My first book of 2026!

Islington is acting strange.

So, we don't get to comment on our challenge page?

Refreshing my memory in preparation for #8! Starting New Year's Eve.

My first 2025 read!

I don't want it to end! But I need closure! GAH!

I keep picturing them as the actors from the North & South miniseries 2004. Only more fun. 😉

Why is the picture of the back of the book? Sober up, Goodreads.

FOREST FOLK TALES WITH ARTHUR

Check it out on Spotify. Adorable!

I'm not sure how polls work, but I made one anyway.

It took a few days, but I removed over 400 books from my Want-To-Read shelf. I still have 1442 titles on it!

I need to take a GR break, maybe until next year. Nothing bad going on, just feeling very overwhelmed. I'll miss you but I will be back!

It was her precision that drew him in. Annalise was like cut glass, all her surfaces smooth and clean and clear, her eyes like thinking itself. She lived in a world of glittering nanoseconds, and he, coming from a life that was far more ambiguous, was fascinated by her immaculate foundation. Her absolute certainty.

I had not intended to love him; the reader knows I had wrought hard to extirpate from my soul the germs of love there detected; and now, at the first renewed view of him, they spontaneously arrived, green and strong!

he was a short-necked, apoplectic sort of fellow, and, plied well with good things, would soon pop off.

I am quite outshone by my younger sisters, and I shall get what comfort I can from the fact that his lordship's horse and I admired each other immensely. Could he have spoken I feel sure that I too would have been engaged. Not even the knowledge of Mrs. Edward's certain disapproval on the grounds we had had no proper introduction could have made me refuse him, for I have never seen such hind quarters.

Gotta finish this tonight.

....she was a human being more abundantly than she was a woman....

Highly educated but clueless people.
sheesh

"There were no limits to Miss Mole's audacity;"

It's going to take me a long time to finish this.

"Pooh," said Rabbit kindly, "you haven't any brain."

"I know," said Pooh humbly.
