#AllThatIWant
review

Mehso-so

So, I feel that I maybe need to take a class on AS Byatt to fully comprehend what's going on here 😂 These are five dream-like tales, all rooted in art, mythology, and fantasy in one way or another which present the reader with unsettled characters facing their fears or uncertainties. I enjoyed 3 of these stories, and the other 2 were just okay for me. But Byatt is undoubtedly a master of language and character and I took my time with this one 👇

ephemeralwaltz ... as I enjoyed dipping in and out of her world inbetween my other current reads. Overall rating 3 ⭐, but very interested to explore her work further! Thanks again @Smarkies for this lovely copy. 6y
ephemeralwaltz And as I am trying to catch up on #SeptemberDanes prompts, I'm gonna mention that I've come down with the worst cold and #AllThatIWant is to get better so I can slip into a better mindset for reading this weekend 😭 @Cinfhen @Kalalatja 6y
Kalalalatja Great review! And I‘m so sorry about your cold. Self care all the way 👏 6y
Cinfhen #AllIWant is for u to feel better ❤️ 6y
ephemeralwaltz @Cinfhen @Kalalalatja thank you 😭😭💜💜 yes, I'm not leaving the house all weekend and that sounds like my kind of plan :) 6y

Walks Around Hay-On-Wye | Les Lumsdon, Mike Ledlie, Morag Perrott
post image

This place is a literary enthusiast‘s paradise! #AllthatIwant is to spend a few days walking around the small market town, visiting the over 30 bookshops, feasting my eyes on the thousands and thousands of books and antiquarian books, absorbing the literary vibes and maybe enough moolah to buy a dozen books or so. 😁 Oh look, the upcoming festival is in May. 😉

Texreader I desperately wanted to visit when we were in the U.K. two summers ago. But the fam wouldn‘t feed my book addiction. 6y
Cathythoughts Sounds wonderful! I‘d love to go too. It‘s just to get enough moolah together 😊❤️ 6y
rabbitprincess It is lovely! I heartily endorse going. 😄 We went last September and it was a good time of year to visit. 6y

Kalalalatja Oh boyband crushes 😍 6y
Cinfhen Haha!! I love those meet & greets 😄it‘s worth every cent to see their faces, especially the tears!!! 6y

#allthatiwant is a huge bookshelf of Folio Society books. 😍😍 Image shamelessly stolen off of google. 😆

#septemberdanes

Bklover I love that the tops of the books are covered. What an ingenious way of keeping books from getting dusty. 😊 6y

Kalalalatja That really is the dream 😍😍😍 6y
erzascarletbookgasm Oh, yes! 🙌😍 6y
Cinfhen I‘m not a Folio girl but I can still see the beauty!!! And I love that @Mdargusch had the same thought 💛 6y
LeahBergen Yes! 😍😍 6y
Mdargusch 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗 6y
Reviewsbylola Like you don‘t like folios? Is that what you mean? 🤯 @Cinfhen 6y
Cinfhen Yup @Reviewsbylola I have no want/desire to own/collect pretty books 🙄🙈same with jewelry... I used to to care about designer shoes & handbags but I realized it was such a waste (at least books you read) And definitely moving halfway around the world made me realize how much stuff I had that I just didn‘t need. It was an eye opening lesson. But I do love seeing the beautiful editions with the stunning illustrations,covers and end papers 💕😍 6y
Reviewsbylola I am actually very similar. @Cinfhen As far as folios, I only want ones that I think I will actually read/reread. 6y
Cinfhen 💞💕💞💕💞 6y

Looking through my Folio catalogue for gift ideas but #allthatiwant is to buy some of these for myself! 🤦🏼‍♀️
#septemberdanes
(Plus, I need that little free notebook!)

Kalalalatja I now that feeling all too well! 6y
Reviewsbylola Hahaha I just posted about Folios too! All my perusing on their site yesterday gave me serious envy! 6y
PurpleyPumpkin I paged through my catalogue on the weekend. There‘s so much I want to buy!!!!📚 6y

erzascarletbookgasm Looks like all we Littens want are Folio books! 😍 6y
CWilson Those are so pretty! 6y
LeahBergen 😍😍😍 6y
AlaMich I miss paper catalogs of pretty things. The internet is awesome, but nothing can take their place. 6y
CouronneDhiver Those folio books all look so pretty but I‘m not sure I‘d actually read them... Not much point in a book you don‘t use 😜 6y
Mdargusch You are smart! @CouronneDhiver Mine just sit on my shelf looking pretty. I think I will make that a New Years resolution- to start actually reading them! 6y
Mdargusch I love the illustrations in them @CWilson 💗 6y
Mdargusch I agree @AlaMich looking at the Folio catalogue in print is so much better! 6y

#AllThatIWant is time to finish this book under the covers. Unfortunately, I don‘t have time today, which is kinda my own fault. I have wanted to do something new to my book shelves for a while, and I decided today is the day! 👏👏

#SeptemberDanes

GatheringBooks it looks gorgeous! 6y
emilyhaldi Can‘t wait to see what you do with your shelves!! 6y
Kalalalatja @GatheringBooks I‘m in love with this cover! @emilyhaldi the difference isn‘t really that notable 😅 my books are stacked double, and the books in the back have annoyed me for a long time because there was no system to them and I could never find the book I was looking for. So now I have alphabetized them, and just put the front books back almost the same way 😄 6y

Reviewsbylola This is my wish for the day too. I highly doubt I‘ll get in any more reading than usual but one can dream. 😆 6y
erzascarletbookgasm Ooo waiting to see what you‘ve done to your already gorgeous bookshelves! I plan to reorganise mine soon. 6y
Kalalalatja @erzascarletbookgasm I‘ll be sure to post a shelfie, even though the difference is only obvious for me 😄😄 @Reviewsbylola this is my wish every day tbh, and being unemployed makes that a bit easier to actually do 👍😄 6y
emilyhaldi Ooohhh I never realized your shelves were double stacked!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 6y
Kalalalatja @emilyhaldi oh, yes! I wouldn‘t be able to fit them in otherwise 😅 with close to 600 books some kind of system is needed! 6y
