pickI won‘t lie - I‘m a Frida fan girl through and through. And this book just made me fall in love with her all the more. It‘s so raw and honest, I loved that the biographer relied on letters and direct conversations to convey Frida‘s story, because that‘s how she would have wanted to be remembered (I imagine). Frida was such a beautiful, strong, phenomenal woman. It was a true pleasure getting to know this icon up close.
Much of this biography is #SetInMexico, as Kahlo lived primarily in Mexico City. If you ever have the chance to visit her home in Coyoacán (La Casa Azul, now a museum), don't miss it! #BiblioMAYnia #frida

pickWow!! There is so much information in this book, don‘t read unless you want to know everything! It took me longer than normal as I had to look at every picture as the book was discussing it.
Frida was compelling, contradictory and complex and I think I‘m a little bit in love with her! I‘m definitely in awe of her.
Fascinating read.
My sweet cousin sent me this lovely book! Can‘t wait to dive in!

I'm giving my daughter this book for Christmas because Frida Kahlo is amazing and we're all learning Spanish. 💙💚💛🧡💜 Thanks so much for offering this giveaway, @RebelReader! #weedingwednesdaygiveaway
A collection of my favorite #bookmarks! The Frida, MLK, and gold cat have been with me for a long time, and my grandmother made the blue snowflake one. 😃
A day late, because that is just how my life is right now. 😆

Suggested reading for #womenshistorymonth 👍🏼🤓🇲🇽
#artrelatedbooks- this is one of my favorites! It's such a detailed biography of badass artist. And I also love the movie with Salma Hayek 💗
I couldn't think of too many #artrelatedbooks that I read and was all that excited about (though I almost went with The Goldfinch), but I've had this biography of Frida Kahlo on my want-to-read list forever and I think I'll try to get to it in 2017. I believe the Salma Hayek movie was based specifically on this biography, though I haven't actually seen that movie. #seasonsreadings2016
pickGreat read if you're a fan of Frida! Really interesting insights into her paintings and what was going on in her life at the time she created them.
#AllHallowsRead How about a Frida Kahlo Day of the Dead #bookmark? Close enough? 😉
From my well worn copy: "Painting was part of Frida Khalo's battle for life. It was also part of her self-creation: in her art, as in her life, a theatrical self-presentation was a means to control her world." #booktober #BooksSetinSAmerica
"Many of them recall that she always carried a schoolboy's knapsack amounting to "a little world on her back": texts, notebooks, drawings, butterflies and dried flowers, colors, and books printed in gothic script from the library of her father."
A little different for my #wcw - an amazing biography about a vivid woman! Friday Kahlo seems to be everywhere but without all the fascinating details of her life widely known. A well researched look at Frida's childhood during the Mexican Revolution, a devastating injury, her politics, sexuality and marriage, and of course her artwork!
"Nell'albero da frutta eterno i tuoi frutti regalano gli aromi i tuoi fiori regalano i colori crescendo con la gioia dei venti e dei boccioli. Non smettere di dissetare l'albero di cui sei il sole, l'albero che ha fatto tesoro del tuo seme "Diego" è il nome dell'amore".
pickFrida Kahlo is one of my favorite artists. I read this when I was very young, probably too young to fully comprehend exactly what she went through. An amazing read about her life from childhood to death. I highly recommend if you are a fan of her art!
