I love finding signed editions at Barnes & Noble! And I love Poe, so I hope this is good!

📖 Young Thomas Hardy
📖 Thomas Hardy's Later Years
I already had these in a somewhat battered combined edition so I was beyond excited to find these beautiful first edition hardbacks with dust jacket covers at a local charity shop for only a few dollars! To whoever donated them - thank you! They will be cherished for a lifetime!

Fantastic biography of two groundbreaking sisters, novelists of great renown in their day, who have largely been forgotten. Engagingly written and so fascinating.
Well, @Centique , this latest purchase is completely YOUR FAULT.
😆😆
During a trip to Israel, in 1984, Roth took his friend David Plante---a gay, gentile writer---to the Orthodox quarter of Jerusalem, Me She'arim, where the two stood on a corner watching Hasidim milling about in their black coats and hats, the boys with their heads shorn except for long side curls.

Oh my goodness @LeahBergen have you read this book? It is Noel Streatfeild examining (fangirling over?) the life and works of E Nesbit. It is just SO delightful. I think 2024 might be the year to revisit my favourite classic childrens literature - this is enticing me in that direction as surely as the smell of fresh cookies. 😍😂 (library copy - i need to find my own copy)
#bookhaul Part 2
I‘ll be reading Sister Novelists in February with my IRL book club. And, after having Hild waiting on my shelves for 10 years, thought I‘d get the sequel (such a gorgeous cover!) and try to read both in the new year.
I adore this #Bookmory calendar visual of my monthly reads. Had another great month with some fantastic books. The tagged was my favourite read in September.

This was the 2nd op shop I visited yesterday. Despite checking the fan in the shop, it was broken when I took it out of the bag! I think I can fix it enough for it to be a spare fan to use to rehearse for my ballet exam which is the Spanish variation from Coppelia Act 2. I forgot my 🪥 & paste because before I left the 🏠 yesterday I forgot to brush my teeth, that is how tired my 🧠 is. I used the salts in the 🛀 last night. Grand total $19.25
