Perfect poem for yesterday‘s weather!

Such a lovely book to hold and read a poem everyday ! There is a short introduction to the poet also. I find that this kind of format of a poem for every date of the year, makes me read poetry on a consistent basis

Ready for 2021, with a poem every day to light the way.

I've done it! I completed all the books I planned to read before 2020.

So I'm ending my #24B42020 #Readathon with 40hours
Adding my last #TBRRead to #WinterGames #Elfies

Almost Happy New Year all. 32min countdown for me.

Reading a poem a day was and interesting experience. My two favorites were Solitude by Ella Wheeler Wilcox (Laugh, and the world laughs with you; Weep and you weep alone;) and Don‘t Quit by John Greenleaf Whittier (Rest, if you must, but don‘t you quit.) #elfies #WinterGames #tbrread

#TIL that when Queen Elizabeth was in prison she used a diamond to scratch a poem in the woodwork. #NFNov

End of day 2: 12h18min
Didn't get all the time in that I wanted; as it was my sister's birthday and we stayed a little longer than planned. But tomorrow is all mine to conquer the missing hours .

My stack for this week‘s #boutofbooks is all books in progress! I‘m about 50 pages into the novel, a chapter into the Pooh book, and I got behind on both poetry collections over the summer. If I can finish the first two and catch up on the poetry, that would be a highly successful readathon for me!

I‘ve been trying to establish a daily poetry habit and have been more or less successful. Ironically, I stayed pretty on schedule until April which is National Poetry Month 🤦‍♀️ Although I got behind on this anthology, I‘ve been slowly reading a poetry memoir and devoured two Kwame Alexander novels-in-verse, so I figure it all evens out 🤷‍♀️ #Readathon seemed like a good enough excuse to get caught up. Onto my nightstand so I don‘t forget!

This book remains an excellent use of a gift card

I had no idea that I had ordered this book from the U.K., and was worried it was lost. I was very excited to see it yesterday, and to get caught up. My plan is to read one poem every morning with my tea.

I‘ve collected quite a few #thick poetry anthologies recently. Love these covers so much 📚❤️
