It's Monday again! I'm just checking in to share last week's hobonichi spread, my productivity for the week, and a few updates.

Classics Spin Winner!
Earlier this week I wrote about my Classics Club Spin List. The Classics Club picked #3, which means that I'll be reading The Tenant of Wildfell Hall!

Sing, Unburied, Sing by Jesmyn Ward
I had to take things slowly while reading Sing, Unburied, Sing. I debated whether or not to even finish it because of how heavy it felt right from the beginning. But my strategy for this book was simple: two chapters each night, max. But once I got about 2/3 of the way through the… Continue reading Sing, Unburied, Sing by Jesmyn Ward
