Three Five-🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝 Reads

 

You know it is a good week when you finish three five-🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝 reads.

Early Morning Riser made me smile, with quirky characters and with quirky situations. It's the rare book that can contain not only odd people and an odd story, but also great life wisdom, and that's what Early Morning Riser does. I came away thinking about functional families made of lots of rather dysfunctional people. 

The Mill on the Floss tells the story of the life of Maggie Tulliver, a misfit in her time, the 1820s. How much different her life would have been had she lived two hundred years later. 

And I took a day and made my way through Another Year of Wonder, reading about each classical selection and listening to it on playlists I made on Spotify. If you'd like to take a journey through classical music, be the first to let me know in the comments and I'll pass this book on to you.
