July is here #AuthorAMonth readers! It‘s time to try a classic with Virginia Woolf. I‘m going with one of her short books on Serial Reader. What do you plan to read?

#AuthorAMonth is a no pressure challenge to honor Litsy nominated and voted upon authors. There are several prizes at the end of the year. Track your reading and see the rules on the google sheet linked below.

As always let me know if you‘d like to be added or taken off the list.📚

willaful I've never had any luck reading Woolf. What would people say is her most accessible book? 3d
AmyG I am going to pass this month as I will be on vacation. 3d
vonnie862 I've never read her before. I wonder which book to choose. 3d
AllDebooks @willaful @vonnie862 I would suggest one of he early novels The Voyage Out or Night and Day or a short story collection. 3d
MemoirsForMe I‘ll be joining the party and reading To the Lighthouse. Maybe even 3d
MemoirsForMe @AmyG Happy Vacationing! ❤️🎉🏖️ 3d
CatLass007 Orlando, Mrs. Dalloway, and A Writer‘s Diary are free on Audible. Orlando and Mrs. Dalloway are my priorities, and I might at least begin A Writer‘s Diary. 3d
tpixie It‘s only 12 issues on Serial Reader (edited) 3d
vlwelser I have an old copy of this that has been hiding in my secret TBR cupboard. 2d
AmyG @MemoirsForMe Thank You! 2d
Melismatic Giving Serial Reader a try! Thanks for the suggestion! Starting with Monday or Tuesday and then perhaps tackling Mrs Dalloway 2d
tpixie I‘ve been hoping to do a mini immersion with Virginia Woolf. So hopefully I can take advantage of this month and do it! 2d

#VirginiaBloomsberries

I really enjoyed this glimpse into the rural life of VW and her fellow authors.

🌿 What did you think of the biography?

🌿 Did the accounts of VW's contemporaries, Townsend-Warner & Lehmann, help give context into her world?

All welcome to join in. Please let me know if you wish to be added/removed from the taglist.

TheBookHippie I like rounding her out so to speak with all the differing books and letters and witnesses to her life. Give context to a complex person I think. 6d

AllDebooks @TheBookHippie I thought so. I'm glad you thought the same. I was worried about adding this to the buddy read list as only a third of it is about VW. However, I'm glad I did as it was quite a different pov of her. 6d
TheBookHippie @AllDebooks I think so too. I enjoyed it quite a bit. It‘s good to see all sides I think. 6d
PurpleyPumpkin I had a bit trouble getting my hands on this book. But I was able to order a copy from Britain and just received it! I will read it shortly and then circle back to your questions. I‘m looking forward to this one! 6d

#VirginiaBloomsberries

Our July #BuddyRead is VW‘s 1927 novel, To the Lighthouse. We meet the Ramsey family at their summer retreat in the Hebridean isles over a ten year period.
Critics have claimed its themes to be about art, WW1, time, family and connection. My experiences of reading VW, so far, lead me to expect a highly skilled novel accumulating all the above themes in a most concise way. I can‘t wait.

How lovely! 😍 A treat for my fellow #VirginiaBloomsberries

A new story from Deborah Levy, drawing inspiration from Virginia Woolf's Mrs Dalloway.
