I think I need to set daily goals for this one, it's such a chonker! I love the in-line colour illustrations, though; I've been seeing that more often in books in the last couple years, but it's still so good.
Happy National Book Lovers Day
Theodora trying to decide what to read next.
Do you have any rules or guidelines for determining what you should read next?
For me, when picking something, I frequently pick something from a category or area that's different from the book I just read. I also might factor in how long it's been on my TBR list. However, there's been times I don't strictly follow these, and go with something that just catches my interest.

Tried to get the library a little more organized. Seems like a constant struggle.
The author uses diaries, library records, and other papers as well as elocution guides to reconstruct who was reading what in the 18th century and how. Reading was much more of a shared activity with people reading aloud to each other from newspapers, periodicals, non fiction, joke books, and religious works, and a good reading voice was essential.
This book looked great, but after an hour of the audio, I find myself not paying attention to it at all. I‘m not sure if it‘s me, the book, the timing, or the narrator. Maybe I‘ll try it again someday in print.
