#NewYearNewYou Day 5: In this illustrated biography of Woolf, it was evident how Virginia followed her own counsel, and did not care too much about what other people would say, or even about appearances and propriety as she “scandalously” shared a house with four men, including her brother, Adrian. #Scandal My full review of this gorgeous book: https://wp.me/pDlzr-dyU

DrSabrinaMoldenReads Before she got married? She really did care too much though about what people thought about her which was a surprising find from reading her diary. 4y

This gorgeously illustrated biography follows Woolf‘s remarkable life and works. She was one of the founding member of the Bloomsbury Group.
Excerpt:”On Thursday evenings, Virginia‘s brother Thoby would invite his Cambridge friends to gather in the parlour to discuss art, politics, philosophy and their grand ideas. This was the start of the Bohemian ‘Bloomsbury Group‘ and Virginia delighted in her new freedom.”

vivastory This book sounds fantastic. 5y
vivastory @merelybookish have you seen this? 5y
merelybookish No, but thanks for the heads up! There is so much BY VW and then so much ABOUT her, and then there's all the Bloomsbury material (by & about.) It's quite overwhelming so for now I'm trying to keep focused on what VW wrote. Still, I spent time down a rabbit hole last night reading up on her mental illness. 😶 So it's hard not to read around her while reading her. 5y

Another charming book in the Life Portraits series. Interesting information about the remarkable life of Woolf, the Bloomsbury Group, and her relationship with Leonard Woolf. Filled with anecdotes, quotes, and pretty illustrations. 💜
