Hester: A Novel | Laurie Lico Albanese

Why does stuff like this drive me so crazy? It‘s jarring and sort of takes me out of the story for a sec.

Greek Myths: A Wonder Book for Girls & Boys | Nathaniel Hawthorne

These little people, quite recovered from their fatigue, had set about gathering checkerberries, and now came clambering to meet their playfellows.
Thus reunited, the whole party went down through Luther Butler‘s orchard, and made the best of their way home to Tanglewood.

Hester: A Novel | Laurie Lico Albanese

Starting this #buddyread
Hester Prynne is one of my favorite heroines. ♥️🟥🔴
This book is starting off great. I already love Isobel- both of them.
How men treated women and accused them of witchcraft is just appalling.
Halloween 2017 my husband and I went to Salem Massachusetts. It was a fascinating day.

Librarybelle So awesome! 1w

Cortg My daughter and I went two years ago in October. It was fascinating and a day we‘ll always remember. I remember going quite a bit as a kid when we lived in MA but todays Salem during the month of October is something else! 1w

tpixie @Cortg @Librarybelle Yes! A day to remember. Riding the train & subway with everyone in costume was also fun. Salem it was so interesting. There was a beautiful art museum there that we were pleasantly surprised about. Inside was a reconstructed Chinese house, which was incredible. 1w

Librarybelle So cool! 1w

tpixie @Librarybelle yes! One of our favorite vacations. Boston was amazing also. 1w

I‘ve struggled to get into a few audio books since I finished my last, probably because I just haven‘t had enough consecutive listening time. This one sucked me right in - I‘m ahead of myself for #literarycrew maybe that will be my vibe for 2025? 🤣🤣

AmyG This was a wonderful book! 4w
