In today's edition of the book I didn't buy... couldn't justify spending $75 on this pretty.

TheBookHippie Ohhh pretty!!!! I agree. Too pricey ! 5y
LeahBergen Oh, that cover! 😍😍😍 5y
writerlibrarian Pretty but too rich for my blood. Still, very pretty. 5y

I often have trouble posting to Litsy via the desktop version. Which is a shame because I type so much faster on my PC! So my review is lost. Suffice to say: This book bores me. I‘m ashamed I don‘t have patience sometimes for the great works.

mrozzz I also have a hard time reading Woolf 🤭 5y
Brooke_H @mrozzz I‘ve enjoyed her fiction. But it‘s been many years since I‘ve read her. Who knows if I‘d enjoy it now? 🤷‍♀️ 5y

@ju.ca.no so I hurried up last night and sorted the books. This is my little stack. 🤗 As you see mostly classics and some Folios. 😊

Louise How wonderful! 😍📚 6y

Sarah83 @julesG Well, it wasn't as little as it seemed. It was a banana box. 🙈 Did you see the other picture? There were 38 books in the box. 6y
julesG @Sarah83 A banana box is small. You should have taken the box my armchair arrived in. 😝 6y
Sarah83 @julesG indeed a box for this chair is much bigger. 😊😍 But I wanted only some books. Even though I would like to have a chair like yours. 🤗 6y
julesG I suppose Ikea is open again on Wednesday. 😉 6y
Sarah83 @julesG 😂😂😂 I don't have enough space for it. Unfortunately. 6y
rubyslippersreads These are gorgeous! 😍😍😍 And I also have the problem of no space for more bookshelves. 😊 6y
ju.ca.no Awesome 😍 6y
julesG But you've room for books?! A reading chair is just as essential. 6y
Sarah83 @julesG I read in bed or sit on the couch. 😊 6y
Sarah83 @ju.ca.no @rubyslippersreads thank you so much 😍 6y
quirkyreader I saw you previous picture and I think it's super cool that you found the 1978 Penguin catalogue. I wonder how many of those titles are out of print. And may your #folio addiction keep on growing. 6y
Sarah83 @quirkyreader the penguin catalogue was a gift by the shop owner. 😊 Thank you. Indeed I need more space for my Folios. 😊 6y
LeahBergen Great haul! 👏🏻👏🏻 6y
Sarah83 @LeahBergen thank you 😊 6y

Part 3 of my book show score. The was the best score of all. A Penguin and Pelican of Woolf's writing.

Also, the lovely people over at #persephonebooks are trying to collect all of the Penguin Poetry collection. I was even looking for them to help out the collection. Let's see what everyone on Litsy can find for them. Their website is www.persephonebooks.co.uk

Y'all! We're less than 12 hours from the official start of #24in48! We're mostly ready & slightly frenzied behind the scenes; our last-minute prep includes selecting & packing a bookish wardrobe before decamping to readathon HQ! Anyone out there got some fully bookified outfits planned??

Eryn2513 I didn't... but what a great idea! I will relax in my Gatsby sweater :-) 7y
balletbookworm My @bookriot Reading Trumps Ignorance shirt is out for delivery. 11/10 will wear tomorrow 7y
LibrarianRyan She read is coming out of the closet. And maybe the broken tv reading a book as well (edited) 7y

charminggoats I'll be wearing some of my @thehpalliance shirts! 7y
monkeygirlsmama I have 1 bookish shirt- count them, 1. It's a Doctor Who/Alice in Wonderland mash up tee. I wore it today and it's now in the dirty laundry. Bloody hot and humid here. 7y
UwannaPublishme Just my Read Harder tshirt and my glasses. 🤓👌🏻I need more bookish clothes! 7y

Didn't make it to the library today because I was too busy filling my new bookshelves. Oops! So here's my personal version of #librarylove. Although I do love my local library, I've never had a set of bookshelves of my own before, so I'm a little overcome with excitement. #septphotochallenge #somethingforsept

Josie They look great!!!! 8y
BooksForEmpathy Oooooh! I just love all the different sized shelves. That's so fun! 8y

There is a sadness at the back of life which [the Greeks] do not attempt to mitigate. Entirely aware of their own standing in the shadow, and yet alive to every tremor and glean of existence, there they endure.
