Skies of Blur: Poems | Elijah Burrell

I‘m not generally a poetry reader, but this collection is by an author from my hometown so I decided to support his work and give it a read. I‘m reading a few poems each morning this week with breakfast.

School‘s out for the summer, so I‘ve got a few quiet mornings to enjoy a slow start with a book. I‘m looking forward to getting into this next Shardlake novel. I read it once before, but in a rush so that I remember even less than the others I read longer ago.

I have the day off today. Starting off with a leisurely #BookAndBreakfast - pulled a scone from the freezer and made some tea to go along with this book which started slow but has turned into quite the page turner.

Lesliereadsalot Why didn‘t I pull a scone out of my freezer to go with my tea this am? So jealous. 5mo
Bookwormjillk @Lesliereadsalot It was one of the better decisions I made last night. 5mo

The Fall of Arthur | J.R.R. Tolkien

Sunday morning book and breakfast

This is the essay I‘m the most intrigued to read, but I also expect to be frustrated by wanting more. After reading several of Tolkien‘s incomplete works, I know kind of what to expect. This includes commentary about Tolkien‘s nearly indecipherable notes and just enough detail to make you want to know more when it‘s impossible.

JazzFeathers 😂 I can't wait to read it too. I kept having Silmarillion vibes while reading the text 😜 6mo

#BookandBreakfast of banana pancakes & bacon on this fine snow day! I read the first chapter of Assassin's Apprentice before bed last night and it very well be my favorite first chapter I've ever read. I got immediately sucked in and I cannot wait to read more about Fitz.

SaraBeagle Nice mug! 😁 6mo

The Fall of Arthur | J.R.R. Tolkien

Happy Sunday! My goal this week is to read a canto daily, but I‘m not sure I‘ll manage it consistently. Whether or not I get to post during the week, I‘m happy to be back to some Sunday mornings with Tolkien. I don‘t consider myself much of a poetry fan, but I love this alliterative style of narrative poem. The language is beautiful.

Daisey It‘s also been a while since I‘ve read any version of the Arthur legend, so I may need to look for something in audio form for some comparison. 7mo
JazzFeathers You know? I was a fan of Arthurian legends before l was a Tolkien fan. When l was a teenager, l read both sours materials and many retellings. Yet, it's been a long time. It'll be fun to read something that gets these two passions of mine together 😊 7mo

BooksandCoffee4Me @Daisey Yes, thank you! I‘m excited about reading more of his work now that I‘ve read about him! 7mo

Daisey @BethM @peanutnine Agreed! I never knew about Tolkien‘s artistic talents until I started reading more of his work on Litsy. It‘s so wonderful! 9mo
Daisey @JazzFeathers I don‘t know that I can love them any more than I already do, but I do find new things to appreciate every time. 9mo
tpixie This book of letters is so fun and beautiful 🤩 9mo
BarbaraJean I treated myself to the Centenary edition this year and am so glad I did! I loved the illustrations last year but they're even better in this larger edition. And I'm loving all the commentary that the North Polar Bear adds along the way!! 9mo

David Copperfield | Charles Dickens

Happy Saturday morning! I‘m starting a quiet Saturday morning with breakfast casserole and coffee while I catch up on the last few chapters of David Copperfield for October.

I have lots of things to work on at home today since I‘ve been gone the last few weekends, but I plan to listen to lots of audio and fit in some print reading for the Dewey‘s Readathon as well.
