The Annotated Mrs. Dalloway | Virginia Woolf, Merve Emre
post image

A very happy 100th birthday to my number one favorite book of all time: Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf! 🩷🩷🩷

On March 14th 1925, Woolf published one of the greatest pieces of literature! 🥳🎉 This book has influenced my life in so many ways, and I will forever love it and Virginia Woolf! 📖

Billypar I think I'm finally going to read it sometime in the next few months - looking forward to it! 1w
tpixie Do you recommend the annotated version for a first time VW reader? 1w
Clare-Dragonfly Wow, happy birthday Mrs. Dalloway! I should give it a reread—I haven‘t read it since high school, but I loved it then. 1w
Branwen @Billypar YES! That's awesome! I can't wait to hear what you think about it! 💕 @Clare-Dragonfly Now is the perfect time for a reread! 🥰 @tpixie Absolutely! I don't think it's necessary to read the annotated version, but you will definitely get the most out of it by reading it that way for the first time! 📖🩷 7d
tpixie @Branwen thanks! I‘ll have to order it on Bookshop.org 6d

LOST IN THE GARDEN. | ADAM S. LESLIE
post image

What happens when a Canadian who loves smaller press and translated fiction hits London, finds used books by the Thames, goes to Brick Lane Books *and* Blackwell‘s in Oxford? This happens (oh, and I still have Daunt Books and Hatchards before we leave). And even better? Three of them are signed editions!

The Stepdaughter | Caroline Blackwood

Pickpick

This is a book that hit the right note for me. A short volume, in reprint, it js written as a series of letters from the narrator to an unnamed friend describing her predicament. Her husband has left her, leaving her in an expensive apartment in New York with their daughter and her teenage stepdaughter that she despises. Blackwood does not shy away from making her main character‘s thoughts and actions morally reprehensible. More in comments ⬇️

Gleefulreader The book careens to an unexpected and satisfying ending. A fascinating story of what happens when our darkest wishes are granted. 4mo

A couple of the first writings in this collection covers Collette and Lee Miller, and I knew I was going to love this one. She also covers other women and some men, but also looks at different parts of her own life
