Art in Nature | Tove Jansson

I'm so sorry to clutter your feed with a picture of a lemon ?, but I couldn't resist buying this amazing fruit, it looked so tempting! Now, to justify buying it, I'm making a White Lady cocktail ?, and to justify posting about it, I'm going to read the story in which I first came across the drink, Tove Jansson's eponymous "White Lady" from the tagged story collection ???

TieDyeDude I'm glad you got that all sorted BEFORE you started drinking 😅 7mo

Bookwomble @Deblovestoread @UwannaPublishme @dabbe Cheers 🥂😊 7mo

Bookwomble @TieDyeDude I genuinely fell in love with that lemon first then had to think of something to do with it 😄 It's an Italian Amalfi lemon, and a tad more expensive than your common lemon, so a bit of a treat, but it sure did taste good, even before I added it to gin! 7mo

batsy Never apologise for lovely photos! It's like a still life painting featuring lemon 😁🍋 7mo

Anna40 😆 I like the lemon too. It‘s gray here in the north of Michigan so sunny yellow is nice 😉 7mo

marleed Lovely pic! 7mo

Cathythoughts That‘s a great photo 💛 7mo

Bookwomble @batsy @Anna40 @marleed @Cathythoughts Thank you all for the Lemon Love 🍋💛🍋 I feel validated 😄 7mo

The Man Who Fell to Earth | Walter Tevis

This is the MC's drink of choice: straight gin with *loads* of angostura bitters! 🍸
What to call it? The Thomas Jerome Newton? An Anthean Martini?
I cannot drink it in the volumes that Newton does, and it won't be a regular feature on the drinks trolley, but it does taste medicinal, so perhaps if I need a bracing pick-me-up?

Ruthiella Cheers! 🥂 But I‘m with Dr. Bryce. I don‘t like the taste of gin. 8mo

Bookwomble @Ruthiella Cheers! 🥂😊 Despite being a whisky and soda man, he still managed to put quite a lot of gin away when he had to! 😄 8mo

batsy Am quite partial to gin, I must admit. Especially if it's the Botanist 😆🥂 8mo

Bookwomble @batsy 🥂 Tommy would drink to that! 8mo

kwmg40 I'll have to try an “Anthean Martini“ sometime! 😄 8mo

Bookwomble @kwmg40 I managed to get it down, but it definitely tasted like a drink the bartender didn't finish making! 8mo

The Silmarillion | J.R.R. Tolkien

There are so many parts of The Silmarillion that I truly enjoy when rereading, but this has got to by my favorite story. I love Luthien‘s strength and dedication, and Huan is another amazing character. I read a few pages last night and then listened to all of it today.

Ruthiella I was wondering where you got your dog‘s name! 8mo

Daisey @Ruthiella Glad you saw this one to figure it out! My vet has given up on knowing where my pet names come from but has learned it usually is book related. 8mo

The Adventures of Tom Bombadil | J.R.R. Tolkien

All right, nerds, let's do this!

When I first read LOTR (so many years ago now, good Lord!), I didn't get Tom Bombadil- who was he? Why the heck was this twee little thing intruding on what I thought would be a cool, dark adventure story? I have to say I've never quite warmed to Tom over the years, but here's hoping that this re-read of his adventures shows me something new! #FellowshipOfTolkien #TolkienBirthdayToast

emz711 I love that! 11mo

JazzFeathers Tom Bombadil is really such an elusive character. Took me several reread to become fascinate with him. 11mo

JazzFeathers And what's that book about the Inkling? 🤩 11mo

Andrea313 @JazzFeathers I've had it several years and am finally getting around to reading it! Find it here:

Fellowship: The Literary Lives of the Inklings: J.R.R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, Owen Barfield, Charles Williams

11mo

JazzFeathers @Andrea313 Is it goo? I'd love to read something about the Inklings. This isn't the one by Carpenter, is it? I do have that one, but I haven't read it yet. 11mo

Andrea313 @JazzFeathers This one is by Phillip and Carol Zeleski. I like it so far! If you've read a lot about the Inklings, it could be redundant info, but so far I'm enjoying it. 11mo

The Novel Cure: An A to Z of Literary Remedies | Ella Berthoud, Susan Elderkin

I love when it's finally time to open up that book that's been sitting on your shelf for years! I don't know how or why the "right" time presents itself, but who am I to question it? Digging into this title with some brandy-spiked eggnog. Bibliotherapy indeed! #CurrentlyReading #BooksAndBooze #bibliotherapy

LeahBergen I‘m so much like that as to which book “falls” off my shelves into my hands. 👍 11mo
