I was so excited to get this #bookmail this week! I preordered it, but it shipped before the release date, so I was completely surprised. I need to find the time to focus on it, which is hard to do at the moment. But soon, yes…soon.
#5JoysFriday!
1. At my husband‘s jazz concert on Sunday, his combo performed a piece from Fallout especially for a dear friend‘s son who attended that evening. Seeing his joy over the dedication gave ME such joy!
2. Had a delightful and encouraging lunch with a friend on Wednesday to celebrate my admission to the Spiritual Direction program I‘m starting in August—and she brought me flowers!
3. Reading Anne this week is bringing me SO MUCH joy!!⤵️
I have seen this wonderful movie version more times than I have read the book. I wish I could pay a historian specializing in Regency England to watch it with me and answer all my questions. For example, what is that long brush on Jane's vanity? She is brushing her hair with a normal brush, so what is that?
The snacks are packed, 2 hours until we marathon our way into Mordor!
This novel really drew me in! Lovely writing, slowly suspenseful, gothic undertones. I think I would read this one again at some point in the future.

August's #RandomClassic is Fahrenheit 451. l've never read this one and honestly know very little about it, so l am going in almost completely blind.
The book is divided into three parts, so rather than following a chapter a day, we'll be reading one part per week. Since the 1st is on a Thursday, I'll try to post discussion posts on August 8, 15, and 22.
Finally getting a start on re-reading this favorite for #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead—in this gorgeous edition with cover by Elly MacKay!
Last year, at a Christmas party, I got a calendar with Shakespearean insults as a white elephant gift. It's been amusing so far.

1. It's been my 'codename' since using it at Girl Scout camp.
2. Play solitaire
3. The last audio book ...I'm currently listening to The Count of Monte Cristo and The House in the Cerulean Sea which I had to get in Hoopla on audio because my ebook on Libby couldn't be renewed.
