so-soIt's a bittersweet tale of love and loss. Written as a memoir of the time husband Shen spent with his wife Yün before she passed away and set in China around 1770 and 1805(ish). Their love was tragic and romantic. Not my usual read, and dry in parts, but I quite enjoyed reading it. Not something I think I'd ever want to reread though 🤔

pickMy first batch of #littleblackclassics
It was snowing butterflies by Charles Darwin (#67): Interesting at some parts, but boring and confusing at others. ⭐️⭐️
On Murder Considered as One of the Fine Arts by Thomas de Quincey (#4): Very funny satirical essay on murder, makes good points relevant even in today‘s society. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Antigone by Sophocles (#55): Super impressed by this play. Very captivating and engaging. A delightful story. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is in part a bookshelf update, but also to show you what just came in the mail today. So thrilled to have gotten Penguin‘s #littleblackclassics set! It‘s lovely and I cannot wait to dive right in. I usually don‘t splurge, but I can‘t pass up on a great offer. Plus, don‘t they just look lovely to look at? 💘
