I‘m pacing myself because I love these so much. This one deals with a local performance of Julius Caesar and the most delightful dinner party with some rowdy young men. Every new volume is wonderful and I can‘t wait to read more.

Another day, another journal…
Alas, I‘ve finished this one before the fourth had a chance to arrive. And so, my lazy days with Emma are drawing to a close. For now.

Set in the 1880‘s in a tiny English village, these personal tales of Emma M. Lion‘s spirited encounters and innermost thoughts are a delight. I love the romance, the quirk, the inexplicable little touches of the otherworldly (e.g. the ghost that haunts their neighborhood). Perfection.

monalyisha Volume 2 has the honor of being my favorite so far but with so many literary references to Ralph Waldo Emerson (and the tease of an almost-kiss!), Volume 3 isn‘t far behind. 12mo

KadaGul @monalyisha How adorable!! 12mo

BookNAround I love these. It was a sad day for me when I was completely caught up with the series so that now I have to wait for her to publish more! 12mo

monalyisha @BookNAround I saw that someone (was it you?) was sprinkling them in sparingly amidst their other reading. I have no such self-control to speak of! 12mo

“A lesser mortal might have hoped he would have passed quietly in the night.

I, however, would have settled for him passing rather loudly.”

How can you not giggle at lines like this?!
