It's freaking August already! Of 2021. Life I know how summer usually means a busy time for most people. It wasn't so much for me - my kids are still too little and we had some fun this summer but didn't brave outside a whole lot (maybe next year). And still, I am ready for summer to end. For one thing, stuff does slow down a little during rest of the year, and by stuff, I mean work mostly. And on the other hand, I'm ready for real school to start, so that I don't feel bad that my kids are wasting their brains, LOL. I got to catchup with life this week and that means a great deal.

And sometimes, the book happens to belong to a period I struggle with (Pride and Prejudice). But I still much prefer to read a book first, because books are better, right?
Somehow, I'm not sure about The Great Gatsby though. The reviews I've read have made me alternately intrigued and indifferent. But since Leonardo DiCaprio is in it, it's a given that I'll be sitting in the movie theater, probably during the first week after release itself.
What do you think? Have you read it? Planning to? Or not your soup?
