Throw the old preconceptions out the window, ya'll. Think of us as a venue (without a bar).

“The day is ending, The night is descending; The marsh is frozen, The river dead. Through clouds like ashes The red sun flashes On village windows That glimmer red. The snow recommences; The buried fences Mark no longer The road o'er the plain; While through the meadows, Like fearful shadows, Slowly passes A funeral train. The bell is pealing, And every feeling Within me responds To the dismal knell; Shadows are trailing, My heart is bewailing And tolling within Like a funeral bell.” -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow • • #quotes #poetry #bookdragon #bookstagram #bookish #bookphotography #bookishfeatures #igreads #henrywordsworthlongfellow #modernlibrary #flowers

Which of these books/covers do you find yourself drawn to most? . I love both The Awakening and Villette but each cover is absolutely beautiful! I am so excited to present you all with the The Modern Library Torchbearers series today! @penguinrandomhouse wanted to create a series of classics that would "honor a more inclusive vision of classic books" by "recognizing women who wrote on their own terms, with boldness, creativity, and a spirit of resistance." Each book has an introduction by a contemporary woman writer and each book cover was designed by women working in Random House’s design department. How cool is that?! I am so honored to represent these books and these brave women writers today! I highly encourage you all to check out this amazing new classics series! To learn more about each book in the series, see below! Also, @paperbackbones did an awesome post on this series too, so check that out! . Thank you so much to @penguinrandomhouse for gifting me with this awesome series! . 📚 The inaugural list for the series features: - American Indian Stories by Zitkála-Sá, with an introduction by Layli Long Soldier (May 21) - The Heads of Cerberus by Francis Stevens, with an introduction by Naomi Alderman (May 21) - Passing by Nella Larsen, with an introduction by Kaitlyn Greenidge (May 21) - The Awakening by Kate Chopin, with an introduction by Carmen Maria Machado (June 18) - Lady Audley’s Secret by Mary Elizabeth Braddon, with an introduction by Flynn Berry (June 18) - Villette by Charlotte Brontë, with an introduction by Weike Wang (June 18) #modernlibrary #modernlibrarytorchbearers #modernlibraryclassics #penguinrandomhouse #classiclit #classicliterature #coverlove #womenwriters #torchbearer #katechopin #charlottebronte #francisstevens #nellalarsen #zitkalasa #maryelizabethbraddon #booksandtea #bookstagram #bookaesthetic #bibliophile #bookworm #readersofinstagram #ireadclassics https://www.instagram.com/p/B0LrvngAcpt/?igshid=1wpa375bbzk0e
