#BookSnapSunday – The diary of Frida Kahlo

https://www.instagram.com/p/B4ZE6_yAfS7/?hl=en I absolutely love the diary of Frida Kahlo, what an amazing woman she was. What I love most about her diary is the sheer immediacy and intimacy of the diary and most of all I love the colour and the unpolished nature of the diary, the rough, naive nature of the illustration. This is … Continue reading #BookSnapSunday – The diary of Frida Kahlo

#bookstagram #dogsandbooks My new book buddy getting comfortable for some serious reading.
#BookSnapSunday #bookstagram A steampunk theme this week with Sydney Padua's graphic The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage and Gibson and Stirling's seminal steampunk novel The Difference Engine which also features the remarkable Ada Lovelace as a character. I have been surprised to learn that most of the people we meet don't know who Ada Lovelace is, this comes up in conversation all the time when we explain the new pooches name. If you would like to join me in #BookSnapSunday leave me a comment and link here or at gumtreesandgalaxies.com Also we are currently running a giveaway on gumtreesandgalaxies.com check it out.
#BookSnapSunday #bookstagram Join me in #BookSnapSunday and leave me a comment and a link, either here or on the blog; gumtreesandgalaxies.com This week's book snap is The diary of Frida Kahlo a gorgeous book that replicates Frida's work in all its colourful glory. I love it for the immediacy and naivety of the illustration. The book also contains a complete translation of the diary in English but it is the colour of the original pages I love. I borrowed a copy from the uni library so I could show an internal page with the cover. Frida is another one of my heroes, a source of inspiration in many ways. Happy reading.
#BookSnapSunday #bookstagram This week's book snap is Mad Enchantment Claude Monet and the painting of the waterlilies by Ross King. I loved this account especially all the information about Money's friendship with Clemenceau another fascinating figure in French history. The location is the fountain pond in Laurel bank park with some waterlilies in the background. Join me in Booksnapsunday and leave me a comment and link here or at gumtreesandgalaxies.com

#BookSnapSunday #bookstagram Just getting in early with this week's book snap, since hallowen is fast approaching went with a bit of a dark theme and have used a couple of the beautiful Terry Pratchett hard covers, two of the death novels; Reaper Man, and Mort, Death is one of my favorite Pratchett characters. Big thanks to Bronte for helping me with this one. As always if you would like to join me on #BookSnapSunday, check out gumtreesandgalaxies.com and leave a link in the comments. Happy reading.
#BookSnapSunday #bookstagram This week's book snap is an old favourite, since I have been promoting the virtues of keeping journals on the blog, thought I would share one of my favorite published journals, Anthony Sher's Year of the king, a remarkable account of the process of acting and creating and interpreting a character. A fantastic book if you are looking for insight into Shakespeare's Richard the third, insightful, and entertaining. Sher is not just a great actor but a wonderful writer and talented artist, the cover image is from one of Sher's self portraits. This is a great read and while it is an old and slightly obscure book it is well worth seeking out, I know there is a copy in the USQ library and my well loved copy has been read by my daughter and several of her friends. Oh and the grey shadow behind is Dash I was trying to get him to pose with the book but that was as good as I could get.
#BookSnapSunday #bookstagram This week's Booksnapsunday post is the remarkable Sand Talk, I have just started reading, finding it stimulating and engaging. As always if you would like to join me in Booksnapsunday leave me a comment and a link either here on Instagram or at gumtreesandgalaxies.com happy reading.
