My tbr list for #hauntedshelf #letsgopoints. Ambitious but I still have my other challenges ongoing, Octavia Butler books for #authoramonth and #Samoa books for #foodandlit. I‘m very excited about these books even though I know I won‘t get to them all. Must also include my #whattheDickens books!!

Rereads: Frankenstein, Dracula, books 1-2 of All Souls. I‘d love to finish all these books beyond the trilogy!

Emma | Jane Austen
post image

I've been speeding through this one and was coming to the close when a chance day hike came my way. What a pleasure to end as I started, surrounded by the gorgeous outdoors! I've read Emma many times and in many humors, and this time I really tried to notice the character's finer qualities. Obviously her change of heart is deeply felt and her care for her father drives nearly everything she does- but I will still never truly love this book. 👇👇👇

Andrea313 And that's OK! Maybe someday it will sweep me away; until then, I'll let Jane stay challenging me. #PemberLittens #JaneAustenThenAndNow 1d
Crinoline_Laphroaig Excellent point! We all have our favorites. Marianne from Sense and Sensibility and her dramatics always wears me out. 17h
Andrea313 @Crinoline_Laphroaig Completely understandable! Even though Emma is Not For Me, I very much love that Austen created such solid, strong, unique female characters who are very much their own people. And I love reading through them all year after year to see what changes. 16h

Thank you @PuddleJumper for the graphic.
All right #BlackCatCrew here are my Team Leader picks for #HauntedShelf for books: The Witches of Eastwick by John Updike, Frankenstein by Mary Shelley & The Exorcist by William Peter Blatty.
This isn't a buddy read. You can read these or any other Team Leaders book picks for an extra 15pts on top of whatever other points they count for 🐈‍⬛

KT1432 I think I may finally take a stab (😬) at The Exorcist lol! 2d
julieclair I‘m going to read Frankenstein with the #HashtagBrigade ! 2d

Second to last book club book for the year. Obviously I've heard of the story before, but this is my first time reading it. Just what I imagined so far.

This may be my most controversial post.
I prayed to the book gods with the upmost of respect while making my Travel Les Mis book.
I don‘t want to get behind further, & just can‘t carry the full book on vacation.
This book was waiting in the wild to be used & loved.
With an X-Acto blade I cut the cover, several of the pages, & the appendix in the back. Now Les MIs can return to France, but in the beautiful countryside

Ruthiella At one point in my life I would have been horrified but now-do what you need to do. 😅 Just recycle ♻️ the pages if you can. (edited) 3d
tpixie @Ruthiella Yes! It was a very difficult decision. I felt like the boy who was taking advantage of the tree in The Giving Tree. I did give the book thanks. I‘ll keep the book & pages until I‘m done reading the book, and then I may do some sort of artwork craft in celebration. 💛📒💛 3d
dabbe It will now be the best-loved-well-worn book. Have a lovely vacay, too! 💙🤍♥️ 3d

tpixie @dabbe yes! Thx & Thx! 💙🤍❤️ (edited) 3d
Gleefulreader I actually love this as a way to still enjoy the book and then to use it creatively when you are done! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 2d
Cuilin Fabulous, bon voyage 🇫🇷 2d
tpixie @dabbe yes! I remember it as a young child an older friend told me that Books love to be marked in and Dog eared because that means they‘re well loved. And then I got older and started feeling bad about Dog earring and quit. So I thought of her today. 2d
tpixie @Gleefulreader it is the only way that I could think to do it so I could still underline and not get too far behind. I‘m trying not to read it on an e-book. 2d
tpixie @Cuilin merci! 2d

This is one of the only books I reread. It‘s comforting for me and I needed it this summer. It‘s exactly what I needed. Thank you Jane Austen. PS. Sometimes I settle with watching the BBC P&P too.

dabbe I hear ya on this one! 🧡🩶💜 3d
