A surprising number of strong contenders for #LetterV in the #alphabetgame but in the end I chose this (fictional) short reply to St Augustine's Confessions by his unnamed girlfriend.

@Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
A fictional novella-length letter giving the reactions of Floria, St. Augustine of Hippo's concubine who he abandoned, to his Confessions.
I enjoyed the debunking of the Confessions, and her insistence that God's creation is to be enjoyed, not despised.
One of the best days of every month - my personalised ‘surprise‘ book subscription arriving. Can‘t wait to see what the amazing Amy at Mr B‘s has selected for me this month 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Why is that I always seem to read my #doublespin first each month?
This just wasn‘t for me. Maybe I had a bad translation, but I had a hard time tracking the thought process through the book as a whole and at the sentence-level. There is some good stuff in here, but I ended up doing a lot of skimming.
#MarchUnshelving report:
✅Read 50% physical books from my own shelves
❌Donate 15 books (only got rid of 8)
However, the blue titles with pink on the sides - a total of five books - are in the giveaway box, even if they haven't quite made it out of the house, so that brings me much closer!!
Thanks for the inspiration @Clwojick !!!
I love buying used books and imagining where the book has been before it got to me. In this case, I don‘t have to imagine!
Book 1/15 leaving my house for #MarchUnshelving!! This one just wasn't for me, so it's heading out via Paperback Swap, which if you haven't checked out you totally should!!
Readathon progress: finished a book and halfway through two more. Super busy week so not as much reading time as I want!!

Re-reading this in its entirety for the first time in 20 years...I can see why 18 yo Julia was so into it 😁
