❤️ this.

“And as I surveyed the clutter of his study I was pleased to see that he was a man after my own heart. All of his money appeared to have been spent on either books or shelves to hold them.” Ross King, Ex-Libris.

Drawing of Scottish writer, teacher, artist, poet, Alasdair Gray, working at his desk with his books and paintings. Art by Wil Freeborn Illustration.

ValerieAndBooks @zsuzsanna_reads this will be my third Spark book and I'm really looking forward to it, as well as the Saki 👍 7y
ValerieAndBooks @LeahBergen I'm really curious about Ex-Libris, as I've read a few of Ross King's non-fiction books on art. And then maybe I'll put it next to Fadiman's Ex-Libris 🤗 7y
ValerieAndBooks @KarenUK do you have a favorite Muriel Spark? I've read The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, and Driver's Seat, and looking forward to reading more by her! 7y
ValerieAndBooks @ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled This will be my first Christopher Moore! Curious whether his humor will be my type! 7y
KarenUK @ValerieAndBooks I've read those too, but the one you picked up is a favorite! Hope you enjoy it 😊 7y
ValerieAndBooks @Kammbia1 The Storied Life of AJ Fikry was #becauseofLitsy. So many people here seem to have liked it; good to know you did too! 7y

#Libraryhaul! Yeah, I have a dozen books at home already, but I'm greedy and I hoard whichever books strike my fancy and are available 😜😆. A London bookseller & #antiquarian tasked with restoring a library in 17th-Century Prague Castle. Add some city sacking, Sir Walter Raleigh, religious persecutions, and mysterious horsemen. In the iconic words of Robert Palmer: simply irresistible 😎👌🏻! #LitsyLovesLibraries

CocoReads That sounds amazing! 7y
Imagineannie Oh! Yes, please!! 7y
