I saw and loved the movie before I read and loved the book. When I brought it to the till at the bookstore, the man started gushing about the book. “You just... It’s just... Just read it.” And then I knew just what he was trying to say. ⭐️ The story is told in barely a hundred pages, but there is something so lovely and intimate about reading a small story about ordinary people going about their lives... until, of course, you rent an apartment in the same building as larger-than-life Holly Golightly and for a little while, your life takes an unexpected turn. ⭐️ Brought to life by the iconic Audrey Hepburn in the 1961 movie, Holly is one of the most interesting characters you will find in modern literature, a woman both endearing and infuriating, adamant to live life on her own terms, but struggling to grapple with the consequences, while still trying to grapple with her past. ⭐️ In so few words, Capote tells a dazzling narrative, showing us Holly only through the eyes of Paul Varjak, adding to the strangeness of her character and the poignancy of their budding relationship. ⭐️ This the perfect little book for readers who love oddball characters in a brilliantly written and supremely romantic love story. Head to my instastory for some of my favourite passages from the book! . . . #bookstagram #books #bookstoread #reading #amreading #trumancapote #breakfastattiffanys #readersofinstagram #lovebooks #bibliophile #bookworm
Happy Birthday Roald Dahl! I am always eager to ask my students what books they have read and loved, and Roald Dahl has always been one of the top favourite authors they shoot their hands up to tell me about. Matilda, a favourite among my students and one of his most famous books, has been turned into a Hollywood film and is now also a celebrated musical. Roald Dahl never talks down to his young readers, and doesn’t consider what children should be reading about - he just tells a good story, one that will make children laugh and feel moved in equal measure. . . . #roalddahl #happybirthdayroalddahl #bookquotes #readersofinstagram #readers #lovebooks #childrensbooks #childrensbookstagram
A gorgeously designed new collection of six of Kamila Shamsie’s novels by @bloomsburypublishing (reposted from @kshamsie). Published between 1998 (“In the City by the Sea”) and 2017 (“Homefire”), Shamsie’s novels have spanned decades and continents, and have won fans and awards across borders. How many have you read? . . . #bookstagram #regram #repost #kamilashamsie #pakistaniwriters #pakistaniauthors #instareads #readersofinstagram #reading #books #bookish #writersofpakistan
Trying this on for size. Has anyone read it? The blurb is reminding me of The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery. . . . #bookstagram #books #bookshelf #bibliophile #lovebooks #eleanoroliphantiscompletelyfine #gailhoneyman #bookish #reading #nowreading #instaread #booksofinstagram
Throwback to Day 3 of the Sensational Stories workshop, which was all about plot! Our 10-13 year old group worked hard to brainstorm and structure the plot of their stories. It always helps to see your stories mapped out on paper, and these young writers did a fantastic job. . . . #creativewritingclass #storytellingforkids #youngwriters #lahore #creativekids #creativewritingforkids #thewritingroom #youngwritersworkshop #writingsensationalstories #kidscanwrite
Happy Weekend! What is everyone reading today? I just finished a book and would love some ideas for what to start next. #readersofinstagram #reading #readingrecommendations #bookish
