Kirk Douglas, circa 1955.
My book consumption slowed to a trickle in the weeks surrounding our move. Too much to do, too little sleep, no time to think or, after a certain point, properly process words. It was that draining. No joke.
Now that most of the volumes are back on their shelves, my reading is nearly back to its normal, healthy pace. Yay!
Here’s what I’m actively digging at the moment:

Day 2 Recap of the 2019 Reel Infatuation Blogathon
Be sure to check out of all of yesterday’s fabulous RI Blogathon entries. So much crush-worthy goodness.
Day One is in the books!
The best thing about the Reel Infatuation Blogathon, besides gushing about film characters, is exploring a love of movies. Many of the characters we love are in films we love, and it’s a pleasure to discover which characters (and movies) people are passionate about.
Today’s entries are wonderful. They explore characters and character – the noble qualities in a person. We think you’ll enjoy them immensely.
Bloggers: If we missed your post today, we’ll include you in tomorrow’s recap.

This is one of my favorite times of the year. Spring has returned, and she’s brought her best friends with her: birds, buds, and every shade of green known to humankind. On her coattails rides another, albeit lesser, reason to be a little giddy…
The 2019 Reel Infatuation Blogathon!
