so-soFor the most part, She Came To Stay was just good. Not rush-out-into-the-street-and-shout-about-it good, like The Bell Jar, just good enough to keep going. I felt like it was a bit too long; after just 150 pages, I was wondering where on earth it could possibly go, so the final sections dragged a bit. And the “shock twist ending” was kind of lost on me... Full review here: http://keepingupwiththepenguins.com/she-came-to-stay-simone-de-beauvoir/

#FierceFebDay 15: Simone De Beauvoir has always been perceived as some kind of a #RebelGirl. The book on the left can also serve as #Memoir for #ReadingResolutions.
Day two of #FeistyFeb, not going to lie, this was tough as there aren't too many #shadows in my shelves! These are all great picks though!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
