The Claudine Novels

Saw this last night - a beautiful film. I‘ve never read Colette (for shame!), but that will soon be remedied! Any suggestions where I should start?

batsy I love the tagged collected edition and want to read Cheri :) 6y

ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled @batsy I think I‘ll probably start with Claudine! 6y

LeslieO I also liked the bio by Judith Thurman 6y

I‘m seeing it even though I have mixed feelings about it. Colette= 🇫🇷 . Anna Karenina= 🇷🇺.

The Claudine Novels | Colette

@Bertha_Mason has reminded me about Colette! Claudine is definitely #NoOnesLittleGirl. Not sure how to describe these books... Let's just say they're a charming mix of angst, romance, lust, and existentialism.

Cathythoughts Sounds very interesting indeed. ❤️ 7y

LauraBeth That‘s a great description! 7y

RohitSawant Intriguing! And awesome pic! 7y

erzascarletbookgasm Great pic! I must look up this book and this author! 7y

Tanisha_A Love the cover! I want a hat like that! 👒 7y

saresmoore Thank you for reminding me to read Colette! I think we could compile an excellent reading list from #fiercefeb posts alone. You & @vivastory & @Billypar, especially, have added to my TBR! 📚 7y

ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled Have always meant to read Colette! Thanks for the inspiration! 7y

batsy @Cathythoughts @LauraBeth @rohit-sawant @erzascarletbookgasm Thank you :) 7y

batsy @Tanisha_A It's great, isn't it! I love the idea of hats but it's for other people. If I wore one I'd probably find myself tangled up in the branches of a tree or something 🤣 7y

batsy @ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled @saresmoore She's very interesting as a writer and her own life reads like a very gripping novel!

Secrets of the Flesh: A Life of Colette

batsy @saresmoore So happy to hear that, everyone's just been sharing some wonderful books this month 💜 7y

Mdargusch Great cover and great photo! 7y

batsy @Mdargusch Thank you! 7y

readordierachel Lovely photo! And you had me at "angst, romance, lust, and existensialism" :) 7y

batsy @ReadOrDieRachel Thank you! My job here is done 😁 7y

Tanisha_A @batsy 😂 That made me laugh off my chair. Next time I go shopping, I will look up a hat for you sized well that it doesn't get you tangled up in branches of a tree! 😁 7y

rubyslippersreads @saresmoore @ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled I can't believe I've never read any Colette either. (edited) 7y

LeahBergen I love, love, LOVE Colette. My fave (so far) is Cheri and The Last of Cheri. @saresmoore @rubyslippersreads @erzascarletbookgasm @ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled

Cheri and The Last of Cheri

It's #Recommendsday! "Finished The Queen of the Night? Want more daring 19th century French women (who doesn't)? Here‘s a 4-books-in-1 #Recommendsday pick for you! I grew up watching Gigi not realizing it‘s based on a book written by Colette. While the Claudine books are less lighthearted than Gigi, they‘re so wonderfully dramatic and scandalous! And Claudine has an irreverent, witty voice I find irresistible in narrators." - @szainabwilliams

Reviewsbylola I've always wanted to read Colette but haven't yet! 8y

Morphidae This app makes it very difficult to learn. What do the various icons do? How do you send a message to someone privately? How do you set up your home page? How do you search through a hashtag sort? For instance, I want to search through the #hpchapteraday for "challenge". At the very least, there needs to be a place to ask these questions. There isn't even a #helplitsy or #litsyhelp.

youngreadrshelf How can I contact someone at litsy with a suggestion for the app? 8y

8leagueboot Yes, heap on the Colette love! She was such a fascinating woman. 7y

blanketandcocoa Is Litsy gone? Why have there been no posts for 9 months now? 7y
