A new addition to my LM Montgomery shelves!

This is the diary of Montgomery‘s cousin, Myrtle Webb, who owned Green Gables and embraced its popularity as a literary landmark.

The Planner Book!: Stylish Projects to Creatively Organize and Commemorate the Day to Day | Dawn DeVries Sokol, Jean Sagendorph

My 2024 reading planner. The B is supposed to stand for Bridgerton, but since I‘m only a casual fan, I‘ve decided the B stands for books. 😄

Vanity Fair | William Thackeray

An illustration from my #FolioSociety edition. As pretty as it is, I‘ll probably be reading on Kindle for portability. 😊

Mr Tibbits's Catholic School | Ysenda Maxtone Graham

I‘m currently reading (and really enjoying!) this #SlightlyFoxed book about a South Kensington Catholic boy‘s school. It follows its history from 1934 until the present day with lots of tidbits about eccentric teachers, headmasters, and quotes from past students.

The top two books are Tenant in two volumes, from a 12-volume Brontë set that was my mom‘s. The bottom edition I bought for the lovely Edmund Dulac illustrations.

Taken by the Hand | O. Douglas

Here‘s another book I have on the go and it‘s my first (but definitely not my last!) by this Scottish cozy middlebrow author.

Twenty-five-year-old Beatrice, a shy homebody, is left at loose ends when her mother dies; she has a comfortable income but no home to call her home. She moves from Glasgow to London stay at her wealthy brother‘s house but as the family can‘t be bothered with her she strikes out to find where she fits in.

EvieBee However! I do need to see the rest of that cute cover in pink with the 🫖. 2y

Centique Oh my god that cover 😳 2y

DebinHawaii @LeahBergen The republished cover is SO BAD! 😱😳😂 2y

rubyslippersreads Does the #littlebrasshand think it‘s a biography? 😂 2y

LeahBergen @Centique @DebinHawaii It would be more fitting for a serial killer novel. 😆 2y

LeahBergen @rubyslippersreads It thinks it surely deserves one. 😆 2y
