The Norton Book of Women's Lives

The Norton Book of Women's Lives | Phyllis Rose

Currently reading…
💪🏼 There have been some really good excerpts in Women‘s Lives so I‘m adding more authors like Janet Frame to the wishlist, & moving Pilgrim at Tinker Creek by Annie Dillard to the top of my stack.

📕 Here‘s another Phyllis Rose shelfie from when we rented her house 2 summers ago. I recently read the Annie Dillard excerpt and wonder if this is the actual copy of An American Childhood she referenced when editing it? 🤩

Ruthiella That‘s so neat that you saw (and took pictures of!) her bookshelves. I loved her books “The Shelf” and

Parallel Lives: Five Victorian Marriages

slategreyskies There‘s also a movie about Janet Frame directed by Jane Campion. The movie is called An Angel at My Table. If you decide to read Janet Frame, you may find the movie to be worth searching out as well. 2w

PaperbackPirate I have Parallel Lives waiting to be read on my shelf, and also want to read The Shelf! Good to know you liked them @Ruthiella ! I found her on Instagram too and it looks like she has an interesting life. 2w

PaperbackPirate That‘s what I read an excerpt of @slategreyskies ! I will definitely be checking out the movie too then. Thanks for the tip! 2w

The Norton Book of Women's Lives | Phyllis Rose

📚This week I‘ve been trying to finish up the first quarter of the book for a book chat with friends on Sunday. Some of the stories are like wow, women. 💪🏼(P.S. This book is 812 pages so my arms are going to look like 💪🏼 when I‘m done.)
📕 This is not my copy of the book or my bookshelf! I first learned of Phyllis Rose when we rented her house last summer. Without realizing it was hers or who she was we got her house with her amazing library!

Ruthiella What a cool link to the author. I‘ve read two books by Rose and both were excellent: The Shelf and

Parallel Lives: Five Victorian Marriages

PaperbackPirate @Ruthiella I was drawn to the photos of her library in the VRBO listing, and it was a clue! Lol! Thanks for the recommendations! My father-in-law read her copy of The Shelf while we were there and really enjoyed it too. I also want to read Jazz Cleopatra. (edited) 5mo

The Library Book really slowed down my reading speed last month! A lot of interesting information to take in.

A 599 page book + back to school = 1 book finished

But I finished it! And it was a vg book!

Hope you had a better August!
