Packing up my flat in preparation for moving out and having a wee look at the books I've read over the last 9 months (excluding Middlemarch and Franny and Zooey). Moving is never an easy task for bookworms! 😅 📚🐛 #books #moving #tbr #read #toberead #librariesofinstagram #novels #chriskraus #alismith #frenchliterature #french #english #booksbooksbooks #bookworms #johnberger #charlesdickens #englishliterature #SWC #scottishwriterscentre #glasgow #scotland #uofglasgow #unilife #university #british #student #scottish

''Susan had read nothing and Fanny longed to give her a share in her own first pleasures'' - Mansfield Park, Jane Austen

Beautiful illustration by @amreeweaver found in @guardian ✨ 200 years ago today marks the anniversary of Jane Austen's death who has left behind an unforgettable literary legacy 📖💌 #janeausten200 #janeausten #mansfieldpark #literature #bicentenary #SWC #scottishwriterscentre #booksbooksbooks #theguardian #amreeweaver #illustration #reading #prose #librariesofinstagram #janeaustenquote #englishliterature #british

✨EVENT TOMORROW✨

Love is a strange word in the English language. When we use the word love we can mean sex, romantic love, or a whole range of other nuanced emotions. The ancient Greeks had four words instead: Agape, Storge, Philia and Eros, meaning god-like, brotherly, familial or sensual. What does it say about the English-speaking world that even at the deep level of language, from childhood onwards, we confuse lust with love, and use the word so lightly when describing our favourite food or music?

We hope you can join the Scottish Writers' Centre as we host Douglas Thompson author and our former chair for 'Dirty Poetry to Die For' in which Thompson shall explore and analyze his influences by referencing some of the best loved poems from contemporary and historic poets, followed with readings from his own poetic attempts to define the elusive and enduring mystery of human love. 💌👀✨ 7pm, £6(£3 concession/Free to SWC members) otd
