Comment on The Great Gatsby film review by orange

It’s interesting to hear that you preferred the film to the book. I didn’t enjoy reading it at all, and have no interest in seeing the film, but now I will be perhaps a little more lenient when considering it…

I haven’t, you make it sound like the scary Miss Peregrine book where I am sure I’ll both love it and be terrified!

It’s pretty chilly here right now to be honest — I’m experiencing my first winter in nearly 3 years and it’s a huge shock to my system! I grew up in France and did 2 degrees in art history so I was really spoilt for access to museums and galleries… here there are some interesting things going on but they are of a completely different category. It’ll be fascinating to come back with a new perspective on everything I visit! Btw I do have a couple of secret book pictures I’d like to share with you… maybe I can email you? In some places I was allowed to take pics for my own personal viewing, just not allowed to publish them online…. (sneaky haha)

I’m glad you like it! Let me know if you’re ever in Oxford and I’ll give you a tour of some of the bookish sites.

It’s a pity that you’re not allowed to blog about more visits because that post is amazing! You’ll be able to do all kinds of visits and exchanges to European Museums in time, I’m sure. Plus, the UK at least is best avoided at the moment. It’s meant to be nearly summer and we’re still having winter temperatures.Grim.

How fantastic! My mother and grandfather both were very into bookbinding for a while so it’s always been on my radar — you’re right that I would have loved this! The gold print on green paper is just fascinating, what a brilliant anecdote

Sorry! Have you ever seen the Dr Who episode set in the largest library in the universe? Between that and the fire systems, I’m not sure I’ll ever feel entirely relaxed in library stacks ever again.

By the way, I kept thinking about this system when I was prowling the library stacks late the other night, it got me quite nervous!!
