girlsgonewild

"You will do foolish things, but do them with with enthusiasm."
Oh those French women writers, they are their own brand of #girlsgonewild. @batsy posted about Anais Nin. This is Colette who flouted so-called proper female behavior her whole life. A recent article described her as "wild, controversial, and free." I've only read Claudine at School but plan to read her other works... eventually. ?

merelybookish @youneverarrived She had a bunch of great lines, especially about cats. 😺 Have you read any Colette? She seems like someone in your wheelhouse. 5y

batsy Love this choice! Was thinking of going with her for this prompt, as well, and tagging this excellent bio. It's more riveting than a lot of plotty novels!

Secrets of the Flesh: A Life of Colette

merelybookish @batsy Cool! I will add it to my TBR Collette stack. 🤓 She is pretty fascinating! I know she wrote in bed and had a special desk designed for it, which I admire immensely! 5y

youneverarrived I‘ve only read Cheri and was a bit disappointed but still want to read the Claudine series 🙂 she fascinates me as a person though! 5y

The Glass Town Game | Catherynne M. Valente

This book is about a boy and three #GirlsGoneWild in the fantastical Glass Town. Where Napoleon is riding around on a porcelain rooster, suitcases can transform into transportation and people are more often made from iron or wood, than from blood and bones. Oh, and all of this is an imaginary world made up by the Brontë siblings.

Valente reimagines the Brontës childhood, and it is a delightful read for both young and old ?

This has to be one of my favorite YA audiobooks! So funny!

Cinfhen I‘m going to use this for #Booked2020 #LOLread 🙌🏻📚💕How are you feeling???? 5y

Megabooks @Cinfhen Great choice! The stuff inside my neck they moved to get to my vertebrae (esophagus, windpipe, soft tissue, etc.) is really swollen and it‘s hard to swallow. That‘s the consistent worst part now. Other than that, it‘s just the usual feeling of post-surgical aches and pains. I seem to be healing up pretty well!! 👍🏻👍🏻 Thanks for asking!! ❤️❤️ 5y

Cinfhen Wow!! That was some major surgery ~ so glad you‘re on the path to wellness 💕💕💕 5y

Where the Dead Go | Sarah Bailey

My latest read has a #gonegirl theme, with the disappearance of a 15 year old girl and the murder of her boyfriend. Halfway through, I‘m liking it and have no clue who‘s done what or why🕵️‍♀️ #movember

Cinfhen

Cinfhen Hmmmmm, sounds REALLY good!!! Is it YA?? I really liked Gone Girl but I find most books didn‘t really hold up to that comparison so I‘m intrigued by this one. 5y

JennyM @Cinfhen not YA, but no way near as good as Gone Girl, although I am enjoying it. Very police procedural and it‘s also book 3 in a series, and I think you kinda need to read the others to get the main detective character 5y

Cinfhen That‘s good to know!! I‘ll pass ~ thanks 😊 5y

JennyM @Cinfhen and I see I‘ve missed half the prompt off #girlsgonewild and got it completely wrong 🤪 It‘s a Monday 🙄 (edited) 5y

Cinfhen It works for me 🙌🏻🎉😊 5y

Centique PS the fabric you‘re wearing looks gorgeous - makes a lovely photo! 5y

JennyM @Centique thanks my lovely. It‘s my favourite long skirt - I just about live in it all summer 💐 5y

Centique @JennyM it‘s gone from winter to summer in about 3 days here so I‘m currently trying to find enough summer clothes - and I‘m definitely envious of your skirt! 😍 Are you in Aus? 5y

JennyM @Centique it‘s always so sudden the change in seasons. Although I‘m in Brissie so it does tend to just be varying degrees of hot 🥵 5y
