Bedtime Reading

Inspired by @monikozi books shot ( https://365project.org/monikozi/365). When put into practice, it is not easy to shoot books. Giving up, throw back to bed, the penny dropped.

On going readings - The bottom 2 books, serious, need time to digest.

Just Finished - The middle 3, love all, Highly recommend "The bookseller at the end of the world" by New Zealand writer. what an amazing woman.

Just Bought - "Easy Beauty", read the Prologue - The writing is superb! if I have space, I will right 100 "Superb"s

Share your love of non-fiction books, please, I am not a fiction book reader.

Could be a fun on-going project.

Funny I picked up the bookseller book just last week, but I put it back on the pile at the bookshop and told myself I need to stop spending money! Now I wish I hadn't :)
I will add some of yours to my bookclub list :)
I am reading:
Black and Blue: Veronica Gorrie about an Aboringnal women who was a cop for 10 years. Harrowing but very good.
Tough Women Adventure stories: a bunch of women sharing their outdoor adventure stories and what they've learned through them. Some a better then others but very inspiring!

@christinav I think that we might love the same type of books. I can post my copy to you as I have finished it.

[Christina]

@yaorenliu However I do like fiction books too - sometimes I need pure escapism :)

@christinav I got the 'Bookseller at the end of the world' on my kindle. What an interesting/sad in places life she had. Now I want to head off to visit her. I have just finished 'Tess of the D'Urbervilles' as I had never read it - what a sad tale and sign of the way women were treated...
Reading is such a neat thing to do and I love this image.

Wow!!! That's a bunch... I'll have a look about them to see if I might enjoy them.
But you know what impressed me? The connection between you and Christina that springs out from this.
Ps: this is the answer to my question on my photo. 😀

[moni kozi]

I like the way you photographed these books.
Kathy @kjarn stacks them in a pile in her signature (now) shot. I can't do it as I sometimes read on the e.reader. (mainly for space reasons).
So I decided to do collages of the covers.
But I really like this b&w array of scattered books.

[Yao RL]

@dide Me too, next time I am there, I must visit her.

[Yao RL]

@monikozi I am not such a neat person. A pile shows my messiness. I guess. I shall follow you to do the monthly book shot.

[Kathy A]

@yaorenliu generally I'm not a neat person either however I like my books stacked evenly and now I do it every month 😂

[Babs]

An interesting selection of books. I must check out The Bookseller at the end of the World it sounds like a great read.

[Christina]

@dide I've heard of that book - but never read and as a coincidence there was a question on The Chase about this tonight (what was the name of the movie...)

[Yao RL]

@kjarn What a cool idea that you are doing this monthly, I shall do the same thing, At least a record for me to remember what I have read.

[Yao RL]

@christinav @dide I read Tess of the D'Urbervilles when I was a teenager, in Chinese. Spent my entire wage of the month on Classics when China started to sell " the Western" books after the Cultural Revelation. Now I remember that day, I queued over night to make sure I got the books.

[Dianne]

@yaorenliu what an interesting and important memory. Thanks for sharing.

I like your presentation here! And it's fascinating to read responses. I read both fiction and non-fiction. I'm currently reading "A Walk in the Woods" by Bill Bryson about his hiking trip along the Appalachian Trail in the U.S. (It's a little old- he published it in 1998- and it's American based, but nature and humour are universal)
