Happy first day of 2023. How are you all spending this day? I'm staying at home. I've been reading and doing my workouts. I plan to cook later today and maybe take a walk too. 🥳 About the picture, it's just me showing the new books I got for Christmas. I haven't read any of them yet but I will definitely try to read them this year.

"It is difficult for a woman to define her feelings in language which is chiefly made by men to express theirs." - Thomas Hardy, Far From the Madding Crowd

In 1998’s 𝑭𝒂𝒓 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑴𝒂𝒅𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑪𝒓𝒐𝒘𝒅, 🐑 Paloma Baeza donned this stunning shot silk gown as Bathsheba Everdene. Fast forward to the year 2000, and Emily Hamilton brought this gown to life as Agnes Wickfield in the enchanting production of 𝑫𝒂𝒗𝒊𝒅 𝑪𝒐𝒑𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒇𝒊𝒆𝒍𝒅. 🎩📚 But the gown’s adventures didn’t end there! In 2001, Kate Maberly wore the piece as Princess Alice in 𝑽𝒊𝒄𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒂 & 𝑨𝒍𝒃𝒆𝒓𝒕! 💖   🔖 Discover more about the costume on our website, or share your comments below!: Bit.ly/VicEd248      

Carey Mulligan first wore this striped dress as Bathsheba Everdene in the 2015 adaptation of 𝑭𝒂𝒓 𝑭𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑴𝒂𝒅𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑪𝒓𝒐𝒘𝒅. 🌾🐑 It was later worn by Charlotte Spencer as Mrs. Appleby in the 2016 series 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑳𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑫𝒆𝒂𝒅. ⚰ Who found this reused costume? 🤔 Visit our website to find out! bit.ly/VicEd238 All intellectual property rights vests with the owner of the copyrighted material.

Far From The Madding Crowd is one of Thomas Hardy’s most famous novels and one I’ve been gleefully anticipating reading for a long time now. It follows our fiercely independent heroine Bathsheba Everdene, as she comes to the area of Weatherbury, determined to make her mark as a farmer. ⁣ ⁣ It wouldn’t be Hardy without a train of suitors eager to fall in love with the female lead so we are introduced to three very different men. There is Gabriel Oak, a loyal shepherd, who met Bathsheba before and now works for her on her farm. Then there is fellow farmer and perfect gentleman Boldwood who also has history with Bathsheba after she writes an ill-advised letter to him, soon to regret her actions when he responds to it. Finally, there is brash and confident soldier Sergeant Troy who catches her attention immediately. ⁣ ⁣ I always worry that I’m going to get tired of Hardy’s patterns in fiction, particularly the multiple suitors but for some reason, it never gets old and he manages to flesh out his characters so that they stand on their own in terms of individuality and memorability. As always, I hugely appreciate the attention to detail in terms of his female leads and their attitudes/strong personalities. ⁣ ⁣ Bathsheba was a fascinating character with so many different layers and it was lovely to read about an honest, flawed and opinionated woman who isn’t afraid to be ambitious and driven in her quest to better herself. Furthermore, this isn’t your typical Hardy tragedy where you’re just waiting for the literary axe to fall - it was a surprisingly gentle finale which wrapped up events perfectly. Definitely on my re-read list for the future! ⁣ ⁣ Four solid stars 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 #bookstagramuk #scottishbookstagrammer #bookreview📚 #farfromthemaddingcrowd #thomashardyfarfromthemaddingcrowd #thomashardyfans #booksandplants🌵📖 #penguinclothboundcollection #reviewingbooksonthegram #classicnovelsnevergetold #classicnovellovers https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp3K_LQLIYQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
