Friendship: Vintage Minis | Rose Tremain
30 posts | 1 to read
What is the secret to true friendship? Is it really loves quieter relation or something stronger and more profound? And where does the line between the two lie? Rose Tremain looks at two unlikely lifelong friendships, which though tested prove unbreakable. Thought-provoking and life-affirming, this is at once an examination and a celebration of friendship in all its glorious complexity. Selected from the books Restoration and The Gustav Sonata by Rose Tremain VINTAGE MINIS: GREAT MINDS. BIG IDEAS. LITTLE BOOKS. A series of short books by the worlds greatest writers on the experiences that make us human Also in the Vintage Minis series: Love by Jeanette Winterson Language by Xiaolu Guo Desire by Haruki Murakami Freedom by Margaret Atwood

Day 16 #SpringIntoReading
I chose @LibrarianJen for my #LoveYourLibrarian prompt. We've been friends for over a decade. She's seen my kiddo grow into a teen and I've seen her become a mom. She's also the reason I'm obsessed with Litsy. 😍
@vkois88 @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Awww I love it ❤️❤️❤️ 6y
tammysue Aw so sweet! ♥️☺️ 6y
LibrarianJen Oh my gosh Brooke, I ❤️ you so much! Dev, and Brandon too. I kind of want to screenshot that Bitmoji and frame it, it‘s way cute. Is that sad? 6y
InkedBookworm13 @LibrarianJen no that's cute. 😀 6y

1. Reading and spending time on Litsy and Goodreads. Between work and grad school, no time for anything else!
2. Horror, fantasy, classics.
3. Oliver, our Papillon dog
4. Yes, Litsy list is accurate and unowned
5. Funko pop figures, literary dolls and action figures, literary toys and knick-knacks, book-based games, bookmarks, jigsaw puzzles
6. Just that I love Litsy and don‘t get to spend nearly enough time here!

What a lovely and sweet surprise, Suba!

The piggy notecards are so cute..perfect, as it‘s the Year of The 🐷! 😁 The bookmark..👍 (reminds me of the song Daydreamer by Adele). The notebooks are great in sizes. Looking forward to read the book, as I‘ve enjoyed THUG and All American Boys. I really appreciate your gifts. Thank you so much, my friend ❤️😘

P.S. Where are all the stickers on Litsy??

TrishB This is a great read 👍🏻 6y

erzascarletbookgasm 💗 @BiblioLitten Have you settled down in Canada and got your permanent address? Been wanting to write to you. 6y
BiblioLitten @erzascarletbookgasm I‘m so desperate to write back to all of you! I thought of updating my new address but we might move again (within Ontario) in the next few months. So I thought I‘d update it after April. 6y
erzascarletbookgasm @Cathythoughts Just to let you know I‘ve sent you a tiny something for V Day, but like you said, the postal system seems crazy lately...bummer it didn‘t turn up on time for V Day! 6y
Cathythoughts What 😮♥️Oh Thankyou ! That‘s completely unexpected & so very kind of you ... Thankyou Jessie !! I‘ll let you know as soon as I receive it. You are way too good. I think I‘ll make a move on your birthday present later this week , sinse the post is way too erratic between our countries... Is your TBR up to date ?! Thanks again .. what a lovely surprise ♥️👍🏻 6y
erzascarletbookgasm It‘s nothing much, Cathy, hope you‘ll get it eventually. Very kind of you to want to get me something for my coming birthday. I‘ll clean up my tbr. Thanks ❤️. @Cathythoughts 6y

😘 It‘s #2000thpostofsarah83-celebration-time. 🎉
Fascinating that your phone counts your posts. 🎐 Mine does not. 🤷🏽‍♀️

I like 🧡 Litsy because
• it‘s a better means to track the 📚 I (want to) read than starting a blog. It‘s less complicated and more spontaneous
• in here I have never seen a shitstorm
• I get inspired to read books I never would have discovered myself
• I love the vivid exchange about books and the lovely people I me(e)t

Buechersuechtling @Sarah83 Thank you for this giveaway. That‘s such a nice idea/gesture which shows how special Litsy is to you. 🤗 6y

I love Litsy, because it has finally given me a place where I‘m not the weird one, with the weird reading habits. I‘m actually kinda normal here😜
And I love how easy it is to go beyond the superficial contacts of most SoMe and meet cool people and do cool bookish stuff together🤩😍🤩
