For this #FridayReads, my first #SpinsterSeptember read of the year, Sylvia Townsend Warner's "Lolly Willowes", a book originally published 100 years ago, a very early example of #feminist #fiction, and "one of the 100 Best Novels in English" according to The Guardian.

If you're curious and like to read in electronic formats, you can read it for free from a nice #StandardEbooks edition, made from the #wikisource transcription of the book.

It’s Weekend, Let’s Read: 100 years of The Blue Castle

Today I’m bringing you a suggestion I have on my TBR, The Blue Castle by L. M. Montgomery, the same author of Anne of Green Gables. Contrary to Anne, this book was written for adults, so check its trigger warnings.

The Blue Castle was first published in 1926, so it’s a good excuse to read it this year and celebrate its centenary. You can get the book through Project Gutenberg or, if you have a Kobo, through the specific format at Standard Ebooks.
