  "Where Cezanne captured and intensified shards of the eternal (every pear far more sharply defined than it could be in life), Monet portrayed the changeability and flux of every moment. 'The Water Lilies' give you a jittery, amorphous sense of a world seen at the speed of light." ~ Jerry Saltz Isn't it beautifully expressed? 🎨 #claudemonet #waterlilies #monetwaterlilies #jerrysaltz #artcritic #forartlovers #sundayinamuseum #paintingdetail #beautyinthedetails #artstagram #quotesaboutart

  Have a great weekend! 💮 Some have to be busy bees though - publisher's work is never done 🐝 😁 #busybees #redpoppy #haveagreatweekend #publishersofinstagram

  It is because the #feministbookfortnight has drawn to a close that I want to share with #bookstagrammers a few Betimes Books novels with strong, appealing, sometimes #controversial or #unorthodox female characters. Some of these novels are written by men, as you will notice. Like Bret Easton Ellis, I believe that “identity politics of any kind might be the worst idea in our culture right now” (quoting from his latest book, "White"). A certain version of “feminism” – the one that victimises women and excludes men – is not something that, as a woman and a publisher, I want to celebrate. So here’s to Her infinite variety, as seen and described by some wonderful Writers (gender irrelevant). 📖 ✒More on BetimesBooks.com (link in bio) 📖 By the way, the calla lily is a tribute to Frieda Kalho 😉 📖 📖 📖 #strongfemalecharacters #betimesbooksauthors #samhawken #donaldfinnaeusmayo #donaldfmayo #fionnualabrennan #patriciaketola #colinosullivan #Francesca #thedarkmanual #thepainterswomen #dirtypictures #lafrontera #genderirrelevant #writersofinstagram #publishersofinstagram #weneeddiversebooks #foodforthought #discovernewwriters #bookquotes #whitebreteastonellis #callalily #tributetofrieda #friedakahlo #betimesbooks #bookstagram

  Today is the International Day for Biodiversity and, of course, being a publisher, I have just the right book in mind for serious fiction lovers... ⏩From an interview with the #author of The Last Island, @davidhoganwriter : ⚫“The Last Island”covers important issues like environmentalism, animal rights, and the costs of capitalism.  What made you want to write about these issues? ⚫David Hogan: I believe that these are among the paramount issues of our time, and that our responses to them will shape the future. In The Last Island the main characters are exiles and in the process of re-invention and redemption. As they struggle to re-make themselves, they are forced to ask certain questions such as: What obligation do we owe our planet and the creatures upon it? What is the nature of desire and possession? They may not find all the answers, but they are asking the questions. I believe that society too needs to undergo a process of re-invention and redemption, as many of the current answers to these questions become increasingly untenable. We don’t have the answers yet, but, like the characters in The Last Island, we need to continue to ask the questions. 🐬📖🌅 #internationaldayforbiologicaldiversity #biodiversity #environmentalactivism #environment #endangeredanimals #endangeredspecies #greekislands #Mediterranean #dolphins #thelastisland #moraldilemma #davidhogan #abookforourtimes #hottopic #literarytravel #contemporaryliterature #betimesbooksauthors #betimesbookscovers #betimesbooks #publishersofinstagram #bookstagram
