#VirginiaBloomsberries @AllDebooks

This is my favorite VW novel. It‘s so difficult to write a review of this book. The plot: a family staying on an island wants to visit a lighthouse, but they do not. I guess you don‘t read VW for the plot. It‘s all in the writing and the emotions evoked. See above for details.

BkClubCare Yes. Immersive is the word that comes to mind. How to capture all the sensations of a moment. 4w
AllDebooks It was perfect. Great review x 4w

I've been looking forward to this one the most. I'm hoping to squeeze in the 1992 film by Sally Potter.

willaful I've never had any luck reading Woolf. What would people say is her most accessible book? 2mo
AmyG I am going to pass this month as I will be on vacation. 2mo
vonnie862 I've never read her before. I wonder which book to choose. 2mo
AllDebooks @willaful @vonnie862 I would suggest one of he early novels The Voyage Out or Night and Day or a short story collection. 2mo
willaful @AllDebooks thanks! 2mo
MemoirsForMe I‘ll be joining the party and reading To the Lighthouse. Maybe even 2mo
MemoirsForMe @AmyG Happy Vacationing! ❤️🎉🏖️ 2mo
CatLass007 Orlando, Mrs. Dalloway, and A Writer‘s Diary are free on Audible. Orlando and Mrs. Dalloway are my priorities, and I might at least begin A Writer‘s Diary. 2mo
tpixie It‘s only 12 issues on Serial Reader (edited) 2mo
vlwelser I have an old copy of this that has been hiding in my secret TBR cupboard. 2mo
AmyG @MemoirsForMe Thank You! 2mo
Melismatic Giving Serial Reader a try! Thanks for the suggestion! Starting with Monday or Tuesday and then perhaps tackling Mrs Dalloway 2mo
tpixie I‘ve been hoping to do a mini immersion with Virginia Woolf. So hopefully I can take advantage of this month and do it! 2mo

I really enjoyed this glimpse into the rural life of VW and her fellow authors.

🌿 What did you think of the biography?

🌿 Did the accounts of VW's contemporaries, Townsend-Warner & Lehmann, help give context into her world?

All welcome to join in. Please let me know if you wish to be added/removed from the taglist.

TheBookHippie I like rounding her out so to speak with all the differing books and letters and witnesses to her life. Give context to a complex person I think. 2mo

AllDebooks @TheBookHippie I thought so. I'm glad you thought the same. I was worried about adding this to the buddy read list as only a third of it is about VW. However, I'm glad I did as it was quite a different pov of her. 2mo
TheBookHippie @AllDebooks I think so too. I enjoyed it quite a bit. It‘s good to see all sides I think. 2mo
PurpleyPumpkin I had a bit trouble getting my hands on this book. But I was able to order a copy from Britain and just received it! I will read it shortly and then circle back to your questions. I‘m looking forward to this one! 2mo
