2-16-21: My 18th finished book of 2021! Not sure if this is the third or fourth time I‘ve read about Esther Greenwood and her time in NYC and her eventual breakdown, suicide attempt and hospitalization, but every time I read it I find something new to love about this book. I wish Sylvia had written more novels. 😢 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #thebelljar #sylviaplath 👍🏼📖#️⃣1️⃣8️⃣

mandarchy I started this a few years ago and stopped just at the moment she enters her parent's house and uses the phone (this is my memory). I think it's the moment she starts to lose it. I haven't been able to go back. But twice people have gifted me cheap caviar and I can't help but think I need French fries and champagne. Is this even the right book? 3y
Leftcoastzen I like to imagine she would have written some more fiction. 3y

And now, for the third time, I'm cozying up with one of my all-time #favorite novels! I read #TheBellJar my senior year of high school, again when I was 25, and now at 30. This journey may be about Esther's struggle and self-discovery, but every time I read it I feel like part of this story is my own. How does one decide what direction to take in life? Can you restart at any time? Why can't I have choices? Commitment and adventure?

Day 2: #NewYork (all of these books are set in NY) #Aprella

#TheBellJar “chronicles the crack-up of the brilliant, beautiful, talented, and successful Esther Greenwood.. #SylviaPlath masterfully draws the reader into Esther's breakdown with such intensity that her insanity becomes completely real and even rational...Such deep penetration into the dark and harrowing corners of the psyche... has made The Bell Jar a haunting American classic.” #TBR

#thebelljar by #sylviaplath is one of my all time favorite novels! I am hoping to make the time to reread it this year. It‘s such a great book with a very accurate representation of depression. I highly recommend this one if you haven‘t read it yet!✨

"I felt my lungs inflate with the onrush of scenery—air, mountains, trees, people. I thought, "This is what it is to be happy."

One of my favorites! Have you read much Plath?

I pulled #TheBellJar out of the Mason jar! I tried this new method for deciding what to read next. My brother recommended this book to me, so let's give it a shot!

Despite the Chinese whispers of a novel that's tough to read, one that's so sad and emotional utter strength is needed in order to maintain your own sanity. But Sylvia Plath writes through the autobiographical voice of Esther, who undoubtedly has issues regarding feminism and mental health. This novel was poetic beyond words and a brilliant read.
