cute way to propose for the avid book reader.
Err, excuse me, but anyone treating my books that way would be on their way out PRONTO.
Most of my bookshelves. As I may have mentioned, I pruned my book collection prior to the move, then got 5 bookcases. Did I miscalculate! But, at least I have room for expansion, now.
My short stories and poetry (only half a shelf, don’t get excited) are in case number four.
NOT ENOUGH.
It looks like 2012 will end in a haze of literary glory: not one or two, but six movie adaptations of excellent novels will be coming out by the end of this year. If I were sufficiently self-centered, I’d think the universe is trying to make up for Under The Skin.
These are six movies I will…
Try-out for my reading photoproject. Like?
re-read Jane Eyre [which has just arrived today, YAY] or take up Marilynne Robinson’s Gilead, which is bound to make me sad?
@9 months agoLook at these wonderful hardback editions <3 The Great Gatsby and Flappers and Philosophers arrived today; I already owned Tales of the Jazz Age. Aren’t they gorgeous?
So I’m in love.
My woefully small short stories/poetry section.
My Austens <3 Pride and Prejudice is currently on a field trip, trying to get my baby sister interested in reading, along with Good Omens.
I can assure you Emma is as well-read as the others, but I used to be VERY uptight about the condition of my books and recently relaxed. It just hasn’t been read in the last few months.
A closer look at my baby library.
Inside detail: Penguin hardcover edition of Tales of the Jazz Age by F. Scott Fitzgerald.
This copy was a present from my friend Maria. Photo by me.
