The Used Women’s Book Club

A cruise and a library

The biggest fear a bibliophile can have is to be stranded on the sea and have nothing to read. I underestimated the spare time on the ship but thanks for the librarians all over the world. They rescue the lone souls across the world by offering great reads. This is where I found the book - the used women's book club, that lay amongst other wonderful books for the sailors.

The book is full of mention and references of popular books and movies - all classics in their own right and write. The pun intended

British, French and bohemian literature which forms a part of our bringing up and how it links to the history and lives of ours. Could you imagine Virginia Woolf could be ever linked to Jack the Ripper. 

Jo grew up on a substantial dose of bohemian version of fairy tales told by her mother. 

Tale of Kuratko, the terrible 

Tale of Drohung 

This leads to her analysing them for the rest of her life. 

Her first book 📚 was sleeping beauties - on how women were used in the fairy tales and the second one was wip called wolf women where she wrote about strong women who avenged themselves for being used - Clarice from silence of the lambs, 

Just like Author Larry was a cameraman and an artist 

The grey streets of London with hooked Jack the Ripper, suicidal Virginia Woolf, scary attacking seagulls and the dark Thames with secrets so grim and sinister. 

Finally why one gives a 5 star rating because one finds a fellow book lover and his favourite list of books. Here is Paul's list of books and some movies - 

The volcano lover

The convenient marriage 

Jane Austen - pride and prejudice, sense and sensibility, Emma, Jane eyre 

Children's books and grimms fairy tales - Pinocchio, little red riding hood, sleeping beauty

Virginia Woolf's book and biographies 

Jack the Ripper 

Hitchcock' the birds

Women who kill (and mushrooms)
