Not a lot of reading today because I was seeing a matinee of The Lion King. It‘s been years since I‘d seen the show and the production was just as impressive as the first time. I love the way it uses puppetry to tell the story.

pickThis was a quick and easy read. I fell back into reading Shakespeare like it was yesterday. I took a Shakespeare course in college and enjoyed it very much. This play wasn‘t included in my course so, of course, I had to read it. 👍🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What a feel for 1930‘s - 40‘s Ireland. Strict Catholicism and British occupation in a misty land. At first the style was difficult (you, he, she) but it‘s not so bad. I, father, mother. The story settled in and carried me along through this Irish village life, which could be hard for all but especially it‘s women.

I have to break from the Bridgerton series. I‘m listening to it on hoopla and I‘ve reached my 10 book limit until next month. 🫤 I‘ve never read Macbeth before so I thought I‘d give it a try.
pickOh my goodness I love this book! I reread it this week and was reminded why this simple story is so powerful. It‘s the real story of a woman writing letters back and forth over two decades with a bookseller in London. But it‘s the human connection over an ocean that is beautiful. Their shared love of literature and genuine kindness was so refreshing. I can‘t recommend it enough. It‘s just lovely. Definitely going to reread the sequel next.
pickThis conclusion to a trilogy of plays (set at Pemberley at Christmas) was just the icing on the cake. It even flashes forward in the second act so we can see how everyone is doing six years in the future. Pairing up Georgiana and Kitty as best friends was such a perfect fit for the story. It has serious Persuasion vibes and I loved every second of it. Now if only I could see them performed in person!
