pickA comedy in which tragedy is narrowly avoided by manipulating others into thinking that a tragedy has occurred. Hmm…quite interesting. Leonato‘s soliloquy in Act V, Scene I was the most effective part to me, full of seeming anguish despite the fact he knows his daughter isn‘t dead- the real emotion seems to come from her ruined reputation. ⬇️
pick4/5⭐️ #reread this for one of my #bookclub meetings and really quite enjoyed it. Really liked how the author dealt with grief in the second part of the book, how the four remaining people dealt with their grief. #2024 #historicalfiction #fiction #bookreview #shakespeare

My son has been assigned Shakespeare for the first time. 🤎 I decided we needed to read outside with fairy lights. My husband and I read from these two copies of mine from college, while my son read his parts from his copy from school. We had snacks and the weather was lovely. I can't wait to start Act 2 and meet Puck again.
Just starting this now. For January, my favourite read was The Authenticity Project. February it was Prequel by Rachel Maddow. And from those two, Prequel is moving on. For March, Hamnet by Maggie O‘Farrell was my favourite. The best of the rest was Killers of the Flower Moon. Looking forward to see what my favourite for April will be.. 🤔 #readingbracket2024
My favourite, and I love the ambiguity over the interpretation (I rarely agree with historians when it comes to most topics on literature and poetry, and this time is no different) 🤍🤎.

pickI finished reading the easy version of Romeo & Juliet with my 8th grade students. Even though the text was changed a lot they did not catch some parts of the the story. And I did not like the easy version because some of the best known quotes of this play have been changed. I prefer the original.
I am currently reading the abriged version of my favourite Shakespeare tragedy because we are going to visit the theatre soon. 💪💪💪💪
