    Lakme – Duo des fleurs (Flower Duet)

    I’ve been busy working on my writing. Each day is progress, and hopeful. It’s exciting to read my work and see how far I”ve come. My editing skills are not the best, which is why editors are so important. Thank goodness!

    When I”m not writing, I take breaks by either going out for a walk, the occasional gym work outs, enjoying delicious warm beignets, while binge watching Inspector Morse. I’ve always been a fan of detective mysteries, and classical music, and if you watch the show you’ll understand why.

    This is one of my favorites. It’s on my bucket list to see a performance in person, among other things. Enjoy!

    Xx, Katie

    December Classic Literature

    For my December, I thought it would be appropriate to choose A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. I love this Christmas classic tale, which is one of Dickens’ genius storytelling at work. Reading A Christmas Carol during this time of year has been somewhat of a tradition for me personally, and it’s always nice to watch the movie too!

    It’s a story with many relevant long-lasting themes. Themes that can easily be relatable and stand the test of time.

    My favorite character in the book is Scrooge. At the beginning of the story he’s a grumpy, cold-hearted man, and by the end of the story, he becomes a changed man. I love a happy ending!

    And how can we forget the other characters such as Tiny Tim, Bob Cratchit, Fezziwig, The Ghost of Christmas Past, and so on. These characters are unmistakenably classic.

    With the weather getting chilly outside, I can’t wait to snuggle up by the fireside and read this book!
