Joseph doesn't care that I'm trying to read a large annotated edition. He needs my lap more than the book does, apparently. #dogsoflitsy

Thank you so much @Karisa ! I‘ve been wanting to read this one for awhile now.
@maleficentbookdragon thank you for organizing it again.

I'm planning on revisiting some gems of EA Poe's, my favorite spooky author. 🖤🐦⬛🖤

Poe = mystery. Not much more to be said except that this annotated version is incredibly interesting with many insights into the time period, word usage, and the life of the maestro himself. Even The Alan Parsons Project knew what to title their album in homage to Poe (one of my favorite albums, btw). 🖤🐦⬛🖤
Book mail is the best mail! And finding a pristine HC copy of one of Maria Tatar‘s annotated books on Abe for $7 makes it even better. I don‘t buy a lot of physical books these days - too hard to hold and the font size, for some reason, won‘t get any bigger no matter how many times I stab the book with my index finger - but I will always buy an annotated Tatar. 🩷💛🩷

I prefer 1st-person POV. Not only does it allow me to truly get inside the main character's head, but that narrator is usually unreliable, so it becomes a puzzle for me to figure out what is true and what isn't. That's why Poe and Doyle are my favorite authors: usually Poe's narrators are insane murderers and Watson doesn't always tell us everything re: Sherlock's cases. 🖤

My number one choice for a #ClassicYouRead is Pride and Prejudice but Persuasion is a very close second. 💜
I don‘t own as many copies as I do P&P but here are some of the editions I own
