Love and Friendship | Jane Austen

Next up in Eng550: Jane Austen‘s Love and Freindship. Excited to take down a volume from last month‘s EBay find, the 1989 Folio Society Collected Works, and this is in the one volume I haven‘t already read! #summerschool #pemberlittens

LeahBergen This is the set I have. My favourite! 3y

KVanRead @LeahBergen Yes, I‘ve admired yours for some time so when I saw this one pop up on EBay I had to have it. #LitsyMadeMeDoIt or should I say Leah, lol! 3y
LeahBergen I‘m so happy to be a bad influence here. 😆 I find that everything about these editions (binding, font, wood engravings) really suit Austen‘s novels, don‘t you? I don‘t like really modern editions of her work. 🤫 3y
KVanRead @LeahBergen Yes. They are just perfect 💗 3y

I skipped the #bookstore prompt for #riotgrams because I didn‘t want to “accidentally” buy a bunch of new books. So now, for #summerschool, here‘s my small non-fiction shelf. (Some humour mixed in here as well.)

I was almost done reading this a few years ago when it became a casualty of overdue library books. I haven‘t finished it yet but what I read was excellent. I think it should be required reading with every high school American History course. It makes a case for not using textbooks to teach history at all but rather primary documents to get the truth and not the official press release of history.

tournevis The last chapter is, in fact, funny and perfect. I've used it in courses myself. Take it up again, if you can. I still laugh when I see a Champlain statue and think about how damned hot he would be dressed like that! 5y
marleed Omg, I recall reading my son‘s 5th grade social studies with him. His version of Christopher Columbus differed vastly than my Catholic school teaching nearly 30 years earlier. I‘m not sure if it was time or the public/private aspect but it was long ago history in either case and so so different. I still think about it. 5y

Back to work! I‘m the county‘s middle/high summer school librarian this year! Here are some newly purchased books to process. I might borrow a couple to read too! #summerschool #teachersofLitsy

One Man Guy | Michael Barakiva

Gay YA with multiple references to my music obsession, Rufus Wainwright...was so excited. But with tired tropes like the evil fat boss and the stuck up teacher with an English accent, dialog as scintillating as "show'em who's who!"... it feels dated and like an impersonation of a YA book. The potential for a great story is there, but this isn't it.

Paper writing is really getting in the way of my leisure reading! #flamingballofstress #summerschool #ratherbereadingGWTW

LibrarianJen I have a love hate relationship with that book. 7y
