Progress in #DICKENS by #PeterAckroyd, pg 140. Last night, I would have gotten farther, not because it was boring, but because it was after 1 AM.

This = a big deal, especially after the last 2 months (& the year I’ve had). I credit the #bookrelease of #TheWomanInSuite11 by @ruthwarewriter.bsky.social. That excited me back into #reading, not only her #book but also helped me return to finish my #reread of #Chatterton by #PeterAckroyd. 🤘🏻💚📖

Through many a listening chamber, cave and ruin,
And starlight wood, with fearful steps pursuing
Hopes of high talk with the departed dead.”
