1. I haven‘t really bonded with any name from fiction for me.
2. I had a cat I named Phineas after Phineas Finn , Trollope, also ,I had a little black kitty named Zelda after Zelda Fitzgerald .

so-soDear Zelda, I wish I loved that book, I tried very hard but I sometimes found myself lost in the plot and wondered if I missed a page. I won't pan this book because there is goodness in it but this is not great work. 🤷🏻♀️
My Zelda Fitzgerald bullet journal. I‘m going to use this for my 2020 reading stats. ❤️ #bujo #bulletjournal
I‘m considering reading this as a counterpoint or whatever to Tender Is the Night. Any opinions out there on whether it‘d be worth my time?
pickSo glad I read this one - I do see what people meant when they called it overwritten, but I really enjoyed it and thought the writing style was dense but wonderful, luscious and rich. So fascinating to read after a biography of Zelda, a really fascinating complex woman. I wish more attention would get paid to this one!
New England summer is an Episcopal service. The land basks curiously in a green and homespun stretch; summer hurls its thesis and bursts against our dignity explosively as the back of a Japanese kimono.

I love all the descriptions in this book! It‘s so lush and rich.
My kids are back at school 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁 time to do some reading!!!!
First book I have to read for my new irl book club later this month! Loving it so far. The prose is much denser and darker, but also funnier, than F Scott Fitzgerald which I‘m really enjoying.
Just hit the six hour mark for #24in48. Although I‘m a bit behind some of the other progress posts, I‘m planning on getting a big chunk of reading in before midnight. The BF and I decided we‘d like to get at least 12 hours in on Saturday, since we‘d be running around throughout the day. Just finished, SAVE ME THE WALTZ, and enjoyed it. Zelda is a fascinating woman and author. #readathon #savemethewaltz #zeldafitzgerald @24in48
I‘m on the last chapter in SAVE ME THE WALTZ. I‘ve enjoyed this book, especially the extra research it‘s led me to do. I also can‘t wait to discuss this with my book group this upcoming Wednesday.
We decided to mix things up today for the #24in48 readathon. So, the BF and I are currently sitting at a café, sipping on dirty chai‘s and listening to live music as we read. Bliss. #readathon #bookandcoffee #savemethewaltz #zeldafitzgerald @24in48
Just finished hour three of #24in48. It‘s off to bed for me. 😴 🛏 A few hours of sleep and then back at it!! 💪🏼I‘ve moved between four books this evening. Really enjoying each so far, and would highly recommend. #readathon #lonesomedove #larrymcmurtry #slouchingtowardsbethlehem #joandidion #marybarton #elizabethgaskell #savemethewaltz #zeldafitzgerald @24in48

so-soDisappointing—this was clearly only published because it was written by F. Scott Fitzgerald‘s wife and mostly autobiographical. So much of the description was incomprehensible. While the dialogue was believable and there was some honesty in her characterization, the novel felt disjointed in clumpy sections throughout. I felt that there was a lot of truth left out, but it still adds to our understanding of Fitzgerald and Zelda‘s relationship.
I was browsing Pinterest (my other almost unhealthy obsession) and came across a pair of Jane Austen sneakers, naturally I had to go to the website, y'all they have some fantastic bookish shoes. Austen, Hemingway, T.S. Eliot, Kafka. They have To Kill a Mockingbird. They also have Frida Kahlo, and Johnny Cash and Bowie. 😻😍 because I'm an enabler https://www.windowshopcafe.com/collections/shoes/products/womens-zelda-fitzgeral...

Happy Birthday, dear lady! I hope you spent it dancing in fountains, painting pictures, spinning pirouettes, writing exceptional pieces in your journal, and living life how you want to in the sky. You were truly an Original, cheers!

My #litsypartyofone started out with a bang. It was such a riotous affair I fell asleep without posting it! I plan on keeping the party going today for sure. I love this kind of party. (Not pictured: 🍷🍷🍕)

Lunch and a book. When mom offers you some of her tabbouleh...you request a double helping for lunches this week. #spoiled #momscooking #zeldafitzgerald #buddyread #flapper #theoriginalflapper #lunchread #lunchandabook
This is Zelda's response to her husbands novel Tender is the Night. #setinthe1920s #marchintoreading #z
pickFinally finished this one today. There's not much of a plot but it doesn't really matter--the real standout is how Zelda Fitzgerald describes things.
#augustphotochallenge #day5 I don't think I have any sports books, but I am (sort of) reading while watching the opening ceremonies tonight! #booksandsports
