Reading this today - feel like I should use my BL Readers card as a book Mark. But that seems even more sad 😞. Miss those reading rooms can‘t wait to one day be back.
Love this!
Having a slow start - quick chapter, pastry & gaze at the amazing wallpaper in the Members Room before I admit to myself that the day has to start! #itsthesmallthings
Look at that, @BookMusings your #litsyaroundtheworld notebook got a personal invitation to the british library 😋 @TheLondonBookworm are you in town for a personal hand-over?
OMG, @TrishB . Look what arrived today! I‘m crazy about these British Library bookmarks (and had to look up what a “Dawlish Warren” was 😂). This edition of P&P is gorgeous (I have a Thomas Hardy from this series) and I love the little British Library mints, the “Well Read” pin and the pretty card. Thank you, my friend! 😘😘😘

If I ever run away from home, this may be where you find me. It's magnificent. So relaxed, so cultured & light filled. I had to put my husband on the train to go back to the States since he isn't coming to Oxford with me. To ease my heart I did what any good reader would do- I came to the library. Immediately I feel better and less traumatized by seeing him walk down to the underground station. Chin up, as they say. Now back to my books.
My fourth time in London and I FINALLY made it to the British Library! If you ever find yourself in this literary city, don't skip this. I was in awe as I glanced at Austen's handwritten diaries and letters and the manuscript of Eliot's Mill on the Floss. And these were just one of MANY! There is something so intimate about glancing directly at the pages that marked the initial inspiration behind a literary masterpiece. ♡ #booksaroundtheworld
