Missing my neighborhood library, so here is a shoutout to our wonderful libraries as suggested by @where.the.books.go Mine is perched at water's edge, constructed of timber, with a small park and playground on the other side. It has amazing facilities, a great cafe with magazines galore, and of course an extensive collection of books. Hope to see you soon, Library at the Dock in the City of Melbourne. #libraries #librarylove #libraryatthedock #cityofmelbourne #citylife #aussiereaders #aussiewriters #writersofinstagram #bibliophile #booknerd #bookstagram #bookish #books #igbooks
REVIEW** I thoroughly enjoyed reading this modern classic from Hungary. The central mystery was tantalising, keeping me guessing until the end. The characters were all intriguing, albeit often contrary. Set in the post WWII years, essentially it is a portrait of the tumultuous relationship between Magda, a young writer, and the eccentric ageing woman she engages as a housekeeper. Athough often kind and generous, Emerence has only ever lived by her own rules. And as the story progresses we discover just how strange some of those rules may be. Beautifully written, with an expert handling of pace, The Door was a wonderful introduction to Hungarian literature. I look forward to reading more. #thedoor #hungarianliterature #magdaszabo #historicalfiction #nowreading #bookreview #bookstagram #bookish #books #igbooks #readersofinstagram #hungary #classicfiction #vintageclassics
Rose Tremain is another favourite author whose books I have collected over the years. Sadly, I am missing what may be her most famous work, 'Restoration' although I have certainly read it. Might have to rectify that. Tremain knows how to tread the line between historical atmosphere and storytelling in her historical fiction. And I love her sense of irony and humour in the two Merivel books. Her contemporary fiction is a joy too. Have you read any of Tremain's books? #historicalfiction #favouritereads #favouriteauthors #rosetremain #merivel #thecolour #musicandsilence #evangelistasfan #theroadhome #bookstagram #bookish #books #igbooks #readersofinstagram
#librariesoftheworld Stuck inside for the duration I am thinking of past travels. Here is a photo of the magnificent Nanjing Library, third largest in China, and too big to fit in this picture. What are some special libraries you have visited in your travels? Perhaps you might post a pic so we can live vicariously. Hoping our libraries, our cities and our borders reopen soon. #librariesoftheworld #libraries #bookstagram #bookish #books #igbooks #booklover #readersofinstagram #writersofinstagram
About to begin reading Leah Purcell's The Drover's Wife, 'a brave reimagining of the Henry Lawson short story that has become an Australian classic... a compelling thriller of our pioneering past'. What are you looking forward to reading in these troubled times? #tbr #nowreading #newbooks #newfiction #australianfiction #australianhistory #historicalfiction #aussiewriters #writersofinstagram #bibliophile #booknerd #thedroverswife #leahpurcell #bookstagram #bookish #bookstack
I was searching my shelves for a possible colour-themed flatlay of green covers when I realised how many Anita Shreve books I had. Plus I think I've read another one or two from the library. Her talent as a writer, like the number of her books on my shelves, kind of sneaks up on you. Sadly, there will be no further books from Ms Shreve as she died in 2018. Her books, whatever their plots or themes, however thrilling their mysteries, are always centred on the intricacies of relationships, especially those between men and women. Books to be taken away by. And as a bonus they often have beautifully moody covers. Do you have a favourite Anita Shreve novel? I think mine is probably The Weight of Water as I love the historical mystery. Fortunes Rocks is also a favourite. #anitashreve #bookflatlay #theweightofwater #favouritereads #favouriteauthors #bookstagram #bookish #books #igbooks #historicalfiction #bibliophile #booknerd
