#STEAMY ENEMIES TO LOVERS BOOKS FANTASY FREE#
Until this year, it has been mostly undertaken by Ellie due to her generally having more free time but this was not the case this year. Imi: This post is an absolute massive task. You can also listen to two of the most arguably famous letters (available to read here) read aloud by actresses Jodie Comer ( Killing Eve) as Vita Sackville-West here & Nicola Coughlan ( Bridgerton Derry Girls) as Virginia Woolf here.ĪO3 TAGS: ‘Nice legs,’ thought Woolf just two gal pals yearning on another level you wish someone loved you enough to write letters like this do people even write love letters like this anymore (The letters are favourites of Ellie’s, and perfect for those who would like a lighter read.)įavourite quotes: “I just miss you, in a quite simple desperate human way” (VSW) “I like making you jealous, my darling, (and shall continue to do so,) but it’s ridiculous that you should be” (VSW) “Yes yes yes I do like you, I am afraid to write the stronger word” (VW) “Dear me you know a lot: you have a rich dusky attic of a mind” (VW) “Everything which is mine is yours, as you very well know – even to my heart” (VSW) & “Oh my God – how I hate caring for people!” (VW). At once funny, insightful, emotional and deeply tender, these oft-quoted letters shed light on one of the most famous literary love affairs – and friendships – of the twentieth century.
