pickBlume tells the story of Hemingways struggles to get his big break and the story behind The Sun Also Rises. What did I learn? Hemingway wasn‘t nearly as creative as I had thought, in this case using the story of a strange bender with friends as the plot for his book. It confirmed than Hemingway was quite honestly an ass. Yet at the same time, I‘m tempted to actually read one of his books for the first time in over twenty years.

pick4✨It has been a while since I‘ve read anything from Hemingway, but I feel like his books continue to reveal themselves throughout this historical fiction. Farewell to arms being one that was lived by the characters and it brings about the story. The life and love story of a favorite author of mine was fun to read in this fictional depiction.
Probably both.
I‘ve mislaid my in progress book so when it didn‘t turn up immediately, I grabbed this to start. And now the furs have settled in so there‘s no switching up books.
#12Booksof2023 July saw me finally pulling this off my shelves, and it both totally lives up to its hype, and falls into one of my favorite niche genres, groups of artists riffing off of and inspiring one another. @Andrew65
pickDelightful. Short. A look at Hemmingway‘s life in Paris 1921-26, driven to write while still happily married and still unknown. Oh, there are many reasons to visit the Louve, but the reason given here was a new one for me. ☺️
Sometimes reading is a battle, especially on cold days. This short book, by the way, is absolutely delightful. It‘s really short. I‘m almost done.
