Such a nice summer of reading fun books. Now I‘m back to textbooks, and in the wee hours, too. 😊

IriDas @kspenmoll thanks. For the most part, but they do keep me in reality, which is unfortunate. 😆 5d

This book had everything I love in historical fiction. It was well-written, well-researched, and had an admirable female main character. Its strong sense of time and place gave me a glimpse into a time in American history that I know little about. The entrenched, systemic racism was hard to read about, and so saddening, but it did serve to highlight Belle‘s incredible bravery and determination. ⬇️

julieclair As a bonus, I learned a lot about early manuscripts and the Morgan Library in New York City. I‘d love to visit there someday. 1w

Cuilin I got to visit the library May 2024 and it took my breath away. They also had a special Beatrix Potter exhibit which was really sweet. 1w

Good story and probably close to what happened. Photo is from an old newspaper. I liked part close to end where she talked to her father finally.

Theodora trying to decide what to read next.
Do you have any rules or guidelines for determining what you should read next?
For me, when picking something, I frequently pick something from a category or area that's different from the book I just read. I also might factor in how long it's been on my TBR list. However, there's been times I don't strictly follow these, and go with something that just catches my interest.

AnnCrystal ✨😸💫... if it's a series that I'm reading, and I have the next book, I continue (unless I need a break from the series). Otherwise, it's what catches me 🪄📚💫. 4w
