A Room of One's Own

"A Room of One's Own" by Virginia Woolf explores the world of female novelists, emphasizing the importance of financial independence and personal space for women to freely express their ideas.

I personally enjoyed a lot her reflexions about both sexes, and how she talks diferently about men and women, and their diferent grade of dificulties in order to make themselves a name in the novelism world.

I also liked a lot her references to some of the most famous and important female autors, with whom without their work and constant dedication, we, women, woudn't be where we are now in the literary world.

I give it 4 stars, because there were moments of confusion and deviation from the main topic, making it challenging to follow at times, although I think we can blame It on the writing style from back then.

Nevertheless, it's a book with valuable reflections that every women should read at least once in their life.

cat and book; a story

“I believe cats to be spirits come to earth. A cat, I am sure, could walk on a cloud without coming through.” ― Jules Verne

my cat-shaped, book-guarding spirit:

i tell her what jules verne says about her kind. she is not impressed.

2. i show her his book. she is not impressed.

3. i try to teach her how to read his words. she is a bad student.

4. she shows signs of dumb-bitch-itis. dr google tells me it's incurable.

5. i give up on her and fail as a teacher. she plays with the string.

the end.

I reblog bookish content and since I have a home library I also make bookish content myself; aesthetic book pics, reviews, recommendations, quotes, excerpts, hauls and cats.

Delicious in Dungeon by Ryoko Kui

5/5

This post is for Fan entertainment, I’m not being paid.

To see Vol 2 of Delicious in Dungeon post Click here

Hi everyone,

I remember picking the manga up years ago, I was looking for a cooking manga like Sweetness and Lighting or Izakaya Nobu. Thinking that this would incorporate recipes, granted you could substitute a lot of the ingredients in the story. In the beginning this wasn’t what I was hoping for, but I don’t regret buying this manga.

I started playing D&D with friends at work recently, and re reading this manga I’m getting so much inspiration for characters for future campaigns.

Now there is an anime out for it I am over the moon for it.

For those who haven’t read or watch the Anime, the story is center on a adventuring group Laios the human fighter, Marcille the Half Elf magic user, Chilchuck the half-foot rouge (I guess you can call him a rouge he handles traps and lock picking that sort of thing), and my personal favorite character of this series Senshi the dwarf cook of the group, he is traveling and teaching the 3 adventures about monster cooking.

The whole point of the story is Laios and his group before meeting Senshi, with Laios, Chilchuck, Marcille, Laios’s sister Falin, and two others were fighting a red dragon in one of the lower levels of the dungeons. However, this dragon overpowered them all and caught and ate Falin.

However, with the last bit of magic that Falin had, she got the group out of danger. The other two after getting top side resign from Laios’s group but Marcille and Chilchuck stayed wanting to save Falin.

Then the adventure starts from there, it’s them going down to the lower levels of the dungeon trying to find the red dragon that ate Falin and recuse her. Senshi is traveling with them because he always wanted to try red dragon meat.

This manga is an amazing read and I would highly recommend to a player of D&D or anyone who likes wholesome fantasy stories.

When a misunderstanding results in the two teams sharing a rink, and Anastasia’s partner gets hurt in the aftermath, Nate finds himself swapping his stick for tights, and one scary coach for an even scarier one. The pair find themselves stuck together in more ways than one, but it’s fine, because Anastasia doesn’t even like hockey players…right?

I really wanna read something that is LGBTQ+ but also resolves around murder and crime-solving :')

I wouldn't keep the classics that i loved and still love to read because i'm trying to decolonize my mind from the influence of the white male western writers (especially the french ones) : so no place for Les Misérables, Night Flight, Moby Dick or more Shakespeare's plays etc...

Tagging without pressure of course @literatureandtrees @teainthegarden @b3tweenworlds @queenmeriadoc @starlady66 @ichabodjane @autumnmobile12 @helenvader @verecunda @ibrividi

Delicious in Dungeon vol 4 by Ryoko Kui

5/5

This post is for fan entertainment, I’m not being paid.

To see the Vol 3 post of Delicious in Dungeon Click here

Major Spoilers, if you haven’t watched the anime or read this volume, I would stop reading and go check them out, you have been warned.

The volume starts with Mr. Tansu and his group returning top side, via a magic painting. When I first met Mr. Tansu I didn’t think too much of him. But reading this volume I can tell that he is someone of importance because not only he is a very powerful magic user (he can bring people back from the dead. Freshly dead.) He also goes and see the lord of the island that the dungeon is on. He, at the moment, is one of my least favorite characters, but I respect him for how much he cares for Kiki & Kaka and his wife.

Namari and the twins go to a body recovering place and see if Falin turns up, with no such luck, and they have a meal together.

Back to Laios’s team

Our heroes make it the town castle area of the dungeon. They observe that the dragon has been by the area recently and they have found supplies that the Orcs that have been chased out left behind. Senshi wants to make bread and Laios and the group decide to come up with a plan of attack.

With the group they have, they are underprepared, Laios tells Senshi how they would tackle dragons (smaller versions) with the other ex-party members and Falin.

Last volume and this volume show how great Falin was with the defensive stuff while Marcille did offensive stuff.

The fight with the dragon was epic, everyone is fighting tooth and nail to slay the beast and get Falin, and there are some dicey moments in the fight and Senshi is awesome in the fight.

Chilchuck finds out that Laios had a monster sword and was not happy with the Laios hiding this from the group.

Spoilers

But, after a long grueling fight they fell the dragon, but it was too late for Falin, she was digested by the dragon. However, Marcille offers a way to bring Falin back.

Marcille has been studying ancient forbidden magic, which unnerves Chilchuck and Senshi who tell her not to do it. Marcille looks at Laios and asks what she should do. Laios wants his sister back and tells her to do it.

Using the dragon flesh and finding Falin bones Marcille makes a rune circle and starts chanting.

The how ritual is very draining on Marcille, and she passes out from the drain on her mana, but Falin is back.

After the group spends some time relaxing and recovering and almost getting blown up the group is treated to a delicious meal cooked by Senshi, they all turn in for the night.

But at the sight of the dragon we see a lone elf figure, the elf from the chapter with the magic paintings.

Now my final thoughts on this volume.

I loved it honestly the fight with the dragon was epic and I was so happy that Laios and Marcille got Falin back.

Now before this volume I just thought that Marcille and Falin were like best friends from magic school. But after reading this volume there is something there between Falin and Marcille, I am not sure if I am reading into wrong or the billions of pieces of fan art of the two of them together has anything to do with it.

I look forward to the next volume.

~ The little wartime library ~

Hi! So, the first book I read this year, was The little wartime library by Kate Thompson, I enjoyed this book a lot, so here I leave my review, hope you like it!📚💫

I must say that it's one of those books you can't stop reading until you finish it.

Based on true events, it tells the story of the little underground library in Bethnal Green—a library that, as the book narrates, helped many people escape the harsh reality of World War II.

It not only talks about this small underground library but also introduces its two main characters, two women, Ruby Munroe and Clara Button—best friends with their own individual stories, yet sharing a common passion for the library and all it represents.

Throughout the book, we learn about our protagonists' stories and the situation of women during that time. Despite everything, they forge ahead, supporting each other and facing the adversities of the era.

Highly recommended reading!
