the Palette to get to, as well. 2w

Lunakay Great plan! Switching plans is part of the fun! 😁 2w

Crinoline_Laphroaig You can never go wrong with Jane! 2w

Square Haunting: Five Lives in London Between the Wars | Francesca Wade

pick

I finished this a month ago but it was this month‘s read for #VirginiaBloomsberries, and post it now. Overall, an interesting read, especially the insight of what the 5 women achieved against the odds, which frequently was overshadowed by other biographical details of these women‘s lives. Mixed response but still a pick.

AllDebooks @TheBookHippie @Librarybelle lol, don't stress. It has been a busy month 😅 3w

kspenmoll I am not far at all in the book- 3w

AllDebooks I finished it last night on audiobook. I loved it, gonna get a physical copy. Wade has focused on 5 extraordinary women. I knew VW and Dorothy L Sayers but have never come across HD, Jane Harrison, or Eileen Power before. I'm intrigued enough to look up Harrison's and Power's work. 3w

kspenmoll I read HD. Want to continue! 3w

AnishaInkspill Writing – overall enjoyable but I thought at times the biographical details got in the way of how extraordinary these women were in not being deterred in what they wanted to achieve.

5 women – I knew Virginia Woold the best, & the bare minimum of Dorothy L Sayers and HD, so it was good to know > about them. I had not heard of Jane Harrison and Eileen Power before reading this book.

fav&their works – all, I‘d especially seek out their nonfiction. 3w

AllDebooks @kspenmoll ❤️ 3w

AllDebooks @AnishaInkspill yes, the biographical details did detract attention from their ambition, accomplishments, and dreams, which taken into context of the time period were worthy of greater emphasis. 3w

Librarybelle How can this be the last weekend of 2024??? After cleaning this morning, I plan to read—so many books to finish by the end of the year! This has been a good holiday, working a little bit and doing a lot of reading. Wishing everyone a good new year! 3w

Cupcake12 Had a nice quiet Christmas. I‘ve already been back to work but today I‘m at home catching up on Xmas tv, cuddled up with my fur babies. I have some book store vouchers so I‘m looking at purchasing new books too. Xx 3w

AllDebooks @Librarybelle It's crazy how quick it's gone? My theory is that if you're involved in the academic year, time flies by. I'm hoping time slows down once my beasties are all finished with school and college. I'm planning on much the same as you in the run-up to new year. Enjoy your reading xx 3w

TheSpineView Thanks for the tag! 3w

tpixie @AllDebooks TODAY is our family Christmas- all 4 kids are here with 6 grandkids & a friend. Sadly, my son-in-law just had knee surgery & he tried to wean off his meds too fast & he‘s been in pain so decided to stay at his mother‘s house a little longer instead of being part of our craziness these last couple days.- which is a good decision, but we miss him. Our big dinner is tomorrow! No reading except in the middle of the night! 😝 Wild but fun 3w

kspenmoll I am so happy- a nice long break from work/ HS-I don‘t go back until 1/2/25. This has been a leisurely time. Today we are having freezing rain so I plan to read! 3w

Bookwormjillk I‘m in agreement with all of you that it‘s crazy how fast this year went. We still have house guests until the 1st so not a lot of reading time here. It is nice to see everyone but the social batteries of this family of introverts are draining quickly. Hoping to encourage the guests to take an outing today 😂 3w

Bookwormjillk @tpixie Enjoy! 3w

Librarybelle Good luck with your reading too, @AllDebooks ! 3w

TheBookHippie Freezing rain and multiple barometric pressure shifts here -it‘s like a rollercoaster! Yikes. Mr Book Hippie has off until January 6 as does my son -so we‘re huddled in with books movies homework scholarship applying …I‘m trying to stay this side of a migraine. About to make coffee… 3w

TheBookHippie @Bookwormjillk 😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 3w

TheBookHippie My daughter is recovering much better now. She goes back to work at school January 13. 3w

AllDebooks @Cupcake12 I would already have picked out my books, hoping for vouchers. Enjoy your relaxing day with your fuf babies x 3w

AllDebooks @tpixie Sounds like SO much fun. Wishing you SIL well. Enjoy your family time xx 3w

AllDebooks @kspenmoll how lovely that you both have a nice, long break x 3w

AllDebooks @TheBookHippie oh that weather does sound challenging. Stay warm and well. So glad your daughter is getting better and still has a couple of weeks to recover before back to work. 3w

AllDebooks @Bookwormjillk it is lovely to have family visiting but hard work trying to keep everyone happy. I'd be stood at the door like a drill major yelling at everyone to get outside 3w

tpixie @TheBookHippie great news about your daughter 3w

TheBookHippie @tpixie so relieved. ♥️ 3w

dabbe @tpixie Embrace the craziness! Have a wonderful day, and I hope your SIL rests and takes those meds! 🩵💙🩵 3w

dabbe @kspenmoll I never understood how important time off was until I taught high school. Enjoy! 🤩😂🤗 3w

dabbe @Bookwormjillk I love @AllDeBook's advice: stand at the door with their coats and shoo them outside! 🩵💙🩵 3w

dabbe @TheBookHippie Hope that migraine stays far away. #huddlesandcuddles 🩵💙🩵 3w

dabbe @TheBookHippie And yay for your daughter! 🩵💙🩵 3w

dabbe Enjoying coffee with Matt and the dogs on the couch with me in front of a fire. I just finished STILL LIFE and am looking for the next book. So many to choose from: the best problem to have ever! Hoping for a quiet day in the den just like we are right now. 🩵💙🩵 3w

Eggs Raining like crazy here ☔️ . If it stops I‘ll be audio walking and getting rid of useless stuff in garage, so I can make our house sale-ready…😟 3w

Bookwormjillk @TheBookHippie so glad she is doing better! What a relief that must be! Re:guests they‘re out for the afternoon and they took the dog! 3w

TheBookHippie @Bookwormjillk It is. Such a tough go at the beginning. I‘m relieved she‘s looking better. 3w

willaful Time is moving so fast, even my daughter is starting to notice it!

DebinHawaii I had quiet holidays with lots of naps, was back at work yesterday then it‘s work Monday with Tues/Wed off then back at work again. Just trying to rest up & nip the latest bug to get me. 🤧😷 Currently out running errands & grabbing coffee, then probably heading back home for a nap. 3w
