Book recommendations based on your favourite authors

1. Oscar Wilde

Edward St Aubyn - Patrick Melrose

If you love Oscar Wilde i would recommend St. Aubyn's amazing novels. They are full of wit, cunning irony, upper - class critisicm and dry humor.

2. William Shakespeare

Margaret Atwood - Hagseed

Part of the "Hogarth Shakespeare Series" this is a brillant retelling of Shakespeares play the tempest.

3. Lewis Carroll

Michael Ende - Momo

Similar to Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, Ende takes us on a young girl's magical journey in which she has to bring back the "stolen time".

4. Stephen King

David Mitchell - Slade House

Stephen King himself recommended this suspensful novel about an abnormal house: “Hard to imagine a more finely wrought and chilling tale of the supernatural. One of the rare great ones.”

5. Suzanne Collins

Koushun Takami - Battle Royale

This book has a very similar storyline to Collins great Hunger Games Saga: a class of junior high school students is taken to a deserted island where they are provided arms and forced to kill one another until only one survivor is left standing.

6. Jane Austen

Goethe - Elective Affinities

A love story just as sharming and complicated as Jane Austen's beloved works: Eduard and his wife Charlotte enjoy a quiet but idle life in their estate, when their piece is fastly thrown into chaos as he invites his friend the Captain and she invites her niece Ottilie to stay with them: a story of forbidden love begins to grow as they both form attraction to their guests.

I find these carrels with views over Bloomsbury completely irresistible. I had a really productive morning here looking through philosophy periodicals (and daydreaming about living in those terraces)

It’s been too long since I featured one of my all time favorite books, #shadowandbone by @lbardugo Have you read the #grishabooks ? Are you looking forward to King of Scars? I can’t wait!

I had a lot of fun creating this snowy flatlay. I realized I hadn’t done any flatlays in a bit. Do you ever get sort of caught in a picture rut? You kind of get stuck taking all the same type of pictures? I do always so I try to keep an inspiration folder of gorgeous pics I come across as well as going through my old pictures from time to time.

“I was burning through books every day - stories about people and places I’d never heard of. They were perhaps the only thing that kept me from teetering into utter despair.” ― Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Mist and Fury

I’m reorganizing one of my bookcases… it’s the best kind of mess.

[literaryhistories]

Exams are approaching again so I guess I should get back to the literature for the Nietzsche and Slovene lit class I succesfully avoided for the entire semester

“The best thing about reading is that it tells me that I’m not alone. Every thought, fear, worry and dream: I know there’ll be a book out there telling me that it’s okay - I have them too.”
