January TBR #nyrbwomen25 #proust2025 #proust25 #booksky

Okay, I’m going in. I need to get to page 82 by Saturday evening, and I’m not going to wait until Jan. 1 to start #Proust25. Wish me well on my journey!

My new box set. And I can’t say none of you told me just how brilliant it is. But blown away by the humour, the gossip, the hallucinatory sequences, the whole pages devoted to a character’s expression and yes, the plotting. #Proust25

Will have to be a bit of an intense #Proust25 day today - 28 pages to go by tomorrow, but our narrator is currently a little drunk on a train to Balbec @mookse.bsky.social

So far so good! I’ve been thoroughly enjoying my daily reading from these three big books. #Proust25 #NYRBWomen25 #ayearwithgeoreeliot

Maybe a decade ago I read the first 3 books in the In Search of Lost Time series. This year I'm determined to read the entire series. #Proust25

It was not an easy read… all those volumes 📚📚. I only got through it with lots of encouragement from our “little clan” at #ProustTogether. But, oh, it was amazing and incredible in so many ways!

Ahh, time to finally kick back for the weekend. This evening I have been reading about the beautiful water lilies on the Guermantes Way. #Proust25

Read in January. The highlights for me were Tom Jones, Trees, and The Omnivore's Dilemma. Spent a lot of time with Lies and Sorcery and Swann's Way. #NYRBWomen25 #AContinuation25 #Proust25

Today I’m starting this famous section of Swann’s Way! I’m very excited to see what all the fuss is about! #Proust25

Yes! Our group led by @literaturesc.bsky.social read all of ISFLT from 2020 to 2021.

#Proust25 and @mookse.bsky.social are now reading it in its entirety too!!

V2 of Proust & the narrator’s 1st meeting with M. de Norpois

His tone, as he spoke of our shared hankerings after the writing life, was reassuring, as though we had a predisposition towards rheumatism rather than literature, & he wanted me to know it was not fatal.

#BookSky 📚

I had no idea this famous incident in literature was so so so good! I loved so much in this first section of Swann’s Way. #Proust25

The group is over on Instagram, but I am determined to make #Proust25 work for folks here-but-not-there work as well. If you’re on Instagram, I can add you. If you’re not, I will get you the schedule and anything else!

Some folks in the reading group wanted to set up a discord for #Proust25, so I did. It’s a quiet, empty room just now, but I am going to spend some time decorating it tonight. Come poke around if you’d like. discord.gg/7sWmAaNx
