The Invisible Life of Addie La Rue

An interesting fable about an eighteenth century woman selling her soul for more life and freedom. She gets what she wants but at a cost - she never dies but no one ever remembers her. Interesting take on how you'd live if you had all the time in the world or hardly any at all.

Was so exhausted yesterday that I fell easily into a deep sleep. Unfortunately, we were both bolt upright at 2.30 hearing a crash. My mum had broken her water glass while going to the loo. So another disturbed night.

Lay in bed for a while with a headache and only got up for a nice halloumi brunch and to do photo book work and catalogue my bookmarks. Such fun. Dank day. Also arranged for roofer to start next week.

I loved this book… I read it in October of 2020.

You catalogue your bookmarks?
January 23rd, 2025  
@kjarn I am now. I've got 100s of them....

I know you've got a lot but what is the purpose of cataloguing them?
January 23rd, 2025  
@kjarn so I can find the perfect bookmark for the book I'm reading! I'm giving them keywords eg this one I might give keywords of France (it's from the Musee d'Orsay), time etc

Fair enough. I do like this one and am always impressed at how you match up your bookmarks to your books.

@kjarn it's been getting harder as I've got so many!

I’m impressed! I regularly wear odd socks so I don’t have to spend time matching them!
