Hey, Paula! I think that you sent me a book from another of your #LMPBC groups? No sweat, just wanted to let you know. 😊

If you‘d like me to forward it, drop me an email (robinb@litsy.com) with the recipient‘s name/address. 👍

bookandbedandtea Oh no!! @ElizaMarie Apparently I screwed up. If I emailed both of you the other's address, would you send each other the correct books? I'll be happy to venmo you both the postage. I can't believe I did that! I'm so sorry! 😳😖 7mo
robinb @bookandbedandtea it‘s no biggie, Paula…no Venmo necessary for me. And yes, happy to forward to @ElizaMarie on Monday. 7mo
ElizaMarie @bookandbedandtea No problem! (Also no Vemo needed - these things happen). I haven't gotten the book you meant to send to @RobinB though. When did you send it? (edited) 7mo

TheAromaofBooks Oh @bookandbedandtea I FINALLY got your books in the mail today!! I sent you back Celine from the last round, and The Only Survivors for this round. Sorry it took so long - part of it was me not getting to reading the book and then this week has just been absolute pandemonium in my family lol But you should get them soon!!!! @Jerdencon @robinb 7mo
bookandbedandtea @ElizaMarie I mailed both books last Monday. If it didn't get to you by today I'd assume it will arrive Monday. I'm away from home right now but I can track it when I get back home tomorrow night. I'll email both you and @robinb with each other's addresses. 7mo
bookandbedandtea @TheAromaofBooks I hope it's been good family pandemonium, or at least nothing too bad! You're timing for sending those is actually pretty good! I'll probably be just about ready to read TOS when it arrives. 😊 7mo

bookandbedandtea @robinb I just tried sending an email to you and Eliza but I got a failure message for you. Can you email me at ps.harp@comcast.net? 7mo
robinb @bookandbedandtea hi Paula! Just sent an email. Let me know if you don‘t receive it. 😊 7mo
robinb Hi Paula! @bookandbedandtea Just got my #LMPBC today. I‘ll get started on it as soon as I can…got a busy week unfortunately. 😩 Thanks for sending @ElizaMarie ! 🤗 Did you receive yours, Eliza? According to tracking number it should reach you today. 🤞🏼🤞🏼 (edited) 7mo
ElizaMarie @robinb @BookAndBedAndTea I never got it the #LMBC book. I had been meaning to send this message earlier this week. Didn't see the comment until I went to go dig for it. But yeah, I haven't received the book yet. And... well there will be no way I would even begin to finish it -- 7mo
robinb @ElizaMarie so sorry it‘s so late, Eliza…you never know these days. It appears to still be slowly moving. I‘ll be keeping an eye on it from my end. @bookandbedandtea 7mo
ElizaMarie @robinb Does is show as being delivered already? I checked the neighbor and they said they didn't get anything. 7mo
robinb @ElizaMarie No. It shows that it‘s still in transit but delayed. I think I sent you the tracking number in our last email? If not, let me know, and I‘ll do that. 7mo
ElizaMarie @robinb You might have sent it, but I could have accidently deleted the email. I tend to delete emails when I think I have completed what I had to do with it. So, it might have been something like that. 7mo

ElizaMarie @bookandbedandtea Oh, don't worry about it. Accidents happen. Life is super crazy all over all the time! So. No biggie. I think I am going to send this to the next person. I know I won't be able to get halfway through this one (and I have a couple of others started). But... I hear it's a good book, so I will put it in my TBR and get to it soon-ish! 6mo

This is almost a Robin Hood tale. Dona really grew on me, and I loved her wit, courage and joie de vivre. There was humour in the dialogue that had me chuckling.
I got a bit tired of the “women are only good for having children” attitude, and hoped this would be challenged more but sadly wasn‘t. I don‘t know if it‘s just indicative of the time period, but I did roll my eyes!

Bookbuyingaddict Also on my TBR read Jamaica 🇯🇲 inn last November and loved 🥰 it x 7mo

“There was silence between them for a moment, and she wondered if all women, when in love, were torn between two impulses, a longing to throw modesty and reserve to the winds and confess everything, and an equal determination to conceal the love forever, to be cool, aloof, utterly detached, to die rather than admit a thing so personal, so intimate.“

This past months reading pleasure❤️
Favourite‘s were Frenchman‘s Creek by Daphne de Maurier, Willa Cather‘s Death Comes to the Bishop, another brilliant novella by Claire Keegan and a beautiful memoir of childhood by Alan Garner that made me want to write my own childhood history. So many wonderful writers!!!
I‘m not ready to post my 2023 favourites yet as I still have 3 weeks reading time to go 🤣

Heyyyy I found a “classic” that I like!
Loved loved loved this. Dona, freshly 30 & bored of her life, with society & kids & a drunk bore of a husband, flees to their estate in Navron & meets a pirate. It‘s really a timeless tale even with the swashbuckling. “People who travel are always fugitives”

An exciting and romantic adventure story set in Cornwall about a gentlewoman and a pirate. Daphne du Maurier is one of my favourite authors and I just love her writing. It‘s so vivid I can almost imagine myself there on the banks of Frenchman‘s Creek. A great story to take you away from the trials and tribulations of life. You can‘t beat a swashbuckling pirate tale! Highly recommended.

No gothic mystery vibes in this book. A fun pirate adventure and romp. I'm glad Dona had her adventure and learned that her children come first. I hope I can find the movie with Joan Fontaine.

This was Number 182 for my #MountTBRchallenge. Also it is the December read for The Daphne du Maurier Project on goodreads.

@CrowCAH this story has pirates.

This cover is the edition I had years ago, but got wrecked in a flood.

I had to use PTO time from work today for doctors and dentist appointments. And today was free pizza day at work. Darn I missed out on cheesy goodness. But my book score made up for it. “The Awakening” is still shrink wrapped and I was able to tick another Du Maurier off my acquirement list. Now it‘s root beer floats for the rest of the day. I can‘t feel my face and I don‘t want to bite through my lip.

Lady Dona St. Columb lives what some might call a #perfectlife in the high society of London with her husband and two children. But for Dona, this life is boring and not at all what she wants. But then a handsome pirate finds his way into her life, and the life isn‘t as bad as it seemed before 👌

Also, I‘m having strong #perfectlife-vibes today!

I'm only about 1/3 into this one but it seems to be very different from Du Maurier's earlier novels. Much more of a romance which isn't my fave. It's not bad, I just prefer the more gothic stories if Rebecca and My Cousin Rachel.

Tamra Thanks for the heads-up. 7y
