“When you compare the sorrows of real life to the pleasures of the imaginary one, you will never want to live again, only to dream forever”. Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo My current read is The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas.⛵️📖 There are so many great quotes from this book it is hard to choose just one. Full of adventure and revenge, this is a fantastic book! The serial format also makes this book very easy to read. The colors on the cover of the Signet edition reminded me of the Mountain Lion quilt that we have in our Etsy shop!

There is neither happiness nor misery in the world; there is only the comparison of one state with another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness. We must have felt what it is to die, Morrel, that we may appreciate the enjoyments of life.

Live, then, and be happy, beloved children of my heart, and never forget, that until the day God will deign to reveal the future to man, all human wisdom is contained in these two words,

'Wait and Hope.'

6 of My Favourite Books of All Time

I've just published a new blog post on some of my favourite books of all time! Check it out 👇 #booklover #bookworm #mustread

I love reading. I’ve been doing it since I was a kid and I don’t think I’m ever likely to stop. Still, there are some books that just stand head and shoulders above the rest. They may not objectively be the best books in the world, but for whatever reason, they are books that I just couldn’t get enough of. Books that stuck with me. Books that defined and continue to define the kind of writer I…

Settings in Literature as Edward Hopper Paintings

Edward Hopper is a famous American painter. He used to paint simple urban and rural settings that evoked a sense of simple quiet and aloneness. What would it look like if he painted some of these characters from our favorite authors’ setting descriptions?

The Count of Monte Cristo was one of the last books I finished in 2022 and I was lucky to read it alongside some fabulous bookstagrammers, invoking discussions that just added to a perfect reading experience. ⁣ ⁣ Looking at the size of this novel, I’m not surprised that some readers put it off, I was certainly in that camp myself. Honestly though, it reads like a dream and once I was 50 or so pages in, I completely forgot about the length of the story, I was just completely captivated by the adventure of it all. ⁣ ⁣ This novel tells the story of Edmond Dantès, a young man who is falsely imprisoned for a crime he did not carry out. During his years in prison, he becomes friendly with a neighbouring prisoner who tells him of a vast hoard of treasure hidden on the island of Monte Cristo. Edmond becomes determined to escape his confinement, find the treasure and revenge himself on the three men responsible for his incarceration.⁣ ⁣ That’s all I want to say synopsis wise as it’s so much more exciting to let you go and find out all the marvellous secrets of this novel yourself. At points, it almost reads like a thriller, the plot is so compulsive and twisting that it’s difficult to put it down. I also loved the insight Dumas gives into the other characters in play, some likeable, some villainous and there’s some that are even swaying between the two spectrums! ⁣ ⁣ It’s also an interesting look into the flawed nature of humanity and how easily we can be manipulated, or hold a grudge for so long that it consumes us entirely, and not in a healthy way. I’ll never forget this reading journey with the Count and his friends/enemies and urge you with my whole heart to give this book a go. The Count Of Monte Cristo was my favourite and most surprising novel of 2022 and now has a special place in my heart as one of my favourite classics. ⁣ ⁣ The full five stars 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 ⁣ #bookstagramuk #scottishbookstagrammer #thecountofmontecristo #alexandredumas #newfavouritebooks #reviewingbooksonthegram #fivestarclassics #favouritebook2022 #booksiwanttoreread #memorablereads #penguinclothboundclassics #chunkybooksarethebest #booksthatiloved #booksillneverforget https://www.instagram.com/p/Co7yrRErSou/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Reposted from @mckeeculpepper Years ago while dissertating, I saw this portrait of this fine brotha while walking the esplinade at Juilliard in Manhattan. I was captivated and ran in the book store to see who he was. It's not often you see paintings of brothas looking like French aristocrats--- for obvious reasons. In buying the book, I learned his name is Chevalier de Saint Georges. Née Joseph Boulogne. After reading the book that graced his portrait, I went down the rabbit hole and the more I fell the more in awe I was of his prodigious talent. My husband and I ordered all of his recorded music through the University of Minnesota library exchange. There were many nights of us writing to the compositions of this amazing man and wondering aloud to each other how in the hell the world didn't know his name. What became soooo distrubing was as we came across more reading and uncovering his history, we found a name that is not his. He is not, and I repeat, NOT "Black Mozart". In fact there are multiple musical alliterations where some musicologists argue that Mozart borrowed from HIS compositions. YEAH. You see Mozart actually lived in the same housing as Joseph and was a younger impressionable composser at the time. Given Boulogne's status as an 18th century rock star, he, Mozart, swagga jacked Boulogne's music. Ummm yeah, you read that right. In fact, there are just whole passages of music in which Mozart "quotes" the Chevalier de Saint Georges almost verbatim. If you don't believe me check out these two pieces: 1. Boulogne violin concerto (Op. 7, No. 1) from 1777 Versus Mozart’s K. 364, WRITTEN THE FOLLOWING YEAR!!!! ( I am clearly yelling). SOOOO...BLACK Mozart my ass. How about White De Saint Georges? You see how messed up this is?!! Give the man his propers!!!!! AND 'Iainteeena start' (translation, I ain't even started) on the Chevalier's connection to Alexandre Dumas' Three Muskateers. Ummm yeah. Ya'll ain't ready.. BY the way the #Kilian store is on the street named after Boulogne in Paris. Chile...don't ask me how I know. #chevalier #chevalierdesaintgeorges #josephboulogne #blackhistory #know your history #paris #alexandredumas #Dumas #three https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm_upGzuUmG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
