Lidia
Suite Francaise | Irne Nmirovsky
post image

#EndPapers for Suite Française. It's a copy of some of the pages of the original manuscript from Irène Némirovsky. It was found more than 60 years after she wrote it. I'm looking forward to reading this one. #ReadingJanuary

LeahBergen I LOVED this book. ❤❤ 8y

Girl with a Pearl Earring | Tracy Chevalier

I know the trend is huge but this one was written and published way before it was trendy. I liked it well enough but enjoyed much more her Remarkable Creatures. #readingjanuary #girlinthetitle

LeahBergen I really liked Remarkable Creatures 👍🏼👍🏼 8y
Ms.Story I have Remarkable Creatures on my list to read soon! ☺ 8y

Doing some more caching up with #readingjanuary day 8 #titleswithpropernames Right now I'm reading this one for uni and it's weird. It's the single most fragmented book I've ever read. It's not even a story, it's beginnings of stories written in a stream of conciousness style. Very confusing and I am not sure if I like it. Has anyone read this book?

@RealLifeReading

scripturient I read this for uni many years ago and liked it at the beginning but then it got weirder and weirder. 8y
vivastory I like this but for me he is a much greater poet. 8y
I-read-and-eat @scripturient For the first 30 pages I was kind of following the story but after that I just got lost. @vivastory I love the prose, the writing is beautiful. We read some fragments today in class and they are stunning in wordchoise and observations. But I don't think it succeeds in being a novel, something that is a compelling read. I can understand him being a great poet though! 8y

Frog Music: A Novel | Emma Donoghue
post image

Caching up (randomly) with #readingjanuary day 5 was #dressesoncovers of which I don't have many. But this cover will work. I have seen a lot of praise for Emma Donoghue on Litsy but reading this book made me hestiant to pick another one of hers up. It was good but I feel it could have been so much more. Any reccomandations?

Chelsea.Poole I didn't enjoy Frog Music as much as some of her others. Have you read 8y
elkeOriginal I actually really love an old one of hers - Kissing the Witch. If you like feminist fairytale retellings 😁 8y
I-read-and-eat @Chelsea.Poole I have not read that one, but I heard great things about it. @elkeo That sounds great! 8y
Chelsea.Poole @I-read-and-eat this has long been one of my favorites. I can't get over it. Nothing at all like Frog Music 8y

My usual #readingequipment for these chilly nights. A teapot full of delicious tea so I can have 3 cups without getting up. A cozy blanket to snuggle with on the couch and offcourse my favourite fancy kitty bookmark to put in my book all the times I have to get up to pee after all that tea 😉

I love reading travel journals in that part of the world. Picture is from a picture book from the 1970s I found at my library. Pretty awesome picture book, amazing photographs of a dangerous but beautiful nature. #readingjanuary

For #readingjanuary, one I forgot to list was to actually do a monthly photo challenge and do every day on it. I always start it and then never remember to do it daily so I have yet to finish one of these. But here are my #bookishresolutions @RealLifeReading Side note: I actually met my Goodreads goal last year, then I changed it and missed it by about 10 so this year I hope to actually reach the goal!
