The Complete Stories of Leonora Carrington | 
Post op recovery. Lots of time, well a few weeks, to catch up with my TBR collection:)
After searching through the Vermont library system, look what my librarian finally found for me!!!

Coming back to reading after a long depression, to find dis book on scribd, a lovely surrealist fondue!
I picked this book up during a visit to Asheville. It‘s very strange and very much my type of book. I‘d never heard of Carrington before, and I feel like I should have.
pickToday‘s staff pick is 'The Complete Stories of Leonora Carrington,' selected by Rare Book Room manager, Jane. "Talking animals, witches, murder, debutantes, bestiality. One of these subjects alone is enough for a novel but you will find all these things in Leonora Carrington's absurd and sometimes hilarious surrealist stories. Check it out if you want strange dreams." Find it on our Small Press table! #staffpickfriday
Due to extenuating circumstances, I made the executive decision to lift my self-imposed book buying ban. I made it five months! This was my selection from Malaprop‘s—I REALLY had to narrow it down, but I‘m happy about all of them. Now excuse me while I read & write my way through the rain!
#ReadingResolutions Day 12: My #BookStack from my recent Book Depository haul. Soooo many books, too little time.
#ReadingResolutions Day 2: My #ThreeStack from BookDep that I wish to get into, like, now?? Our house is starting to look less like a warehouse - more like a home slowly each day - but my books are still in the process of being shelved, which takes up practically all my waking hours - so, apologies Litsy tribe if I haven‘t been commenting or responding to your posts lately. Barely have time to breathe.
#QuotsyFeb18: Day 19 - #Dawn is my favourite time of the day, if I get to wake up for it, that is. I super love my sleep too much. I have been meaning to read Leonora Carrington for awhile now - anyone who has read her stories yet? How‘d you find her?
pickIn addition to being a short story writer, Leonora Carrington was a surrealist painter. So her stories are like if you took a Salvador Dali painting and tried to make sense of the weirdness.
They‘re like strange, delightful, disturbing fairy tales. It‘s hard to describe, so you‘ll just have to take my word for it. 😘
I got a couple new books! I'm really excited to read Leonora Carrington's writing because I love her paintings. I learned about her work in my History of Women Artists class in college.

A little surrealism on a Saturday afternoon.
Evening reading. 🖤
