Jess_Read_This Champagne and feta saganaki?! Sounds like a perfect pairing for a great stack of books! I really enjoyed Midnight at the Bright Ideas. Bookstore. It was a different kind of read. 7y

Tropic of Capricorn | Henry Miller

#FierceFeb Day 16: Henry Miller was definitely asking #IsThisDesire as he wrote this sensuous trilogy that I am hoping I will get to read for our #ContoursOfLove reading theme at GatheringBooks til end of March, but I doubt I‘d be able to. Good intentions count for something though, I believe.

batsy I haven't read, but from what I've heard this is the perfect choice 😊 I've read some of Anais Nin's journals... He comes up quite a bit! 7y
Cinfhen Whoa 😲 those covers....pretty steamy 7y
Dulcinella I love his books. 7y

The Snow Child | Eowyn Ivey

Pickpick

I loved the sense of place in this novel, the surreal/mystical but still somewhat explicable events surrounding Faina‘s background, the down-in-the-bone melancholia, and the restrained expressions of love borne out of strife and misfortune. It is a quiet story that would grow on the reader, if you allow it. #ContoursOfLove reading theme for GatheringBooks.

#ReadingResolutions Day 1: #FebruaryTBR - first two books are for my online/virtual book clubs - while all the rest are for our website‘s current reading theme on #ContoursOfLove - and they also fit our #LitWorld2018GB Challenge :) Strategic reading is what it is. ;)

Cinfhen I‘m reading Snow Child now, I‘ll be curious to hear your thoughts❣️ 7y
GatheringBooks @Cinfhen am really enjoying it while also being thoroughly creeped out by it 7y
Cinfhen I didn‘t like it! I found it very slow going and the magical elements frustrated me. I‘m glad you‘re enjoying. Most readers like this book. 7y
