Top 5 Classics I Want to Read
Hey guys!
I think I’m gonna start posting more frequently on my Top 5’s. I uploaded a Top 5 Graphic Novels I Want To Read post few months ago & it has really helped me keep track of my most-anticipated graphic novels on my TBR. This is also going to help me categorize my TBR. I know for me, classics can be a little hard to get through BUT they are classics for a reason & I do have quite a few that I want to get to, but I have short-listed them to just 5. Okay, now on with the list:
- Shakespeare
I basically want to read everything by Shakespeare. I have a Barnes & Noble collectible’s edition that features all of his work so that makes it much easier for me to access his plays/novels etc. I actually read a couple of his plays about 8 years ago…

Thoughts along the Writing Journey: “Writers experience the world through writing.”
Where do we find peace?
“Where do we find peace?
Peace is in the rosy softness of a new dawn breaking.
It’s the sound of the wind across the mountain peak,
the quiet and mystical beauty of a snow-flake drifting silence downward to a land blanketed in white.
Peace is the elusive Kingdom of the Soul.”
“You’re closer to God’s heart in a garden than any place on earth.”

Practise makes “purrfect” (except for the spelling of author’s name, which should soon be rectified)

MOTOR RACING – A BIRD’S EYE VIEW
Having a boy friend who is completely mad about racing cars, all shapes and sizes and about me (only one size), I was persuaded to go with him to our local car racing event, which is held at Killarney race track, some ten miles out of Cape Town.
As he was going to assist with the spanner-holding in one of the driver’s pits, he asked me to keep a record of the lap times and to make a comprehensive chart of the results of the various races. Unfortunately, I was so captivated by the racing setting and scene that times and charts didn’t enter into the race at all and this is now the afternoon (my first visit) at the races was seen by a feminine eye.
