Read & listened to for #AuthorAMonth November #JoanDidion I meant to read more Joan Didion this month rather than rereading this one, read years ago, but I didn‘t get around to it. I went between my e-book & audiobook read (excellently) by Vanessa Redgrave. This book was illuminating to me when I was dealing with my own grief from my mom‘s passing & I think Didion captures the feeling well, both the large & ⬇️
After Dark - Haruki Murakami: Eyes mark the shape of the city.
Bunny - Mona Awad: We call them Bunnies because that is what they call each other. Seriously. Bunny.
Dance, dance, dance - Haruki Murakami: I often dream about the Dolphin Hotel.
Dare me - Megan Abbott: “Something happened, Addy. I think you better come.“
Play it as it lays - Joan Didion: What makes Iago evil? some people ask. I never ask.
pickI‘ve read this book no less than a dozen times — a few years ago, a friend gave me this beautiful first edition for my birthday #didion #joandidion #playitasitlays #LA
My first Didion book, about the passing of her husband John Dunne. I had just lost my own husband. It was an impressive book, so I read several more of her books

#WeRemember Day 14: #JoanDidion‘s book is one of the few I hand-carried with me when my family and I moved from Singapore here to the UAE nearly 3 years ago. Here are the other titles I hand-carried with me along with photos of the 20-foot container holding all our belongings: https://wp.me/pDlzr-kTV
pickI read this over the Summer and its such a beautiful volume of Didion's work. I enjoyed having it all collected like this and experiencing the full sprectrum of her work throughout these decades. Definitely recommend this one!
