Blood and Guts in High School | Kathy Acker

Woke up today to an email from penguin saying a bunch of the #penguinmodernclassics are on sale for 99p just for today! I already had most of the ones that were on sale 😞 but I did pick up the tagged book, Zami by Audre Lorde and Child of All Nations by Irmgaard Keun

Mdargusch Thanks for the heads up! 6y

Emilymdxn @Mdargusch the selection isn‘t huge but if there‘s even one thing you‘re interested in it‘s very worth it! 6y

pgh.femme Kathy Acker ❤️😻❤️ (edited) 6y

Emilymdxn @pgh.femme I‘ve never actually read anything by her and I know very little about her other than that the blurb looked interesting! Would you recommend?? 6y

bookcollecter Amazing book! 6y

Bonjour Tristesse and A Certain Smile | Fran�oise Sagan

pick

I finished Bonjour Triesste last night. It was a wonderful and quick read and I think it‘s deserving of being a solid 4 star. Françoise Sagan has been described as the French F. Scott Fitzgerald and I have to say that‘s pretty accurate! I loved her writing. Can‘t wait to read A Certain Smile. #bookaddict #booklover #bookblog #bookworm #bookish #penguinmodernclassics

Bonjour Tristesse and A Certain Smile | Fran�oise Sagan

Good good morning beautiful souls 🖤🌻

I‘m overjoyed this morning because I passed my exam and my module and am accepted to my October modules. I want to dance and squeal but it‘s 7am so I‘ll drink coffee and read whilst my daughter watches her breakfast cartoons instead. I‘m 50-60 pages into each of my reads now and I am loving them all. #bookaddict #booklover #bookblog #bookish #bookworm #bookstamums #penguinmodernclassics

What‘s self control? 🤷🏼‍♀️

This is my #currentlyreading pile. I‘ve gone from reading Silence of the Girls, two reading three books at once and although this is a technique I want to learn to help me battle my overflowing TBR, I‘m still learning how to work multiple books at once effectively.

So, I guess I‘m accepting eyeball donations now 💁🏼‍♀️🤔#penguinenglishlibrary #penguinmodernclassics

keys_on_fire I don‘t usually have multiple books going of one type. The way I do it is hat I have one print book, one ebook, and one audio book. That way if I don‘t have my print book with me, I can read on my phone if I have the opportunity, and I listen to my audio book on the way to and from work. 6y

ephemeralwaltz Self control? No idea. I'm always reading more than one book too; 6y

Sophoclessweetheart @ephemeralwaltz Who needs that self control stuff anyway? 🤷🏼‍♀️😹🖤 6y

Sophoclessweetheart @keys_on_fire That‘s a great idea! I don‘t use audiobooks or ebooks personally, but if you do that‘s a brilliant way to work them 👏 6y

Weaponxgirl I will read multiple books at a time but I find I need to have different genres on the go at once. So generally I'll have one fiction and non fiction all the time. This is because I like to follow the thread of fiction without confusing myself too much. Other combos that can work are essay collections and short stories and poetry fits in anywhere. I will also often throw in a bio or memoir but that's my lack of control. 6y

BooknerdsLife Haha I'm forever reading more than one book at a time since I get bored too easily & Im totally a big mood reader 😅🙈 But I do try to read different genre at the same time so I won't get too confused 🤗 6y

Sophoclessweetheart @weaponxgirl I have tried to do multiple reads with one nonfiction or poetry and one fiction but I‘m trying to branch out and just read 2-3 of whatever I want to read at once because I‘m currently just wanting to read everything right away 😹😹 6y

Sophoclessweetheart @booknerdslife I‘m hoping once this dire need to read everything at once right away wears off I can go back to one book at a time. Hah 😹 6y

BooknerdsLife @Sorceryandswords Haha OK 😂 I doubt it will wear off so tho...It's our biggest problem : Too many books, too little time 🤣😈 6y

The Picture of Dorian Gray | Oscar Wilde

Opening line: "The studio was filled with the rich ordour of roses, and when the light summer wind stirred amidst the trees of the garden, there came through the open door the heavy scent of lilac, or the more delicate perfume of the pink-flowering thorn." #thepictureofdoriangray #oscarwilde #penguinmodernclassics #book #bookgnome #firstline #bookcover #bookish
