The Road | Cormac McCarthy

I read this two days ago and still processing. It was on my TBR for too long but McCarthy‘s recent passing prompted me to pick it up now. Frightening and thought provoking despite its simplicity. Highly recommend.

PerksOfBeingABookworm These would be all of the books I would order too! That‘s so wild. I‘ve put myself on a book-buying budget. I‘m trying to justify also getting A Rogue of One‘s Own... but the other two are musts. 4y

Finally, finally, finally!! It‘s nice enough to sit outside and read!

Sadly, quarantining neighbors are also excited for the nice weather and are not reading but are SUPER loud.

Complaining, not complaining.

There were several titles that I wanted but couldn‘t get due to Covid-related measures that BOTM has put in place. But I did grab one add on.

Grabbed this from Facebook. Sorry if it‘s a repeat here - but how fun to imagine these groups together?? I‘d socially isolate at Barton Wood I think. Maybe Kellynchbury! 🤣🤣

michellelav I'm listening to my first Jane Austen! Pride and prejudice 😍 I'm on chapter 31! I may have to wait til I'm done to decide but I'd love chatting with Elizabeth 📖😊 5y
