https://bsky.app/profile/sarahlr.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/sarahlr.bsky.social/post/3mboyasbno22dFor the past few years I've set myself reading goals at the beginning of the year for how many books I want to read each year. This year I've decided not to do that as, whilst it was helpful initially, it's now become a chore and I've been planning my reading according to what will...

I'd definitely want one at the top of my tree! #bmag #bmt #birminghammuseumstrust [contains quote post or other embedded content]04 Nov 2025 09:07 +0000at://did:plc:3ulasifzwko42wrhe547o7xi/app.bsky.feed.post/3m4s6phjgf22qhttps://bsky.app/profile/sarahlr.bsky.social/post/3lkqyp2ppdc2oI saw my first bumblebee of the year yesterday, and today I saw my first butterflies and chiffchaffs of the year - it's officially spring!19 Mar 2025 20:14 +0000at://did:plc:3ulasifzwko42wrhe547o7xi/app.bsky.feed.post/3lkqyp2ppdc2ohttps://bsky.app/profile/sarahlr.bsky.social/post/3ljuoavnqcs26For International Women's Day, is it too much to ask for the power (and time) to read all of the books that I will ever want to read and learn all of the things I will ever want to learn?08 Mar 2025 13:52 +0000at://did:plc:3ulasifzwko42wrhe547o7xi/app.bsky.feed.post/3ljuoavnqcs26https://bsky.app/profile/sarahlr.bsky.social/post/3lju3ff6uh226If you see this, quote it with what you're reading this weekend.

I didn't really know much about Rembrandt's art, so this was an excellent introduction to his work as well as a brilliant display of his etchings. If you get the chance, definitely check it out!!

I don't want to DNF books too often, but I do need to remember that it is a valid option for books that aren't doing it for me for whatever reason. I have so many books to read, so why waste my time on ones that I'm not enjoying or benefitting from?03 Mar 2025 08:08 +0000at://did:plc:3ulasifzwko42wrhe547o7xi/app.bsky.feed.post/3ljhiorsxc226https://bsky.app/profile/sarahlr.bsky.social/post/3lj6j6tkc6s26Today felt like the promise of spring!27 Feb 2025 18:23 +0000at://did:plc:3ulasifzwko42wrhe547o7xi/app.bsky.feed.post/3lj6j6tkc6s26https://bsky.app/profile/sarahlr.bsky.social/post/3lirwrus7fk22@benjiw.bsky.social was right - the National Theatre production of The Importance of Being Earnest was fabulous! I'm not sure quite how, but they made Oscar Wilde more camp! Ncuti Gatwa was, unsurprisingly wonderful, but Sharon D Clarke stole the show as Lady Bracknell!22 Feb 2025 18:22 +0000at://did:plc:3ulasifzwko42wrhe547o7xi/app.bsky.feed.post/3lirwrus7fk22https://bsky.app/profile/sarahlr.bsky.social/post/3lglxnyctks2uTrying to learn the Continental-style knit stitch and it feels like it should be a lot better, and it definitely has a much greater efficiency of movement, but it feels *weird*!!25 Jan 2025 22:31 +0000at://did:plc:3ulasifzwko42wrhe547o7xi/app.bsky.feed.post/3lglxnyctks2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/sarahlr.bsky.social/post/3lgj72aq7tc2vIs there an insurance company that insures insurance companies?

It's really interesting and compelling, but it's quite a slog because I can't get into a rhythm with it at the moment. Wishing that I had an easier book on the go at the moment, but I don't want to DNF this yet either :(11 Jan 2025 19:00 +0000at://did:plc:3ulasifzwko42wrhe547o7xi/app.bsky.feed.post/3lfifcqvs3c2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/sarahlr.bsky.social/post/3lfhupsqeic2kI didn't do very well with this last year, and I might not do very well with it this year either, but here's a list of the books I've read this year...11 Jan 2025 14:03 +0000at://did:plc:3ulasifzwko42wrhe547o7xi/app.bsky.feed.post/3lfhupsqeic2k
