My Extended Blogging Break

On June 15, 2021June 15, 2021 By RelevantObscurityIn Personal14 Comments

I did not expect to take such a long break, but with all the changes in my household it was a natural outcome. I am still reading, but will not return to blogging just yet. I am making my way back by slowly checking in on your blogs. I know I have missed a lot …

Last Spring my flat left foot totally flattened out and my scoliosis progressed. I had trouble walking. It's a rainy day in these here parts. A long reading day ahead ❤️ Going to dip in and out of these today and probably most of the week. Hats off to @cirtnecce01 who did a similar post today 👍 I love my neighborhood. I never know who or what I might come across 😜😍 I have cut my reading challenges way down this year, but these two, a 6-book George Eliot readalong and a 3-book Charles Dickens readalong have totally captured me. It's a quiet morning in these here parts of the US. Dare I say I am sitting outside in my patio, coffee in hand staring up at the big blue sky? I am bummed I am having trouble getting into Emma Donohue' s newest book, Haven. It has a very rudimentary historical feel to it, so it doesn't feel believable. Plus, the narrative is slow. I enjoyed The Wonder and The Pull of the Stars very much, so this disappoints me.🤔 The Autobiography of a Yogi, by Paramahansa Yogananda is one of my favorite books. I haven't read it in awhile and it popped into my head to spend some hours with it today. I found this photo at the SRF store in Encinitas and I just love it. A guru and his pocket puppy 😁😍🐾 I thoroughly enjoyed the escapades of Phileas Fogg and his trip around the world as he tries to settle a wager of completing his trip in 80 days. With his loyal manservant, Passepartout we are treated to an exciting, armchair-traveling journey that spans the globe, cultures, modes of transportation, class and race from the perspective of the late 19th century. Looking for 2023 year-long, single-author readalongs in classic literature? Are you organizing one or know of any?
