This is the first post of a series about books written by women in the past to give me an excuse to read more female authors, which have been lacking from my bookshelf recently.
Let's explore where books live: aka the library. Here are some cool ones I've encountered and others from that I've admired on Pinterest #WorldBookDay.
My all-time favourite book to revisit is Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier. I read it because it was on a list of mandatory reading at school in Grade 10 and I chose it at random. The first line is so simple and captivating, and every time I read it I have a new appreciation for the way Du Maurier can create atmosphere out of diction, and describe the haunting Manderley estate in dreamy detail.
