an early woolf, easier to read than her later stream-of-consciousness writing (i'm working my way up!), with intriguing themes of love, marriage, family, expectations... all of the characters feel very distinct and i'm enjoying this one a lot! :-)

By Virginia Woolf. My first Woolf! Two friends and I all read it in succession, and I found it very captivating and moving. A novel about memory and growing up and and noticing and experiencing life in all its richness in the mundanity of a single day...how did she do it?? I think I will make a pilgrimage to Regent’s park now

a breathtaking work of experimental modernism, and probably woolf’s greatest masterpiece.
the text follows six children as they stumble through life, grow up, grow apart, and grieve a dead friend. written in a nauseous stream of consciousness that blurs each character into the next in an attempt to break down the walls between the inner world and the world of the other.
the most successful meditation on big existential questions—death, love, grief, and the impossibility (and harrowing importance) of unfiltered connection—i’ve ever encountered.
really hard to describe this one without minimizing it. i recommend reading it in as few sittings as possible to get the full effect.

so so fun to do with plants but also cutouts and fun items. developing photos is so cool & you don’t even need to take photos for this (and relatively affordable!) i can’t wait to try it on fabric/clothes as well ‼
