Mehso-so

2.5/5
I liked the 1st part when she puts into context the sculpture, when she gives info about Degas which offers a better understanding of the work itself, and its harsh reception at the time.
I didn't like the digressions: pointless comparison of hardship, emotional judgements... These made it harder to read. I would have preferred more emotional distance from the writer, more structure too. In the
end, we don't know much more about the model

We do not care what else is happening this weekend, or what may come up. We will be attending the protest Saturday (if our joints cooperate), then promptly heading home to hermit up for the rest of the weekend. We do not want company. We will be reading, napping, and watching trash.

Sparklemn Sounds like the perfect weekend! 1w

dabbe After a day of protesting you need a day of rest and watching trash. I'm hoping to do the same. May our bodies cooperate. 😂😍😂 1w

lil1inblue @Sparklemn I'm so excited. 🥰 1w
lil1inblue @aims42 @dabbe @amiable I have a plan to sauna Saturday morning, which should appease the joints long enough to protest. The weather and pressure have been so up and down, it's been a rough week. My mind loves Autumn; my body does not. 😂 1w
AnnCrystal Be Safe 👸👏🏼🥳✊🏼💙. (edited) 1w
Dilara Good luck for Saturday. I think it's fair to say that people all over the world are rooting for the protesters... 1w

There's no nibbling in covert operations!

Not even in Paris?
Another good reason for avoiding MI5...🤣

The House of Shattered Wings | Aliette de Bodard
post image

Aliette de Bodard is one of those authors I really, really want to love, but I‘ve never clicked with her longer work. (I‘ve enjoyed some of her short fiction.) Going by this book‘s opening, I think maybe her prose is precise in a way that shuts me out of the story‘s emotional side. Hopefully the rest of the thing‘ll win me over and change my mind.

Also, you‘ll appreciate why I had to buy and immediately assemble this diorama kit. #audiocrafting

Happened upon this at a used book store right after hearing a podcast suggestion. I liked it a lot and can‘t wait to dig in to more from Alan Furst

Mistress of the Ritz | Melanie Benjamin

Pickpick

“Love must be sweeter, when death is so close you can touch it.”

When the Nazis overtake the Ritz Hotel in WWII, it is miserable for everyone including the writers and artists, those who are secretly part of the Resistance, and especially the director Claude and his wife Blanche. Historical Fiction.

A short sweet story! Nice way to start my vacation. Although it‘s not one I would likely add to my library, I‘m glad I read it. Will pass it on to someone else.
