pickAn engaging tale! The romance is well woven throughout the story. I love the funny and sometimes literal phrases used that are supposed to be said in jest. It‘s quite the writing style and I‘ll see if the author can continue it in the next book.
There are certainly some loose ends that have gotten me to take the bait and continue the series.

@kspenmoll your haiku is adorable, definitely gives a sense of summer!

@KadaGul I admire the quote you included: “Live in the sunshine. Swim in the sea. Drink in the wild air.” Ralph Waldo Emerson Perfect for SUMMER ☀️

@BookwormAHN I LOVE the sticker on the back of the envelope, super fantastical 🌹 I do agree, sometimes one just needs a 🌈 🦄 🦋 🐈!

From the amazing host of the card swap @TheBookHippie
Thanks fellow #MittenLitten for all the CLOUD items! Hopefully they offer more shade than rain. ☺️

A super cool cancelled envelope from the ALASKAN FRONTIER! @Cheryl_Russell I hope to someday make it to your great state!
#SummerCardSwap 2025
@dabbe I noticed all the effort you put into the swap, from the return label, created a card, and the fun activity sheet! The stickers are super cool 😎
#SummerCardSwap 2025
The envelopes ✉️ have gone out in the mail today! I hope they reach everyone in time. If not, there‘s still the whole summer to enjoy the contents! ☺️
Started this #Audiobook on #hoopla today! Already listened a couple of hours and lovin the snarky vibe.
Thanks to the lovely @jenniferw88 I received my second #SummerCardSwap in the mail today!
I don‘t blame you for staying inside and eating a yummy treat! 🍦
With my local chapter of #JASNA we were fortunate to see a few selections of the rare books collection at the Detroit Public Library today. #MittenLitten
Isn‘t this just gorgeous?! 🥰
Fine Bindings, 1912, London
Poems by Tennyson
Moroccan leather with pearls and stones
Starting this one to see what all the hype is about.
One of my coworkers left this bookmark at my desk 🥰 They know I read books 📚
#PemberLittens
I was able to snag this P&P retelling for free before the price went up. Thanks #BookBub!
Looks super cute - how Austen got “inspiration” for her Pride and Prejudice novel.
I received my first #SummerCardSwap from @BkClubCare ! ☺️
I‘ve participated in some other card and book(ish) swaps. I try to check @LitsyEvents every month, so I can spot any readalongs I want to participate in or other swaps to sign up for. lol I too do extra stuff on work time! Can‘t say I have any summer titles in mind. Yes, this year I started participating in the #ReadYourKindle challenge. And two book clubs keep my months full of reading!📖
pickBook Club discussion WITH the author tonight (5/2025), via zoom!
This was such a sweet tale of Elizabeth and Darcy with witty banter and a flirtation that leads to so much more! Darcy isn‘t one not to converse with those he doesn‘t know well, instead he‘s more forthcoming. Even Anne and Georgiana are more confident. There were several paraphrased quotes from P&P!
I highly recommend for any #PemberLittens
Lovin‘ this trilogy series!!! Lots of twists and turns and dire consequences for the main characters. Has me on the edge of my seat wanting to find if everyone will get what they desire before time runs out.
Listening to the #audiobook on #hoopla!
@TheBookHippie released the recipient list for #SummerCardSwap 2025! I‘m super excited and already bought the notecards and the stamps to send them out. Now I just need to add some SUMMER and mail them ☺️
#LittleFreeLibrary has teamed up with the new The Librarians: The Next Chapter TV show on TNT. On Sunday May 25, 2025, the participating LFLs will have special show swag, between 12-2pm.
I‘m super excited there are two LFL near me - a new one too, in Michigan! #MittenLitten
Stopped at my local B&N today to browse! I came across these HUGE cardboard books 📚 Too fun!!!

pickI‘m so glad I was able to re-read this Jane Austen classic! It‘s been years and was a delightful listen! Henry Tilley calls Catherine out so many times for her overactive imagination and jumping to conclusions based off of her reading novels! Austen did a great satire on the Gothic novels of her time!
I finished ahead of the #JaneAdjacent readalong and am prepared for Victorian Book Club‘s discussion early next month.
A happy coincidence for the #LittensLoveRomance two chapters a day readalong with @StayCurious ! It is MAY and the book‘s content happens in MAY!!!
pickThis is 3.5 story in the series!
It‘s a fun “jumper” story to give more closure for the previous couple and to open the story up for the next book!
I‘m so glad I came across this readalong with @BarbaraJean !
I already read The Wreath, so I‘ll pick up with July‘s book of The Wife!
Listening to this #Audiobook for #JaneAdjacent readalong with @Crinoline_Laphroaig this month! And it worked out that it will also be for Victorian Book Club discussion early next month!
I‘m all caught up through chapter 14. #ReadAChapterADay
#SummerCardSwap 2025
I just signed up! I love getting snail mail! ☺️

I‘m not sure who the host is, but thank you for coordinating!
Happy Mother‘s Day!
My daughter knows me well and got me this Pride and Prejudice card game! 🥰
I stopped in at the Hallmark, Little Green Apple, today and I stumbled upon TWO ROWS OF BOOKS!!!
I never knew they stocked books! They‘re not even books made into their movies. They‘re commercial fiction and popular titles out now!
Has anyone else seen this at their Hallmark?
There‘s still time to download FREE #audiobooks!!!
May 9 and 10, 2025

I got the tagged book and another companion story to a different series for free. Yes, they‘re audio and not ebooks!
I‘m reading this from my April #ReadYourKindle challenge.
It‘s a shorter story, but still sweet and well developed. A sea pirate is trying to retire on land. While she a Scottish lass is trying to do her duty by her family all the while wanting so much more from life.
so-soI finished just in time to discuss at Victorian Book Club!
This was an aggravating book, as Sue was very contrary in her ideals and Jude went along with her whims. The narrative circled and I felt like we were getting nowhere. There is a shocker that I didn‘t see coming.
#ReadYourKindle
I wasn‘t able to read April‘s pick, so I‘m going to be a little ambitious and see if I can‘t read two ebooks, plus my other book club picks, in May.
#Two4Tuesday
1. Yes, about 500. Over 200 of them are my #PnPCovers collection! ☺️
2. A super engaging story. I can‘t wait to read the rest of the series!
Anyone can play!
#Two4Tuesday
1. Yes, I do. Probably one of a few who do.
2. Yes, money affects this character enough to make a change in their behavior.
pickFinished this #audiobook and I‘m intrigued enough to continue the series! The ending had a lot of action and unexpected twists and turns. In a sense this was a slow book, not a lot of action, it was more an “in your head” type of story with lots of questioning and thought process by the main character. I‘m rooting for Scarlet and Julian! ☺️
pickThe last chapter, again, in Xaden‘s POV - no spoilers!
Another engaging tale! Some unexpected things happened that will be interesting to see how they play out in the series books to come. I‘m still shipping Xaden and Violet!
Though I‘m probably going to have to wait awhile before the Graphic Audio comes out for Onyx Storm. I will not listen to the normal audiobook; I need Gabriel Michael as Xaden‘s voice! 😉
Started the tagged book for Victorian Book Club.
Anytime a ship or pirates is mentioned, it catches my attention.
His imagination ran away with him. Though I do have to admit a daily mutiny would be terrifying!
Mostly new cast for the librarians, but still the same Library! They‘ll have to save the world from bad people who want to steal the magic!
I‘m so looking forward to the new season!
pickI very much appreciated the world building of both land and sea kingdoms. Of course, I like the sea fae and pirates 🏴☠️ better! Their voices each hold a song that can either aid or harm someone. The ship was totally giving me Flying Dutchman vibes from POTC, because it could “sail” beneath water! And I admire that Erik, the Ever King, once he earned Livia‘s love and he gave love he didn‘t do a 180, he kept most of his ruthless pirate badassness!
#PemberLittens
My local library #SHPL in Southeast, MI ✋🏻 is celebrating Jane‘s birthday in June! I plan on attending 🥰
Checked the book out from the library, so I could follow along as I listened to the Graphic Audio immersive audiobook! I‘ll be starting part two, so a little over halfway done!
I came across an article about reading the most popular book from the year one was born. I looked up my year and it‘s the tagged book. I have not read it.
Here‘s my April 2025 #ReadYourKindle book selections.
Goal to read one book from the four selected numbers.
#Libby has a #TogetherWeRead where there are NO HOLDS and UNLIMITED QTY on the designated book!
I spotted this last week Tuesday, 3/25/25.
From the latest book club pick, one of the lines was “She found a pirate 🏴☠️ romance from the ‘80s that‘s definitely seen better days,…”
I love finding little pirate references!
Did you know your library card grants you access to more than just your local library‘s digital material?!
Follow the steps.
