I am participating in the American Cancer Society Read Every Day challenge. This is an easy one for me, as I read every day anyway! So I am blogging my reading this month in the hopes that you might enjoy my literary journeys, and that you might consider supporting my fundraiser to fight cancer and support cancer patients through Relay for Life. Go to main.acsevents.org/goto/elizabethdonald to read my essay and donate.
Weekend: The last couple of days I’ve mostly been reading student writing assignments, because work. But today it was a series of articles on book banning, because it was time to update the doomscrolling for a Patreon update. Then I needed to go look at beach photos for a while.
I did finish An Old-Fashioned Girl on speed read. It didn’t grow on me, I’m afraid. I have been deep in poetry lately, so I think I’ll do some of that before I try another novel.

Another day reading Authenticity. Only a few poems this time, as I am super tired tonight. She’s a little less lyrical and more storyteller in this batch of poems, but there’s a brilliant rawness to them.
I particularly liked her ode to books and how happy she feels surrounded by them. *looks around* I personally maintain that lining every wall of my house with bookshelves adds to the house’s insulation, reducing our carbon footprint and utility bills. My husband is skeptical.
