Betsy in Spite of Herself | Maud Hart Lovelace

I keep an eye out for early editions of Maud Hart Lovelace's books in every used bookstore I go to. I've never been lucky enough to catch one in the wild until this past week! Lo and behold, a tiny, wonderful used bookstore in a tiny northern Michigan town had this glorious copy waiting for me. #BetsyTacy #MaudHartLovelace #MittenLitten

Ruthiella What a find! 😍 4mo

Leftcoastzen And that old cool library binding 4mo

rubyslippersreads What a treasure! 4mo

#SummerSouls When I think Picnic, my mind always goes to Betsy and Tacy. Their tradition of picnics started on the bench by Author Maud Hart Lovelace's house. I was thrilled to get to visit on a warm summers day in 2016. 😎

@Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

rubyslippersreads It‘s a wonderful feeling to sit on that bench. 😍 7mo

Crinoline_Laphroaig @rubyslippersreads it is! 7mo

Eggs Oh wonderful! I‘m green 🌿 with envy! I read & reread those books so many times🩷💗🩷 7mo

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Great photo 💚 7mo

LeahBergen I‘m hoping to get there this summer. 🤞 7mo

Betsy-Tacy and Tib (Betsy-Tacy, #2) | Maud Hart Lovelace

Packing for a quick weekend getaway. Four books seems reasonable right? 😁

Graywacke Looks good. Although, you never know when you‘ll stumble across 100 free hours of reading on a two day getaway. At least that seems to how i always plan. 8mo

Suet624 Just map out where the nearest bookstore is in the event you need it 8mo

Ruthiella Maybe just one more? 😆 8mo

BarbaraBB You‘re living on the edge 😉 8mo

LeahBergen Add one more Betsy Tacy to the stack 😆 8mo

merelybookish @Graywacke Exactly! One needs to be prepared! 8mo

merelybookish @Suet624 Oh a visit to the bookstore is definitely on the docket! 8mo

merelybookish @Ruthiella Lol! I think you're right. 😉 8mo

merelybookish @BarbaraBB haha. Yes, it's risky. 😆 8mo

merelybookish @LeahBergen Oh I wish! Currently depending on the NB public library system and they don't have the whole series. 🙄 8mo

Cathythoughts Enjoy ❤️ 8mo

Big into rereads and comfort reads right now. Just revisited this delight and wish ALL the Betsy-Tacy books were available on audio. (They're not.)

MaureenMc My 12 yo listens to this one every night to fall asleep. I definitely wish they had more of the series on audio! 8mo

LeahBergen Oh, I‘ll have to listen to this! I love the series. 8mo

merelybookish @LeahBergen I've only ever read this one and was ready to plough through the entire series! Hence the disappointment! 8mo

merelybookish @MaureenMc How sweet! Makes me happy it still connects with a 12 year-old! 8mo

Listen up, #BetsyTacy fans! The next B-T Convention is coming for us! Mankato 2025, will I see you there? #MaudHartLovelace #BetsyTacyAndTib #BetsyTacyTib #EmilyOfDeepValley #DeepValley

MaureenMc I did not know this convention existed. Is it annual?? I am seriously considering trying to make this work. Thanks for posting! 10mo

LeahBergen Oh, this would be fun!! 🤩 10mo

Andrea313 @MaureenMc It happens every few years- 2009, 2012, and 2018 have been the most recent. There was supposed to be one in 2020, but we all know how that ended. Finally, finally it's coming around again, and I'll be sure to keep posting about it! If you're in Facebook, you can follow "The Betsy-Tacy Convention" for updates. 10mo

Andrea313 @LeahBergen I've been several times, it's always a lot of fun! Tours of Deep Valley sites, sometimes workshops, and speakers have included Meg Cabot, Jia Tolentino, and Laura Lippman. 10mo

quietjenn Oh, maybe? Plenty of time to make plans and it would be so fun … 10mo

Andrea313 @quietjenn YES, do it! I love that the date is announced so far out, plenty of time to make those plans.... 10mo

MaureenMc @Andrea313 I followed them on FB. I mentioned it to my daughter & she is definitely interested! 10mo

Andrea313 @MaureenMc Yay! So hope to see you there! 10mo

Pulchritude: beauty

“How rare pulchritude is among the Irish, I said to myself; therefore what a trouble is made when it does appear...“

CBee Lovely word! 10mo

Ruthiella This word always mixes me up because it sounds to me like it should mean the opposite. Maybe because of the similar sounding “putrid”? 10mo

rubyslippersreads I learned this word from the #BetsyTacy books. 10mo

Daisey I‘m with @Ruthiella. This word always sounds like it should be the opposite of beauty to me. 10mo
