I‘ll be honest, I have no idea what I read - I just know Woolf‘s style isn‘t for me. So much double speak and description of minutiae for no real reason. Only one of the stories in this collection was enjoyable to me…but even then its point felt confused. #AuthorAMonth

Monday Or Tuesday | Virginia Woolf

bailed

I tried Virginia Woolf for the first time and she is definitely not for me. I hope other #AuthorAMonth readers have better luck!

TheBookHippie 🙃 I adore her. Sorry it didn‘t work for you. 5d

Soubhiville @TheBookHippie It‘s ok! I‘ve found so many other authors through #AAM, there‘s bound to be one that misses every once in a while. 📚🙂 (edited) 5d

Sace I feel better seeing this. I‘ve spent today debating whether to bail or not. I might give her one more day, but I‘ve been struggling with her. 5d

ChaoticMissAdventures I liked her Mrs Dalloway, but her racism has always been an issue with me and I have struggled to get into any others. 5d

Soubhiville @Sace I felt like the language was too dense. I was trying so hard to understand what she meant that it wasn‘t enjoyable at all. Did people ever talk like this or was she trying to make her works somewhat inaccessible? I‘d love to hear theories. 5d

AmyG Yeah, I read one of her books, forgot which one, but she is not for me either. 5d

Gissy I think the same. I will try some books I own but I don‘t feel that passion for her writing style as other people do🤷🏽‍♀️There are authors and writing style for every reader🙌📚 3d

Rural Hours: The Country Lives of Virginia Woolf, Sylvia Townsend Warner and Rosamond Lehmann | Harriet Baker

#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?

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. 2w

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. 2w

TheBookHippie @AllDebooks I think so too. I enjoyed it quite a bit. It‘s good to see all sides I think. 2w

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! 2w

Kew Gardens | Virginia Woolf

pick

This was a quiet short story told from the viewpoint of a snail. Admittedly, I read it to bump up my “books read“ count for the year. But I enjoyed it. And it makes me to want to pick up another of hers. I've been contemplating a re-read of Mrs. Dalloway. Perhaps now is the time.

📸 I've never been to Kew Gardens but it looks inviting.
