What Katy Did at School | Susan Coolidge

Here you go, especially for you @LeahBergen ❤️

It‘s a 1970 edition - my others will be slightly later as they were new when I was young, so probably 1980ish - I‘ll have to check….

Not a very glam photo - I‘m on the train home!

BarbaraBB Love your posts about your London book browsing! (edited) 2y

LeahBergen Wonderful!! I remember these editions from when I was young. My very first Jane Austen was one of these. ❤️❤️ 2y

Such a happy little school story, although nothing thrilling. I thoroughly enjoyed it and now am almost done with the third book in the series as well. Still hoping to finish all four of these books for #24b4Monday !!

Andrew65 Going well. Good luck. 👏👏👏 5y

1. Tagged - almost done though.
2. I reread the Bridal Quartet by Nora Roberts for about the fifth time - I especially love the concluding book, Happy Ever After.
3. I'm clearing some older, random books off my personal shelves - making a real effort to read every book I own and ditch the ones I'm never going to reread, while at the same time actually rereading ones that I know I love!!

#weekendreads @rachelsbrittain

night_shift I really need to do that with the books I own. I know there's probably a few I won't reread that are just sitting there taking up space unread... maybe I'll name that a goal next year! 5y

TheAromaofBooks @UnidragonFrag - I've honestly been working on it off and on for a few years... I seem to have accumulated over a thousand books! :-D 5y

O Rose! Such subtext! If only they'd gone with this suggestion (or the "Put-him-down-Club", also hilarious) rather than "The Society for the Suppression of Unladylike Conduct"). I'm enjoying this book at least as much as I did as a kid. #classics #childrens #childrensclassic

kirriemummy I loved the put him down club too 😂😂 and I live in hopes someone will one day send me a Christmas box in the league of the one the carrs get! 7y

juliannebenford @kirriemummy That Christmas box 😍😍😍 When I was a kid I used to try to recreate it using stuff from around my house! It wasn't *quite* the same... 7y

kirriemummy It never is- also I wanted a watch with a watered silk wrist band- that sounded very elegant! 7y

juliannebenford @kirriemummy Yes, I wasn't even entirely sure what half the objects were but they sounded elegant! 7y

kirriemummy Absolutely! I read it in 1987 and only now really get what all the fuss with washstands was about! 7y

juliannebenford @kirriemummy Same! That bit went right over my head as a kid. 7y
