Suppose the singing birds musicians,
The grass whereon thou tread'st the presence strewed,
The flowers fair ladies, and thy steps no more
Than a delight measure or a dance

Happy #Caturday! I have not been feeling well lately so I’m hoping to take things easy today. My goal is to read some #Middlemarch at some point today because I’ve been kind of reading slumpy as well.

It’s past my bedtime but I’m not going to sleep until I’ve finished Anna Karenina! Fred is grumpy because he would rather I give him my attention. #ak2025 #catsofbluesky #amreading

Got to see this fab filmed production of #Macbeth tonight starring David Tennant and Cush Jumbo. Really cool choices made, esp an alteration made to Act IV scene ii that I loved. Definitely recommend. 🗡️ 👑

Happy #Caturday from my reading buddy Georgie.
30% through Anna Karenina and hoping to get as much read as I can before my grad school courses resume.
I knew a few things going in but they have pretty much all happened already! I’m surprised at the pace of the story, tbh #amreading #booksky

Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear.
