MicheleinPhilly Damn, girl. Glad to know COVID hasn‘t slowed your book binging. 😂 4y

Reviewsbylola Totally hasn‘t slowed down my book buying. Just the reading part. 🤪 @MicheleinPhilly (edited) 4y

MicheleinPhilly I don‘t even have COVID and that‘s been in the shitter for me too. 😒 4y

Reviewsbylola So frustrating. It‘s annoying when reading is your escape and you just can‘t do it. @MicheleinPhilly 4y

LeahBergen 😆😆 Yay for The Long View! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Oh, and I ADORE Hitty (and have Savage Appetites waiting on my true crime shelf). 4y

BookNAround I did the same thing because of @LeahBergen ! On the plus side, I already owned one of them so I didn‘t have to get all of them. 😁 4y

batsy @mabell @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick @MaureenMc @Reggie ❤️❤️ 4y

batsy @BookNAround Aha! The @LeahBergen effect is boosting the economy 😂 4y

rubyslippersreads @batsy @BookNAround The @LeahBergen effect is ruining my personal economy. 🤣🤣🤣 4y

LeahBergen @rubyslippersreads Oh, you KNOW it. You are the worst! 🤣🤣 4y

batsy Many thanks @LeahBergen 😘 I've been staring at these books since they arrived 😂 4y

LeahBergen @batsy And aren‘t they pretty little things?? The covers, the flaps, the afterwords! I can see myself buying many more as they are released. 😆 Maybe we should read one together? 4y

batsy @LeahBergen I was just going to suggest the same! I'll be happy to start with any one of these. Maybe a nice summery August read? 4y

erzascarletbookgasm Hahaha! I was naughty and went clickety click too but still waiting for my copies to arrive (this covid times!). Gorgeous right? And a few Dean Street Press books, too. 😊 All because of @LeahBergen with her impeccable taste and eye on books! 😈 💸😂😘 4y

batsy @erzascarletbookgasm Ooh yes! I also have a few Dean Street Press books in the wishlist because of @LeahBergen 😂❤️ I hope your books arrive soon and you can enjoy the pretty covers 😍 4y

LeahBergen @batsy Perfect! Whichever one you feel like. 😊 4y

LeahBergen @erzascarletbookgasm @batsy Ooo, which Dean Street Press ones? Ive been enjoying them so much lately. 4y

batsy @LeahBergen @erzascarletbookgasm I've got my eye on Begin Again, Beneath the Visiting Moon, Cecil, Alice, and I think all of the D. E. Stevenson books you mentioned 😁 4y

vivastory Those covers! 4y

rubyslippersreads @batsy @erzascarletbookgasm @leahbergen Those all sound so good. Also, the publisher of the tagged books is reissuing one of my favorite books,

O, the Brave Music

batsy @rubyslippersreads Ooh, nice! I hadn't heard of this before and just looked up a review of it; sounds good. I'm planning to hopefully collect all of the books in this series 😆 4y

Centique These are Truly Beautiful Things 😍 4y

Ruthiella Love those covers and also the concept behind the reissues...so much great stuff that deserves a wider audience!😀 4y

batsy @Centique They are lovely 😍 4y

batsy @Ruthiella Yes! More intriguing titles coming out, too. I'm so glad publishers are doing this. 4y

britt_brooke So pretty! 4y

LeahBergen @saresmoore Yes, please! 4y

batsy @saresmoore Please join us! If August is too soon with the little one arriving soon, we can delay it... I think @LeahBergen and I might have other books to read 😆 4y

saresmoore I think it will be a perfect thing to read for late-night feedings, so August sounds great. 😊 4y

Suet624 I loved reading all these comments of book lust. 4y

The Brontesaurus: An A�Z of Charlotte, Emily and Anne Bront� (and Branwell) | John Sutherland

I started reading bits and pieces of this book to fact-check the similarities between the characters of Caroline and Shirley with the real life Anne and Emily Brontë (in Charlotte‘s novel, Shirley) ... and now I can‘t stop. This alphabetical look at Brontë lore is erudite and witty and an absolute delight.

LeahBergen Fellow buddy readers: do not read the comment below unless you‘ve read Ch. 28: Phoebe 6y

LeahBergen The rabid dog incident is EXACTLY what happened to Emily Brontë. Right down to the cauterizing bit. ? 6y

Susannah I mean, “Brontesaurus.” The title alone is worth four stars. 6y

batsy @LeahBergen Oh my! I could *feel* that pain when she described it. 6y

batsy Wow 😍 I must have this! #blameitonLeah 6y

erzascarletbookgasm I am stacking! 6y

Kimberlone Clever title! 6y

Reviewsbylola Can‘t forget Branwell! You‘ve made me really want to read Shirley! 6y

LeahBergen @Susannah Right?? 😆 6y

LeahBergen @batsy @erzascarletbookgasm It‘s a really fun little book to dip in and out of. 👍🏻 6y

LeahBergen @Kimberlone Isn‘t it? 😄 6y

LeahBergen @Reviewsbylola I‘m so into it (Shirley) right now but be forewarned: I found it a bit of a slog for the first several chapters. 6y

Hooked_on_books Love the title! 6y

merelybookish This is amazing! And I love the parentheses. Does it support the Caroline/Anne and Shirley/Emily theory? 6y

saresmoore And it has the best title! Thank you for sharing! 6y

Blaire @LeahBergen oh wow! It was a very vivid description. 6y

Blaire This sounds like a lot of fun. 6y

RohitSawant Obviously stacking! 😄 6y

#BookMail Elizabeth Rynecki (a Litsy-er!) shares the moving story of her great-grandfather's life as an artist, his death in a concentration camp and her own search for his looted artwork. I'm so excited to start this beautiful book, @Erynecki .

TheKidUpstairs Beautiful cover. Sounds amazing. 8y

LeahBergen @TheKidUpstairs It's beautiful inside, too. It has a big colour insert of his artwork and there are lots of other illustrations throughout the text. 8y
