pickA classic for the best book of August. I know Holden isn't the most intriguing of main characters, being a teenage misanthrope and all, and not much really happens, but I still enjoyed it.

Can you believe it, @TheBookHippie? Can you really? I'm a bit stunned if I do say so myself. Thank you for this monumental achievement--for me, anyway. 😘 Wonder if Proust will be the favorite next year? Somehow I doubt it, but we'll see. 🤣

I‘ve been planning my #Proust2026 reading for Jan/Feb. this is the #SwannsWaySchedule thus far!
(I am aiming for around 10 pages a day most (but not all) days, so the schedule takes that into account. And there are no chapters, because Proust! 🤪)
And we now know everything we need to know about landlady Mrs. Gale and the “gentlemanly” curate… 6% in, in the first chapter 🤣

so-so3✨ Not a favorite in the series, but still gave me the feels. Anne is seen more of an overworked mother in this story, and her husband is tirelessly taking care of the community. Anne feels a bit lonely because he is out at all hours helping people. However, the book goes through a lot more of her kids different needs and worries that Anne is there to help them navigate. #SeriesLove First book of the year!
Starting the year off slowly with this one. We‘ll see how well I keep up with the daily readings 😆
Started a chapter a day of War and Peace. Following along with a gal on Tik Tok and a guy on substack too.
Reading the first 10 pages for #Proust2026 at a local pond.
This is a book to be savored, because it‘s about sensations, not plot, so 10 pages seems like the right amount at one time. #SwannsWaySchedule
