Books and a Bookcase

Reading The Neverending Story has made me wonder what other children's classic literature I've missed or would enjoy reading again.  It's such a clever story.  I'm getting ready to work through the goal lists for 2023 and I'm thinking about including some "vintage" lit.  Maybe I'll do some digging today.  I re-read The Secret Garden some years ago (one of my favorite books) and it was as good as I remembered.  Gretchen Rubin is in a bookclub for children's lit -- I bet she has good suggestions.

Yesterday was a nice day.  I did a very easy Peloton ride (I'm no worse for wear) and then hubby and I drove to my eldest to drop off some things they left in Asheville and deliver a late Christmas present.  I stopped for takeout at one of my favorite vegan restaurants.  Came home and caught up on a few post holiday phone chats.  Read and then watched more of Emily in Paris.  

Hubby golfs today so I have a chunk of time alone.  I'm craving alone time -- no surprise after a big social week.  It was nice that he came along yesterday, but I was looking forward to time to myself.  

A bookcase I ordered months ago finally arrived, unfortunately, it's a piece of junk.  It'll be fine for how I'm using it, but the quality is a disappointment.  I'll finish organizing books once my back is more stable.  It's spins so you can easily get to the books.  The design is great -- if only the materials and finishes were nicer.  I put plants on the top to hide the ugly screw holes -- none of the sections have a smooth finish.




That's all from here.  Another chill day with whatever I feel like doing.  Later gators.
