I always see #wondrouswednesday by @Eggs and then fail to do it because I can't think of an answer to one of the questions. Not this time!
🐣 KJ Charles, Cat Sebastian, Nghi Vo, and Jordan L Hawk!
🐣 I'm really bad at favorites, but I've always loved poetry and John Keats (tagged) is an easy one to claim. Most of the Romantics, really.
🐣 You see answer one? Ditto! Cat Sebastian and Nghi Vo most of all, with fewer misses in mid-series for me.
I know I've mentioned Fable before, but I finally decided to make my own book club. I love the active clubs, but I couldn't find one for poetry. It was also difficult finding any that focuses on poetry. Check out the club!
We're starting with Keats and will do a modern poet next. My plan is to switch between classic and contemporary poets.

Taking @IndoorDame's cue, here is my favorite poem on autumn. 🧡🍁💛
Today we visited the Keats-Shelley House by the Spanish Steps here in Rome. Very bittersweet because his bedroom and bed where he died, and his death mask, are open to the public.
pickNot necessarily book related but saw this on Instagram and laughed out loud! The guy solved it and was about to win a bunch of $$$ but he pronounced it “ach-a-lees” with the accent on the first syllable. Host hesitated then said no and the woman next to him pronounced it correctly and won all the $$. Lesson to be learned: know your mythology!😝🤪
pickAnother excellent #biography by Jonathan Bate! This time he serves a Keatsian inspired look at F. Scott Fitzgerald‘s life. Bate includes long excerpts from letters and primary source material that enriches this glorious history of two writers gone too soon. I can never get enough of Keats and neither could Fitzgerald! #audiobook BEAUTY+LOVE4EVER
