I love all your ideas for the new year, particularly your return to the classics and the way parents combine writing with their parenting. I also resonate heavily with your comments on reading more deeply this year. I set off doing a reading challenge in 2022, and realised at the end of the year that I had read more books, but not necessarily got a lot out of them. I am trying slower - but deeper - reading in 2023 : )
To read more deeply is to live more deeply. I applaud your decision and will allow myself to do the same when the urge occurs.
I'm interested in all of the ideas you are considering for the coming year, particularly the first. I'm not sure about discussion threads -- I've not done a lot of those but perhaps this is just the place to do it.
You're an annotator, aren't you? I've just found out about this branch of readers through Bookstagram and it stresses me out. All the tabs and the highlights and the notes and the doodles. But also I'm jealous that one could take that much time to deep dive. And the colours are pretty. I have books in my collection that I've read at least 4 times, so I get it, I just deep dive in a different way. Looking forward to the evolution!
Bravo! These sound like great decisions! Looking forward to continuing to follow you!!! 💟
