Hello readers! I've realised I don't read much non fic mostly because my wishlist is neverending so I end up buying what is on that. But I have decided to step up my non fic game so I tried with this interesting biography of Anne Brontë, the Brontë I knew less about. I was really glad to learn more about the sister hiding in the shadows. What I truly appreciated was the author's parallel journey in discovering a kindred spirit in the sometimes forgotten Brontë. Definitely recommended! - - 🇮🇹 Visto che tendo a leggere principalmente fiction ho deciso di provare nuovi generi e ignorare la mia wishlist. Quindi ho letto questa biografia di Anne Brontë, la Brontë su cui devo ammetterlo conoscevo meno. Mi sono davvero divertita a scoprire di piú sulla donna nascosta all'ombra delle sue sorelle piú famose. Il libro è anche il viaggo dell'autrice nel trovare uno spirito affine nella Brontë spesso dimenticata. Decisamente consigliato! #books #instabooks #bookstagram #bookphotography #bookoftheday #bookish #bibliophile #booklover #libro #lettura #Brontë #biography #recommended

🇬🇧 Hello! Rainy Wednesday today. I am doing my very first booktag thanks to @_tessas_books_ which is the #openbooktag . I wasn't sure what to choose but this morning I was listening to Nina Simone and I was inspired by her music so I decided to maker her the protagonist of this tag. The book in question is Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls (and I can't wait for the sequel of course! #rebelgirls fight on). - - 🇮🇹 Salve! In un mercoledí piovoso ho deciso di rispondere al mio primo booktag ovvero #openbooktag . Non ero sicura quale libro scegliere ma stamattina ascoltando Nina Simone ho deciso di eleggerla a protagonista della foto. Il libro è Storie della Buonanotte per Ragazze Ribelli (non vedo l'ora che esca il sequel!!). The tag is open for everyone! Chiunque è libero di rispondere al tag! #books #instabooks #bookstagram #bookphotography #bibliophile #bookish #booklover #libro #lettura #ninasimone #bookoftheday #bookworm #booktag

Hello and good evening! I've come to realise that I have yet to feature Zadie Smith on my feed. SHAME SHAME SHAME (GoT style). Anyway here Zadie's latest work that I read a while ago when it was still in hardback. I really enjoyed it but when I don't like a Zadie Smith? However, I don't think it's her best ever. Swing Time it's the story of two biracial girls in London who meet at dance class. Only one though manages to become a successful dancer. Growing up the two become estranged but their friendship leaves a sign that can never be forgotten by neither of the two women. The writing is witty and refreshing even if the narrator is not a very likeable person. For me this is not actually a big issue because I love characters that I cam hate...is it relatable? 😁 The big problem for me is that this quite long book tries to deal with too many different topics (gender, race, dance, music, personal growth, family...) leaving them unfinished and consequently a little bit shallow for the reader. I admire what she attempts to do, I am not too sure Zadie managed to get the best results. Still a 4/5 🌟 What do you think about it? And side appreciation of my old tapes and my fabulous cds. Any Green Day and Keane fan? #books #instabooks #bookstagram #bookphotography #bookoftheday #bookish #bibliophile #booklover #zadiesmith #swingtimes #libro #leggere #dance #music #greenday #keane #oldtape

🇮🇹 Non vedo l'ora di iniziare questo piccolo gioiellino. Dazai Osamu è uno dei miei scrittori giapponesi preferiti anche se non é molto conosciuto al grande pubblico. In questa opera riscrive racconti classici della tradizione giapponese in chiave moderna e ironica buttando i personaggi nei drammi della vita reale. 🇬🇧 I can't wait to read this little gem by one of my favourite japanese author less known to the public, Dazai Osamu. The book is a modern ironic retelling of japanese traditional stories where the characters have to face real life's complications and drama. #books #instabooks #bookstagram #bookphotography #japan #japaneseliterature #bookish #bookoftheday #bookworm #booklover #hokusai #libri #lettura #leggere #recommend #dazaiosamu #fancyfan

Ho letto James Joyce per la prima volta al liceo con Dubliners che ho molto apprezzato e Ritratto di un Giovane Artista che é stato cosí cosí. Ho quindi deciso di avventurarmi con l'Ulisse (con tanto di guida a parte) che invece si è rivelata una delusione enorme eccezion fatta per il capitolo finale. Una mia prof all'universitá sosteneva che quando un libro non solo non ti piace ma arriva a irritarti forse sta cercando di dirti qualcosa che ancora non riesci a capire...per l'Ulisse credo proprio che sia un no e basta per me 😅 What are your thoughts on James Joyce? I loved Dubliners and A Portrait of the Artist was so so but I could't stand The Ulysses (except the final chapter). #books #instabooks #bookstagram #bookphotography #libri #lettura #leggere #classics #jamesjoyce #dubliners #ulysses #englishliterature #bookspines

This place was just amazing. If you are in London go and visit Kenwood House! It's a free and you can marvel at the beauty of a former stately house deep withing Hampstead Heath. Everything was magnificent but the library was simply outstanding! #librarygoals #books #bookshelf #library #kenwoodhouse #hampsteadheath #london (at Kenwood House)

'So Matilda's strong young mind continued to grow, nurtured by the voices of all the authors who had sent their books out into the world like ships on the sea. These books gave Matilda a hopefull and comforting message: You are not alone. ' Ho scelto questa citazione del libro perché credo che sia il messaggio piú importante che ho ricevuto da bambina. You are not alone, non sei sola. Ed è proprio cosí che vedo i libri, come amici da cui tornare, come compagni di serate solitarie a sorseggiare tè. Come amici da rivedere, amici che saranno sempre aperti per trasportarti in nuovi mondi. Ah, e ovviamente a immaginare di poter spostare le cose con la forza del pensiero, ma questa storia meritebbe un altro post. Buon #roalddahlday E mai MAI dimenticare la signorina Trinciabue e il lancio di bambine con trecce. Chi si ricorda la meravigliosa scena del film 😁? #books #instabooks #bookstagram #bookphotography #libri #leggere #matilda #roalddahl #bookish #bibliophile #bookoftheday #trunchbullrules

To everyone who belittles or doesn't understand what feminism means and is, this the book for you with kind regards from me. 😊 Chimamanda is simple and direct, she explains what being feminist is for her and how is still necessary nowadays. Also worth watching the TED speech on Youtube after that because hearing her speech is also powerful. #books #instabooks #bookstagram #bookphotography #bookoftheday #bookish #bibliophile #libri #leggere #chimamandangoziadichie #feminist

When I was 10 years I discovered Anne of Green Gables and her beautiful imaginative world. No need to say that I fell in love with it (and consequently of every adaptations I could find). Anne with an e taught that I was good that way I was and I still love the story for it. #instabooks #books #libri #leggere #consigliato #bookish #bookstagram #anneofgreengables #prettycover #childhood #redhair

Buon sabato/Happy Saturday! 🇮🇹 Questo è uno dei libri piú belli che abbia mai letto. Quando qualcuno mi chiede consigli per letteratura giapponese questa è la risposta. È una crime novel non convenzionale che sfida i limiti di genere. Una professoressa ha perso sua figlia. I colpevoli sono i suoi studenti. E adesso vuole vendicarsi. 🇬🇧 One of my favourite book and my first recommendation whenever someone wants to read something from Japan. It's a crime novel but not in the traditonal sense. A teacher lost her daughter. Her students are the murderers. Now she will seek retribution. #books #instabooks #bookstagram #bookphotography #japanese #japaneseliterature #kanaeminato #confessions #favourite #bookish #libri #leggere

🇮🇹 Sto leggendo questo piccolo strano libro che parla di perdite, di dover crescere e delle difficoltá si capirsi l'un altro. Riesce a sconvolgerti e intenerirti allo stesso tempo quindi sono curiosa di vedere cosa succede. 🇬🇧 I am currently reading this eerie little book about loss, growing up and the hardships of understanding one another. It's unsettling and tender at the same time so I am really curious to see where it goes. #bookstagram #instabooks #booksthatIlove #libri #leggere #currentlyreading #bookhaolic #londonreviewbookshop #tea #teatime #cake #afternoontea #creepycover #suchsmallhands #andresbarba @portobellobooks (at London Review Bookshop)

Non potevo non postare anche l'altra opera di Coralie...le illustrazioni sono anche qui meravigliose (è riduttivo usare parole per descriverle e la volpe è adorabile) e la storia è dolceamara ma con un finale che ti scalda il cuore (rappresentato anche dall'uso dei colori e dei toni nel corso della narrazione). Per i miei gusti personali preferisco 'The Worm and the Bird' per la trama ma questo vince per i disegni! 🇬🇧 I just couldn't help myself...I had to post another book by Coralie because the illustrations are just too much (I can't describe how adorable the fox is). The story is bittersweet but with a warming ending which I think is represented as well with the sapient use of colours throughout the narration. Personally, I prefer 'The Worm and the Bird' for the plot but this wins for the drawings! #bookstagram #instabooks #books #read #bookphotography #libri #lettura #coraliebickfordsmith #particularbook #cutefox #prettycover #bookoftheday

What is actually going on in Daenerys' mind.... #got #gamesofthrones #daenerystargaryen #dracarys #drogon #fireandblood #dragons #fire #simpsons

Ok, I've picked up this book for the beutiful cover, then I fell in love with the drawings but the final unexpected blow was the story considering that it is for children. A little worm experiences freedom and the unlimited possibilities of life only after he is picked up by a bird. This dark twist that is lurking behind the ending is what really got me hooked. A recommended reading for everyone and really...just the art of Coralie 💕 5/5.
