Northanger Abbey | Nancy Butler

This was a fun graphic novel of Northanger Abbey.

Mid-month check in. Read any good Northanger Abbey retellings? Anything you've hated?

Andrea313 Northranger by Rex Ogle was lots of fun, and I'm enjoying Ghosted so far. But I did a re-read of the following and any silly charm it may have once held drastically faded into sheer stupidity: 2w

An odd format, described as a novel but containing much biography and thoughts on the life of a writer. Thoroughly enjoyable mostly but the literary critical segments sometimes get a little convoluted. Definite pick though.

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! 2mo
tpixie Do you recommend the annotated version for a first time VW reader? 2mo
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. 1mo
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! 📖🩷 1mo
tpixie @Branwen thanks! I‘ll have to order it on Bookshop.org 1mo

LOST IN THE GARDEN. | ADAM S. LESLIE

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
post image
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. 5mo
