Thank goodness I no longer have to pay #rent. Just a mortgage. But the trade off is I get a library. Please pardon the mess.

Virginia Woolf | Zena Alkayat

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.”

BookBabe 😍 5y

Cinfhen Well played 🙌🏻 5y

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

Magic Prague | Michael Henry Heim, Angelo Maria Ripellino

My fascination with the capital of Bohemia aka Prague began with Kafka. For years I was fascinated by Prague & the tagged book was a real eye opener. A nonfiction history, encompassing the political, artistic & cultural history of the city, not being familiar with Peter Ackroyd at the time I'd never read anything like it before. Prague remains one of the cities I'd most like to travel to.
#MusicalNewYear #LaVieBoheme @Cinfhen

Cinfhen Great post!! Prague is a gorgeous city!! But man, it‘s medieval!!! All those gargoyles. Definitely a city to immerse yourself in. 🖤 5y

BarbaraBB Great post! I love Prague too but man, soooo many tourists there you can hardly see the city. 😂 5y

BarbaraBB Did you receive the book I sent you? According to the t&t system it should have been delivered on Monday. Hope it did 💕 5y

vivastory @BarbaraBB I got a notice that I have a package at the office, but I haven't been able to make it over there yet. I'm definitely going to stop by tomorrow! 5y

BarbaraBB No hurry, I‘m happy to know it arrived safely! 5y

All Passion Spent | Vita Sackville-West

Last year I read and loved Virginia Woolf's Orlando, which was inspired by Vita Sackville-West, which led me down a rabbit hole of Sackville-West's work, which led me to purchase this book. According to the blurb it is: "Irreverently funny and surprisingly moving...the story of a woman who discovers who she is just before it is too late."

These books show a particular lifestyle, perhaps not Bohemian, but the trends, who‘s who, and fashion of the Pirate era.

Tanisha_A @BarbaraBB Such a hard time, I agree! 5y

Cinfhen I think they would also work for #Booked2019 #publicDomain 5y

Megabooks I need to read her too! 5y

britt_brooke I read To the Lighthouse last year and could not handle her stream of consciousness. It works for me with some books, but really, really didn‘t with that one. I‘m reluctant to try any of her other books. I‘ll be curious to see what you think. Good luck!! 5y

Reviewsbylola Good luck. That‘s all I‘m gonna say. 5y
