RIP novelist #ChristopherFowler, 69. Creator of the Bryant & May mysteries, the tagline for Alien, worked on much more. I had the pleasure of his company; a true English gentleman, with cutting wit and sharp intellect. @Peculiar fought admirably and will be sadly missed. https://www.instagram.com/p/CpUw4HeME8C/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

SS#122 “It was true that the city could still throw shadows filled with mystifying figures from its past, whose grip on the present could be felt on certain strange days, when the streets were dark with rain and harmful ideas.” #ChristopherFowler #TenSecondStaircase (Bryant & May, #4)#quote #shadows #provincetown #internationalencausticconference #12internationalencausticconference #parkinglotshadow #leaving #crutches #crutchesofinstagram #shadowselfie #shadowselfieseries #inspirationiseverywhere #corinasalvarezdelugo #justcorina (at Corina Studio)

“Absence doesn't make the heart grow fonder. It makes people think you're dead.” ✨📇✨📇✨ I loved every moment that it took me to read this marvellous dip into literary history. Christopher Fowler has done a fantastic job with The Book of Forgotten Authors. Fowler’s enthusiasm and humour was palpable throughout the entirety of this book, and it was delightful to read about these 99 authors, some of whom I knew and some I didn’t. I loved how he not only included what they were famous for and their books, but as many facts as he could about their lives and the the times they belonged to. This should be read from start to finish, rather than skipping around authors, because he makes connecting points from one entry to the next. Due to these connections, the book flowed really well between one author/genre to the next. A couple of other things I was really pleased with was the focus on women writers, and the way he focused on multi-genres. There were little bits of everything, and it made for an incredibly interesting read. While I didn’t agree with some of the things Fowler wrote, I really loved this book and I’ve got a new list of books to eventually find and check out thanks to him. ✨📇✨📇✨ The Book of Forgotten Authors is book 26 for 2020. #bookstragram #books #booksofinstagram #booklover #bookphoto #reading #aussieswhoread #avidreader #booklover #aussiereader #bookdragon #reader #readersofig #booksofig #bookcommunity #bookish #bibliophile #readersofinstagram #bookstagrammer #booklife #bookaddict #girlswhoread #readinggoals2020 #bookquote #thebookofforgottenauthors #christopherfowler #amazingnonfiction #allaboutauthors #pinkandblack #nonfictionreads #fascinatingreading https://www.instagram.com/p/B9gCka3geFx/?igshid=f4iy6wh6vcaw

¿Qué tan bueno es pensar demasiado?
¿Qué tan bueno es #pensar demasiado?
¿Piensas demasiado?, esto puede ser un grave problema, según nos explica el Dr. #ChristopherFowler del @MethodistHosp
¿Piensas demasiado?, esto puede ser un grave problema
PENSAR
A veces pensamos que somos analíticos, por reflexionar cientos de veces una misma decisión. Pero expertos explican que el hecho de pensar repetidas veces en un mismo problema se hace preocupante cuando nuestras reflexiones no nos llevan a una solución.
¿Te ha sucedido que todo el día estás pensando en miles de cosas y de repente…
