I‘m still working on (and enjoying) the tagged book (thanks to my bad habit of having several reads going at once), but for those of you interested in a sequel …
#hashtagbrigade #kindledeals #kindlefreebies
I loved this book. I can identify with both ladies—Mrs. Willoughby and her lists, and Mrs. Fowler “dipping into” her books. I just don‘t know how Belle got so many men to marry her. 🤷♀️
This is my first Richmal Crompton, but it definitely won‘t be my last.

So many lovely, thoughtful birthday treasures from @LeahBergen 😍
I remember Calling All Girls!/Young Miss—it‘ll be so much fun to read one again. The vintage ballet book is adorable, and this is a BLWW I‘ve been wanting to read.
❤️ the goodies in the Betsy-Tacy pencil pouch! The Deep Valley card is absolutely frameable. I hope Nicky & Sadie don‘t get any ideas about cooking from the other cute card. 😹
Thank you so much for everything! 😘
My February #readyourkindle picks. I‘m really excited to have a couple of ARCs on the list, since I‘m woefully behind. 😆
When I first started this (especially the “book within a book”), I wasn‘t sure I would make it to the end. However, “The Bastard of Pinsk” got more interesting as it suddenly galloped towards its conclusion, reminding me of a slightly risque Gilbert & Sullivan operetta. The story of the real, rather mundane romance behind it all was sweet.

I‘m recycling January‘s #readyourkindle. Hope I do better in February. 😆

My January picks. (I just realized I have two Titanic-related books this month. My obsession is showing. 😆)

Catching up on last month‘s #PersephoneClub book. I‘m fascinated by stories of the Lowell Mill girls, but this one is particularly bleak. It took me a long time to finish because my feelings of dread kept growing stronger and stronger, as did my anger at most of the characters. Poor Emmeline never had a chance.
Such lovely books from @LeahBergen and Johnny Bergen! I‘ve been dying to read the tagged book. And the handwritten version of Anne of Green Gables looks magical. Thanks so much, dear friend (and your little dog, too. 😁)
P. S. It looks like we were kindred spirits in choosing gifts this year. 👒
Here are my two choices for December 2025. I‘ve wanted to read Lady Rose ever since learning that it was a favorite of the Queen Mum‘s. One Afternoon sounds interesting, and this would give me an excuse to buy a copy. 😄
#PersephoneClub
Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate! I think Littens can definitely agree that we‘re grateful for books. 😃🦃📚
This was a low pick for me. Interesting, but depressing. My favorite character was Miss Spooner, followed by the tiger, who should have eaten Richard while it had the chance. 😏
This isn‘t my copy(I read the ebook), but I certainly prefer the grey Persephone cover over this artwork. The photo depicts tea harvesting in 1945.
#PersephoneClub
Not my favorite Margery Sharp, but fun nonetheless.
#FurrowedMiddleBrowClub
Donna, thank you so much for the Ozzy book gift. I haven‘t heard of the tagged book, but I look forward to reading it. And the ruby-red journal is fabulous! (Especially with the text hidden in the lines.) And all just in time for the Wicked movie. 👠🌈🧹
I didn‘t realize you‘d changed your Litsy name, so had missed some of your posts. I‘ll go back and catch up. Thanks again for the thoughtful gift. 😘
I can‘t believe we‘re already choosing books for 2025! Here are my picks for January.
The first is the latest FM book published, and the title of the second is a slight nod to the Wicked movie coming to theaters soon. 😄👠
#FurrowedMiddleBrowClub
A candid shot of @LeahBergen and her book collection. 🤣
Have a fabulous birthday, dear friend! 😘
Mrs. Shinn most certainly wouldn‘t let Zaneeta read this steamy romance novel. Elinor Glyn is probably more my style, but I couldn‘t resist requesting this #ARC based on one of my favorite musicals. I loved finding all the Easter eggs, starting with the MMC‘s name. #NetGalley #ChaucerRabelaisBalzac
I enjoyed this, especially Verily‘s attitude of “just getting on with it.”
I‘m including the “cosy, silvery barrage-balloons” because they reminded me of my mom telling me that she and her girlfriends walked by some every day on their way to school. They each picked one and named it after a movie star; my mom‘s was Humphrey, for Humphrey Bogart. 😄

I‘m so sad about the death of Maggie Smith. It also made me realize I‘d never read this book or seen the movie. I watched the movie last night. I think Maggie was always in her prime, no matter what her age or the role. Just magnificent.
Also coming in just under the wire for #spinsterseptember.
Plus there‘s a tie-in with The Lady of Shalott. #LMMAdjacent @BarbaraJean
Anastasia and I have one big thing in common—we‘re both list makers. With her secret notebook, she reminds me a bit of Harriet the Spy.
#ChildrensClassicRead2024
I have a feeling many Littens will identify with this cartoon. 😆 #notebooks #stationeryaddict
My #September2024 picks for #ReadYourKindle. Box Hill must really want to be read, because the “wheel of reading” picked it again this month. 🤣
* Not see colors (my brother is colorblind, so it doesn‘t seem that bad to me)
* Neither, but if I have to choose, how
* Past
* Passion
* Summer (though I‘d prefer spring)
* Fly

Nicky is having some tummy issues, so I decided to make him his own planner, to keep track of his meds and symptoms. Of course, he had to be completely involved in the process. 😹
Happy International Cat Day to all who celebrate. #catsoflitsy #littenkitten
As we know from the movies, sometimes a young lady will never be a nun. I‘m rooting for Hermione and Alphonsus.
I really enjoyed this book and plan to read the sequel. And I would love to taste some of the Shoppe cookies.

As someone whose middle name is Claire, this hits a little too close to home. 🤣
(From TheScribblerCMB on Twitter.)
It looks like the newest Dean St. Press book is available for preorder, at least for Kindle and Kobo. #FurrowedMiddleBrowClub
A free Jane Eyre-inspired mystery, and a 99¢ #JaneAdjacent Persuasion retelling. #kindledeal #ebookdeals

Yes, KLS, your 200-year-old vampire boyfriend was why I watched! 🤣 (I still have my Josette‘s music box.)
I found it very touching that the author learned about DS from his wife and wanted to honor her with this book.
