The impetus for this entire adventure was blogging about my journey to tackle the PopSugar Reading Challenge. Of course I meant to be super on top of this and try to write a few times a week, and yet, here we are.
I am happy to report that I have been reading. I even resurrected my 'ancient' Nook for this adventure. My first book satisfies 'A book more than 100 years older than you,' and I chose to read Sense and Sensability by Jane Austin. I read Emma in high school, love it, but never ventured to Austin's other works. So far, I am loving it. Marianne frustrates me, and I find myself agreeing mostly with Elinor's pragmatic take on the happenings. Also, the Miss Steeles! They swoop in like they own the place
I'm about halfway through, and I have my own hopes for how things turn out. I also can't wait to watch the movie once I'm finished. It's fun to picture Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet as Elinor and Marianne.
This week I finally came off the library wait list for The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, for which I have been on the wait list for at least four months. This will be my next book, and will be my 'self-improvement book.' We have so much stuff in the house and while I've heard the tactics from the book are rather extreme, I hope it will motivate me to clear out some junk once and for all.
Until the next time I remember to write!
