Hello all.
Hope you are doing well.
It is cold here,
in my beautiful ugly,
so now that groceries,
are bought,
now that the larder,
is full.
I can stay,
home.
Cleaning, laundry and cooking,
are on the agenda,
for today,
but, right now,
I am sitting with,
a good cup of Ceylon tea,
and looking ahead to,
the year that is coming,
reading wise.
This year,
I would like to read,
more,
poetry,
I would like to learn more,
on World War I.
I will read some fiction,
and history on the era.
I have read,
Goodbye To All That,
I have read,
All Quiet On The Western Front.
This year,
I will reread Regeneration,
by Pat Barker,
I will read The Return Of The Soldier,
by Rebecca West,
I will read Birdsong,
by Sebastian Faulks.
I also have a history of World War I,
that has been sitting on my shelves,
for a couple of years.
I will read Wilfrid Owen,
and Siegfried Sassoon,
two excellent World War I,
poets.
My plan is to spread these out,
over the year.
I will also finish City Poet,
which is a biography of,
Frank O’Hara,
and go through,
the Complete Poems Of Frank O’Hara.
I will finish,
21 Things You Didn’t Know About The Indian Act,
and read it’s follow up,
Indigenous Relations: Insights, Tips and Suggestions On How To Make Reconciliation A Reality.
A lot of this is serious reading,
but, that doesn’t make it less,
enjoyable.
I will try to fit in a couple,
of mysteries and romances,
in between.
I want to try and read,
from my own shelves,
from the library,
and some cheap Kindle books
picked up The Return Of The Soldier for 99 cents.
I still want to read more,
women,
and more books in French.
I also want to read some graphic novels,
which is a genre I adore,
as well as some,
Gay history.
I look forward to another,
full year of reading.
Let me know what you are reading.
Be well you all.
Later girls,
BB
