Mrs. Poppy invites Betsy to visit her at her home, the Melborn Hotel. Much grander than the Deep Valley House. 😊 #grandhotel #wanderingjune

I had to show both my first and second posts. #litsymemories My #firstpost was a little over 3 years ago. Sadly, this is not my personal #betsytacy collection. ☹️

@LeahBergen I think you were among my first likes for Emily. 😊

LeahBergen That seems fitting! 😆😆 6y
Blaire Awww. Love Betsy-Tacy. How are you finding your first post? Is there a quick way to do it or do you have to scroll all the way back? 6y
rubyslippersreads @Blaire I scrolled all the way back. It took forever. 😏 6y

"She thought of the library, so shining white and new; the rows and rows of unread books; the bliss of unhurried sojourns there." #BetsyTacyConvention #betsytacy #maudhartlovelace

In a book #setinwinter that always makes me #wanttosmile and is #onyourshelfallyear forever, Betsy eats more than one #cookie. Being the voracious reader she is, I'm sure she often enjoys a #bookandtreat. And she vows to always be a #believer in Santa Claus. #survivingdecember #seasonsreadings2017 #quotsydec17 #decktheshelves #decdays #jingleshelves #multitasking

This might be a little #🌽-y, but the name of this painting Betsy sees on her first trip to the #library is a sly reference to the author's real-life husband, Delos Lovelace. No doubt they were #overcome by ❤️. #marriage #quotsynov17 #emojinov #noteworthynovember #tuneintonovember

I love the last few lines of Betsy and Tacy Go Downtown, which takes place when they are #twelve and Betsy is thinking of "herself and Tacy and Tib going into their 'teens." So sweet, and sets up so much fun to come in the high school books! #novemberbythenumbers #12 #betsytacy #maudhartlovelace

#internationalcatday My elusive Tacy , I adopted her , an adult kitty, a few summers ago when my humane society put out the word they had soooo many cats. I think she belonged to a little old lady ,cuz she acts like a little old lady! I always wonder what happened to Betsy.

#Multitasking for #drive and #wegotogether, because Betsy and Tacy always go together. 😄 #90sInJuly #JubilantJuly #betsytacy

Mdargusch Nice book choice. I might need to reread this too. 8y
RealBooks4ever Excellent! 💜💜💜 8y
CindyMyLifeIsLit Goodreads constantly recommends this book to me! No matter what I read--"Because you read The Shining", "Because you read The Great Gatsby", "Because you read Lady Chatterly's Lover, you would enjoy Betsy and Tacey Go to Town." Seriously?? ? 8y

Betsy's father opens #awholenewworld to her when he tells her she's old enough to go to the #library by herself. #JubilantJuly #sizzlinsummerbooks #multitasking

Also, I first discovered the #BetsyTacy books in a library and checked them out many times thereafter. 😊

#myveryfirstlitsypost, 7 months ago, wherein I borrowed a photo from the Internet and just typed in my quote. This was before I discovered all the great photo apps and how much more fun it is when I add a #kittenlitten to my pictures. 😺#booktober #firstlitsypost

Suzze My kitty loves being a big internet sensation! Well, a Litten Kitten is a star in a small way. 8y

Betsy returned to her chair, took off her coat and hat, opened her book and forgot the world again.

ReadingSusan Best books ever! 9y
Jennicanknit I grew up down the street from the Betsy/Tacy houses. My friend lived in Tib's house!💛 9y
rubyslippersreads @Jennicanknit How fun to grow up in Deep Valley! 9y
Jennicanknit It was actually Mankato, MN but Deep Valley sounds much better. 9y
Caryl @Jennicanknit - That's so neat! I finally visited Betsy, Tacy, and Tib's houses this spring! (I live in St. Paul, so a short road trip.) I ❤️ Maud. 9y
