💚Some news from Virago. I adore the original green spines though. My heart goes pitter pat when I spot a green spine at a used bookstore. They are becoming fewer and fewer though for me in the wild!

Here is a pic of my billy bookcase that is double stacked with #Vmc. As you can see I've collected a few over the years and it gives you some idea of why my previous post is quite a rare occurrence for me.

A few Viragos in the stash,I always bought them when I saw them! Putting books back in print that shouldn't have been "lost" in the first place.

Today I got an enjoyable email newsletter from Virago in the UK - as their headline states: international publisher of books by women. I signed up after realizing almost every book of theirs I have seen is lovely. If you like bookish news and if your TBR needs a few gorgeous books added, here you go!

And how great is the definition of Virago?!
I will gladly embrace many of those descriptors 😆

Jess_Read_This ?Should I change my screen name to "termagant". ? This is so neat! I just love this publisher so much. I bought a Virago book at used bookstore this past weekend but haven't posted about it yet. Thanks for the newsletter info! 7y
ValerieAndBooks Cool! I just signed up for the newsletter 😊 7y
elkeOriginal @Jess_Read_This I may opt for 'vituperator' 😆 7y
