Welcome to Litsy!

Every day, all day (as it feels like we‘re on the 1,000 month of this administration). That & when I hear “breaking news” all I wonder is what ridiculous thing has the occupant of the WH said or done now.

After reading this book, I realized that even the everyday moments we often overlook can become beautiful when turned into someone‘s writing.
I tried using Litsy, but there weren‘t many comments, and it felt like there wasn‘t much interaction, which was a bit disappointing.
These days, I‘ve been active in a more lively reading community where the atmosphere is great and book recommendations are actively shared.

This was my first Virginia Woolf book and I liked it. Though this was published in 1929, I feel that much of Woolf's arguments are true today. She described women in fiction, such as writers and women mentioned in literature. Woolf pretty much uses various examples as to why women need money and a room of their own in order to write.

I tried so hard to read this. I‘d make it about 5 pages before sleep would take me. I know she‘s working towards a specific point but it‘s hard to see in the overly descriptive retelling of her day.

Meh. Whatever. It's out of the secret TBR cupboard where books go to be ignored.

Reading some Virginia Woolf as I wait for my connecting flight.

I both loved this book and hated it. I consume a lot of academic history and this did not scratch that itch. While it does contain some interesting narrative on the evolution of writing and books which is what I came for, it‘s clear that the author is a novelist by trade and not a historian. As others have noted, this reads more like a long form personal essay that happens to meander through the history of books among other topics. Beware.

I‘m reading this for #authoramonth but tried to read another book of hers a while ago. #sundayfunday

I pre-ordered Kae Tempest's new album, Self Titled, with an accompanying zine (so this counts as a book post, yeah? ?), which arrived today, and it is excellent! ✊??️‍⚧️?️‍?
