Oh hello, my old friend... . . . . #thelonesquirrel #fromwhereistand #walkwoman

The happy moment when you find an out of print novel by Comyns at your local little free library 🤸 . . I have no idea what this book is about but, hey, it's Comyns and she never disappoints. To the anonymous person who for whatever reason let this gem at the free library: thank you! 💚 . . . . . #barbaracomyns #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #happycoincidence #randomfinds #igreads #igbooks #newbooks #bookishfinds

Hi, folks! I spent the afternoon cycling, and, like many times before, we passed by this bucolic house. Every time I come by this place, it feels like passing by a house in a childhood dream. Now, the rain is pouring down, and I am finally home, hugging the heater, drinking tea & reading The Rover (1677), by Aphra Behn (#goddess). What are you reading? . . . . . #fromwhereistand

My #weekendreads - but first, coffee. . . 'The Pumpkin Eater', by Penelope Mortimer (1962) is a novel about a woman's mental breakdown: funny, sharp, cruel, devastating, brilliant. I have a feeling it will end up on my list of favourite reads this year. 🌿 'Eine Frau zu sehen' ('To see a woman', not translated yet), by Annemarie Schwarzenbach (written in 1929, first published in 2008) is an intriguing novella centred on lesbian love. A tiny Schwarzenbach, but better than no Schwarzenbach.🌿 . . . "I have tried to be honest with you, although I suppose that you would really have been more interested in my not being honest. Some of these things happened, and some were dreams. They were all true, as I understood truth. They are all real, as I understood reality." - Penelope Mortimer, The Pumpkin Eater . . "Eine Frau zu sehen: nur eine Sekunde lang, nur im kurzen Raum eines Blickes, um sie dann wieder zu verlieren, irgendwo im Dunkeln eines Ganges, hinter einer Türe, die ich nicht öffnen darf.“ - Annemarie Schwarzenbach, Eine Frau zu sehen . . . . #annemarieschwarzenbach #penelopemortimer #currentlyreading #amreading #bookstagram #readwomen #readwomen2019 #leiamulheres #leituradodia #queerlit #igreads #igbooks #booksofinstagram #nyrbclassics #bookreview #bookblogger #theblankgarden
