If you're looking for a #Christmas gift for anyone interested in #art, may I suggest THUNDERCLAP by @lauracummingart.bsky.social. This mesmerising, beautifully written book weaves together elements of memoir & art appreciation in the most beguiling way! 💙📚 jacquiwine.wordpress.com/2024/01/23/t...

I'll need to finally read the novel. And the older movie is supposed to be great. youtu.be/k0DS9ERfLjk?...

New on the blog today, my thoughts on FRAUD by Anita Brookner. Every time I read one of Brookner’s novels, it feels like a new favourite, and FRAUD is no exception to the rule. If you like Elizabeth Taylor, Edith Wharton & Henry James, you'll love this! 💙📚 jacquiwine.wordpress.com/2024/11/17/f...

Some good book mail.

A little book mail

Professor's House. A surprising blend of Stoner and Butcher's Crossing, with a helping of Cesar Aira's Landscape Painter in the end that made it all work.

Love these little Byatt hardcovers

Revisiting Ripley before the new series premieres

Curious why Rebecca West's Saga of the Century trilogy isn't seen much beyond The Fountain Overflows. I want matching editions!

I wish there were more of these Byatt editions.

Another year done on this planet 🧁

Is 2024 the year I read Dance to the Music of Time?

Dreaming of her again (Proust Allen Lane box set)

Hurricane Season was one of my favorite books of the year. Do I dare see what Netflix did to it

Happy birthday PG Wodehouse

Will probably try to get Musashi in by year's end.

Marcel Proust playing air guitar on a tennis racket appreciation moment

Reading in anticipation of the movie.

Disappointed with some new stuff, so I'm dipping into the old reserves

New on the blog today, I've written about some of my favourite literary monsters. Featuring books by Olivia Manning. Elizabeth Taylor, Celia Dale, Anthony Powell and more! jacquiwine.wordpress.com/2023/09/28/m...

My style in One Book One Film One Painting One Album

I'm gonna have to double up on some Natalia Ginzburg and get these Daunt editions.

Introduce yourself with 3 books you love: 1) The Portrait of a Lady - Henry James 2) Joy in the Morning - PG Wodehouse 3) Possession - AS Byatt

Maybe my 4 favorite reads so far this year.
