Our February #buddyread is VW's third novel, published in 1922, Jacob's Room. The main protagonist, Jacob Flanders, is revealed to us through the opinions of other characters. This is considered an important text as VW moves away from conventional plot driven fiction to a more experimental, modernist way of writing.

Here, we have our reading list for 2025. It's a good mix of her novels, short stories, esays, and biography. I'll tag them all in the comments for your perusal.

I can't wait to delve deeper into the world of Virginia Woolf. 📚📚📚

Well, November was a blur! How did you get on with our #buddyread
Modern Fiction was first published in 1919 as Modern Novels. It was later published in her collection of essays The Common Reader - Vol 1.

Did you agree with her push for a more subjective, less materialistic firm of storytelling?

I read the short essay Modern Fiction by Virginia Woolf for the #VirginiaBloomsberries - The only book of hers I‘ve read so far is Mrs. Dalloway, so I‘m looking forward to reading more of her books. This essay talks about modern writers versus the classics and how modern writers should focus on writing what they want versus what is expected of them.
