She had once been a Catholic, but discovering that priests were infinitely more attentive when she was in process of losing or regaining faith in Mother Church, she maintained an enchantingly wavering attitude.

Hoping July is a better month than June for my #Bookspin #Doublespin #BookspinBingo.
I am super excited to start #192025 - so that should help.

Amory Blaine inherited from his mother every trait, except the stray inexpressible few, that made him worth while.

pickI wonder how much the author was writing about his own experiences?
The book examines the lives and morality of post–World War I youth. Its protagonist Amory Blaine is an attractive student at Princeton University who dabbles in literature.

Starting a new book!
Zach asked me yesterday how I can continuously read business type books - I break them up with fiction or something that‘s different and gives me a break.

March 26,1920 The publication of F.Scott Fitzgerald‘s first novel was yesterday a hundred years ago?😱
Note the price ,$1.75 This is a Scribner ad that is in one of my favorite books about the Fitzgeralds , a large trim size book that reproduces the family scrapbooks ,The Romantic Egotists.from 1974.Oh yeah, Zelda probably would have dumped him if this book didn‘t come out when it did.
pickI enjoyed reading F. Scott Fitzgerald's first novel, a story about Amory Blane, a young college graduate trying to find his way in post-World War I life.

I love it when one of my favorite books is referenced in another book!
Finally starting this one- it's been on my bookshelf for a long time. #coffeeandabook #ReadingThroughTheYears192021 #1920
Look I know this book is 100 years old but I can‘t help but imagine Alec saying this in a Steve Martin voice
pickMy first F. Scott Fitzgerald book. I got this book from the Christmas book exchange from the #bookclub @MrBook and @BookBabe wonderfully run. A very well-written book! Truly, one of the most well-written books I have ever read. The development of Amory Blaine was wonderful to follow. I loved and underlined many quotes. This book will surely stay with me.
pickThis semi-autobiographical novel, Fitzgerald‘s debut, follows the life and many loves of Princeton student Amory Blaine as he drifts from romantic idealism and self-absorption into a more disillusioned adulthood. With its rhythmic prose and themes of materialism in post WW1 modern society, Fitzgerald captures the Jazz Age in a novel.

pick⭐️⭐️⭐️ Not my favorite Fitz book. The plot is choppy and I didn‘t enjoy the poetry throughout. Definitely room for improvement and I‘m glad he kept after it.

Shout-out to Standard Ebooks for their beautifully formatted free books
It was on this date in 1920 that THIS SIDE OF PARADISE sold out — three days after it was published. I own three copies, including this great, pulp paperback.

A stack of #yellow books for today! 😍 All read.

Beautiful words for today‘s Powerful Women 😊
I am in the WORST reading slump, but the Belletrist weekly quote always gives me a boost. Do any of you subscribe to any celebrity led book clubs?
Happy Birthday Jessica @TheWordJar
I‘ll be joining you in a few short weeks. I guess my advice to myself is, age is just a number. I feel good about where I am and who I am. I‘m ready for this.

“Amory was proportionately less deceived. He waited for the mask to drop off, but at the same time he did not question her right to wear it.”

New #SerialReader badge. Yippee 😁
We shouldn‘t judge a book by its cover but I sure judge the covers of books!
Post one of your favorite covers.
I'm not sentimental--I'm as romantic as you are. The idea, you know, is that the sentimental person thinks things will last--the romantic person has a desperate confidence that they won't.

One read, one TBR. Anyone a fan of the tagged book?
