So it's as if,' I say, 'I'm okay in my own bones, but I know that my bones aren't living up to other people's version of what a life should be, and I feel a little crushed by that, to be honest, a little confused as to how to align the two things: to be an acceptable member of society but to be able to be my own bones both at once.” ― Sara Baume, A Line Made by Walking ✨ Lately I’ve been reading A Line Made by Walking and it is such a wonderful book 💛 A story woven around art, the Irish countryside, and animals as it describes the life of a young woman struggling with depression and trying to come to terms with the complexities of adult life.
The shelves I always seek in a bookstore ⚡️
happy weekend ☕️
"It is difficult for a woman to define her feelings in language which is chiefly made by men to express theirs.” 🐝 Far from the Madding Crowd is such a beautiful love story with a rural setting. There are a multitude of different characters, from utter idiots to perfect sweethearts. I loved Bathsheba and her unwillingness to conform to the traditional role of women in society (although there were multiple instances where I wanted to give her a shake for her awful decisions!). The writing took me a while to get used to, probably because it is quite dense and long-winded at times, but I thoroughly enjoyed the descriptions of the Wessex countryside and the hilarious banter between the characters.
““Once, in my father’s bookshop, I heard a regular customer say that few things leave a deeper mark on a reader than the first book that finds its way into his heart. Those first images, the echo of words we think we have left behind, accompany us throughout our lives and sculpt a palace in our memory to which, sooner or later—no matter how many books we read, how many worlds we discover, or how much we learn or forget—we will return.” - The Shadow of the Wind
Where I wish I could be on a Friday afternoon 💛
