From the archive for the #1970Club, a few thoughts on PLAY IT AS IT LAYS by Joan Didion, who seems to have an innate ability to get inside the minds of women on the edge – isolated and distanced from those around them. #BookSky 💙📚

I’ve written a few thoughts on The Driver’s Seat by Muriel Spark for the #1970Club and it was a short, unnerving read I’m still thinking about! 💙📚

From the archive for the #1970Club, my thoughts on LAST SUMMER IN THE CITY by Gianfranco Calligarich.

Intense, melancholic & richly cinematic, this rediscovered gem is a wonderfully evocative read. Think LA DOLCE VITA meets the novels of Alfred Hayes. 💙📚

“We are not attractive when we write.” #colette #places #1970club Today’s book for the #1970Club is an nteresting one, as it’s a posthumous work by one of my favorite authors, and in fact she never actually published a book with this title. Intrigued?…

I seem to be sticking to favourite authors so far for the #1970Club - today's book is from the marvellous #Colette!! kaggsysbookishramblings.wordpress.com/2024/10/16/w...

A new week and thankfully it looks like a quieter one. Just finished a couple of books so I’ll be working on reviews today and then trying to decide which book to read for the #1970Club reading event, which I’ve not had time to think about until now 💙📚
