Yay fall!! I love me some summer, but it went on waaaaayyyyyy too long. Four seasons please! Feeling very #hygge this morning .
I‘m also determined to finish this book today. #booksandtea
#bookbowl @Librarianaut If the games real good I'll stick with it but if i get bored I'll be reading & tuining in to commercials. Thank goodness for #serialreader stopped at my in-laws we decide to stay to watch game here w\o a book handy so it will be coming through for me incase i get bored with the game. How funny is this JT superbowl meme? Hubby who's a sports fanatic even found it funny said it was made for sports fans like me 😉
pickBeauty is only skin deep. Dorian is such an interesting character.
I think there is some truth to this. I love my parents with all my heart, but especially after their divorce 8 years ago, I have definitely been judging them more. Luckily, I have been able to forgive them, too ❤️

Love the campy covers to these!

This month, our book theme is a cautionary tale of vanity, greed, and beauty. See what our founder, Jennifer Niven, has to say about Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray in a letter to all of you Germies at the link here: http://www.germmagazine.com/monthly-letter-from-the-editor/
This man had so many awesome points to make 😍 I've lost count how many times I quoted him over the years 🤔
Got these 2 beautiful Folio Society books with the remaining money on my Barter Books account.
pickIf I could spend an evening out to dinner with any author, alive or dead, I would sit in a lovely dark corner table at some wine cave and talk deeply to Oscar about our exuberance for life. Dorian Gray is a hellish blaze. 5⭐️
so-so⭐⭐ 2.5 stars. This took entirely too long for me to finish. The first few chapters and the last few chapters were great, but the middle just really dragged! I think I'll reward myself by watching Velvet Goldmine this weekend *happy sigh*

What is going on? Just lists and lists and lists going on for pages on what Dorian's latest obsession is. While the idea of his mindless obsession is interesting, I'm having a very difficult time not just skipping all of this until we get back on track...that will happen, right? #classics
"Most people become bankrupt through having invested too heavily in the prose of life. To have ruined oneself over poetry is an honour."
My #classiccharacter choice for #octphotochallenge is my also my favorite character of all time: Dorian Gray. I love this character always. Pictured is the portrayal by Ben Barnes. Colin Firth played Henry Wotton.
