Virginia Woolf

I've decided to make 2019 my year of reading Woolf. Novels, essays, letters, diaries, I'm going to try and read it all! I don't expect to finish, (there's a lot!) but it's been years since I've really immersed myself in one author. Plus, I feel there's much I can learn from her.
I considered progressing through her bibliography chronologically, but decided it's best not to impose many rules. First up, her 1937 novel The Years.

LazyDays Sounds like a great goal! If I read anything of hers this year I'll tag you! 5y

Leftcoastzen And as much as I love her , have not finished essays and letters 5y

saresmoore Wonderful idea! 5y

merelybookish @LeahBergen @saresmoore @BarbaraBB Thanks! I figure I can intersperse Woolf with less esoteric audiobooks. 5y

merelybookish @Leftcoastzen Her journals and letters are my main priority. If I finish them, everything else will be gravy. But I had to order the first volumes so in the meantime, The Years. 5y

merelybookish @LazyDays Yes by all means! I'm sure I'll be dying to talk Woolf with whoever will listen. 🙂 5y

readordierachel Ooh, I love this! Looking forward to your posts! 5y

batsy Like everyone, I'm looking forward to your posts! Her letters and journals—the tiny amount I've read—are so rich and rewarding. This year, I'm hoping to fit in at least one or two of her novels I haven't read... 5y

youneverarrived Great idea ♥️ 5y

Demanda Voyage Out is my favorite of hers. Sounds like a awesome goal! 5y

merelybookish @batsy Yes, I always see all these amazing quotes so I thought it would be good to read them in context. But I also know she complains a lot about the servants. 🤣 5y

merelybookish @youneverarrived Thanks! @demanda that's one I haven't read yet! 5y
