Happy Star Wars Day! Chewy got a permanent just for the occasion. 😂🌪🌈
The top two books are Tenant in two volumes, from a 12-volume Brontë set that was my mom‘s. The bottom edition I bought for the lovely Edmund Dulac illustrations.

Inspired by @LeahBergen I thought I would post some people on spines. 😊
Happy Birthday, Betsy! Maud Hart Lovelace was born 130 years ago today. At her fifth birthday party, she met her lifelong best friend Bick (aka Tacy), who gave her a little glass pitcher as a gift. #betsytacy
Wishing a very happy 96th birthday to Queen Elizabeth II! 🎂👑
Happy Velociraptor Awareness Day! 😄🦕🦖
Happy Easter to all who celebrate! 🐣🐰
Posting a month-appropriate favorite, plus I‘m late in sharing my vintage copy of Four Gardens. #FurrowedMiddleBrowClub
I‘d love to #travel to Bath, take #walks in Jane‘s footsteps, and have #tea.

Mr. Woodhouse‘s preoccupation with #sickness is how I first learned the word valetudinarian. No gruel for me, thanks! 😂

Continuing North & South and may try to get to The Other Bennet Sister, both with the #PemberLittens. But as a #moodreader, who knows what will happen?
Too many female #siblings and not enough suitable suitors. 😄

All the #parents (or at least Mrs. Bennet) in #Pride & #Prejudice want is for their daughters to receive #proposals from #rich men.

An interesting chart from JASNA about the wealth of Austen‘s characters. Just in case Mr. Darcy wasn‘t already dreamy enough for you, he‘s also a billionaire. 😂

Finally Marianne got some sense and realized to whom she should be joined in #marriage.

Mr. Collins is always good for a laugh. #laughter

P. S @UwannaPublishme My mom and I used to joke that this book was about Barnabas Collins. (That was certainly the Mr. Collins we preferred. 😂🦇)
I got my #love of Jane Austen from my mother, so here are a few books from her collection. (The book in the lower-left hand corner is Love & Freindship, but the endpapers are cuter than the cover. 😊)

Some recent #bookmail , including the latest #BetsyTacy Society newsletter. The tagged book was one I‘ve seen @LeahBergen and other Littens post about. But the one I‘m most excited about is Felicia, a children‘s book about a cat who turns into a little girl. I‘ve never seen a copy that wasn‘t priced at hundreds of dollars, so I was thrilled to find a copy on eBay for $13 (including postage! 😸)
The 200th Anniversary edition of one of my favorite Austens (although I know not everyone likes Emma 😄). #hundreds (200) #200PnPcovers
#Gossip is one of the most popular #hobbies in Jane Austen‘s books, sometimes engaged in over #embroidery. Whether it‘s who has moved from #city to #country, the cost of #conveyances and #houses, or whose #children are #dancing with whom at #balls, many a #friendship includes making sport of one‘s neighbours.
#200PNPcovers (I decided to catch up all in one post. 😊)
A picture of Margaret and Henry Lennox from my vintage copy, with my Folio edition peeking out underneath. #PemberLittens
Two of my favorites (the bottom two) and one book still on my TBR list (the top one, with apologies to @TrishB ) are currently on sale for Kindle. #kindledeal #ebook
You‘ve outdone yourself, @LeahBergen ! I‘ve been drooling over that Girls‘ School encyclopedia for ages, as well as I‘d Rather Be Reading.
Nicky and Sadie may be inspired to do their dissertations on the scholarly feline tomes (Sadie will certainly be inspired to play with the sponge, one of her favorite kinds of toys). ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Kathryn‘s favorite book is The Wizard of Oz, and her journey somewhat mirrors Dorothy‘s (although much grittier). I enjoyed spotting all the Oz references (both book and movie, although this novel takes place in 1935, before the movie was made. That explains the silver shoes instead of the Ruby Slippers, which were invented for Technicolor.)
Part of my #WeekendReading.
A woodcut from my mom‘s OG BOTM Club Wuthering Heights. I grew up reading this edition, along with the matching Jane Eyre. #PemberLittens #WanderingThroughWutheringHeights
However, I do know I‘m taking a book. 🤣 Happy New Year, Littens! 🥂🎉🥳
@LeahBergen Thank you so much for the lovely Christmas parcel! I sense two themes—food and Green Gables. I love everything! Thank you for being such a dear, thoughtful friend. 😘
P. S. Nicky was fascinated by the string! 😹
Something to remember during the holidays. I think this would also apply to Christmas books. 😂 #ThinkPositiveBePositive

I had to show off my favorite Christmas gift, my Xmas Rex from @BookieMary 🎄🦖🎁 So @DinoMom you‘re not the only one with a dinosaur on your mantel. 😄
Merry Christmas to all who celebrate! #merrychristmas #happyholidays
The tagged book is my #1, always and forever. Some of the rest are rereads, but they‘re all books I loved this year. #Top21od21
It‘s obvious I ❤️ vintage fiction, but I see a lot of new books on everyone else‘s lists that tempt me to branch out in 2022.
Thanks for tagging me, @Nute and @Ruthiella 😊
I don‘t know who‘s already been tagged, so I‘ll invite anyone who wants to play, because I‘m so curious to see everyone‘s faves.
Lots of Agatha Christie books on sale for Kindle today. Most seem to be $1.99. #kindledeal #agathachristieclub
I‘ve got several books going, so hope this #20in4Readathon will inspire me to catch up. @Andrew65 Good luck with your new endeavors! 😊
I‘m only about halfway through, so no spoilers please, but can‘t Jocasta do better than Quentin? She even wants to pop in and clean his awful fish flat!
(Sadly, this is not my copy; I‘m reading on Kindle. 😏)

My tentative #readathon plans. (@Read4life hope it‘s okay I “borrowed” your artwork. 😊) #NovelNovemberReadathon #33by33 Readathon #AnyWayYouReadathon BTW, I think Anne is really using her imagination on that Chronicles of Avonlea cover. 😂
No wonder I like the Creature so much—he loves to read! 😄 Happy Halloween! 🎃👻🍫
Wishing a wonderful, book-filled birthday to @LeahBergen 🎂🎉📚 Have a perfect day, dear friend! 😘
For fans of the movie, the book is a #kindlefreebie today. (I‘m a fan of Binx. 😸🐈⬛) #kindledeal #ebook
This novel about the influenza epidemic in 1918 Colorado is fascinating so far, but there‘s one line I just can‘t relate to.
The two sisters often tell each other “Dream of clowns,” the way most of us would say “Pleasant dreams.” It‘s because they have fond memories of a childhood trip to the circus, but clowns are the last thing I want to dream of! 😳 #coulrophobia #ARC #HappyHalloween
