It‘s been snowing (and freezing!) here today. This calls for some hot chocolate and a vintage children‘s book, don‘t you think? 😉

ScientistSam I 💗 everything about this! 3y

Megabooks Love your mug!! 3y

Ruthiella Nice to see you pairing children‘s literature with a nonalcoholic drink for once...or did you spike it? 😂😂😂 3y

LeahBergen @ScientistSam Aww, thanks! 😘 3y

LeahBergen @Megabooks Thanks! I love anything with those old Penguin stripes. 🐧 3y

MsMelissa Your mug 😍 3y

LeahBergen @Ruthiella Haha! Nope, it‘s not spiked. I can‘t say that this book won‘t be paired with a glass of red wine later this evening, though! 😆 3y

LeahBergen @MsMelissa It goes with the lovely matching Pride and Prejudice mug that I received from YOU. 🥰 The husband is having HIS hot chocolate out of that one right now. True story. 😂😂 3y

MsMelissa I love it! My husband is currently sitting in his recliner beside me reading, but we don‘t have any hot beverages at the moment. I can‘t believe I haven‘t bought one of those mugs for myself yet, although I did recently order a very similar mug which I hope arrives sometime this week 🤞🏻 3y

MsMelissa ...and I just visited the Penguin Canada shop. This is all your fault 🤣 3y

LeahBergen @MsMelissa Oops! I can‘t wait to see all of your new mugs. 🤣🤣 3y

Freespirit Stay warm🌞 3y

Lreads This sounds wonderful! 😍 3y

Suet624 Is that hand a bookmark?? 3y

UwannaPublishme Keep warm over there! 3y

LeahBergen @Freespirit @UwannaPublishme @QuietlyLaura 😘😘😘 3y

LeahBergen @Suet624 It‘s actually a little brass clip that holds a book open. 😄 3y

rubyslippersreads ❤️ this book (and the #littlebrasshand 😄). 3y

LeahBergen @rubyslippersreads I just finished it and loved it! ❤️❤️❤️ I wish I could find the sequel but ... no luck. 😭😭 3y

rubyslippersreads @LeahBergen It was reprinted a few years ago, but I don‘t know if it‘s still available. But knowing you, you‘ll find a vintage copy in the wild. 😊 3y

Another road trip purchase and one I've been seeking for about twenty years.

THIS is the one I was so excited about, @rubyslippersreads (First British edition and NOT an ex-library copy ... $12. Can you believe it?)

Leftcoastzen That is such a great feeling when you find one that's been on the list for a long time. 7y

MCYmermaid What makes it special? This isn't a title I remember encountering before. 7y

rubyslippersreads That is absolutely gorgeous! What a lucky find! 😍😍😍 7y

rubyslippersreads @MCYmermaid It's been out of print for years, and when you do see a copy for sale online, it's usually extremely expensive. It's a lovely story about a little girl in boarding school in pre-revolutionary Russia. 7y

TrishB Very cool 👍 hope you did a happy dance! 7y

merelybookish Fun!! 7y

quirkyreader Great score!. 7y

Redwritinghood 👏👏 7y

Cathythoughts Twenty years later 💫that's exciting 7y

LeahBergen @Leftcoastzen Isn't it the best feeling? I only let out a muted squeal. 😉 7y

LeahBergen @MCYmermaid Just like @rubyslippersreads said ... I think it's one of those titles that didn't have a big printing but lots of people have fond childhood memories of it (and now want to own a copy). (edited) 7y

LeahBergen @rubyslippersreads I knew you'd approve! 😘 7y

LeahBergen @TrishB I did (while clutching it covetously 😆). 7y

LeahBergen @merelybookish @quirkyreader @Redwritinghood @Cathythoughts Thanks! 😘 7y

LauraBrook What, seriously? Amazing!!!!!!! So so psyched for you! 🤘🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 7y

ValerieAndBooks You have the best kind of luck!! 7y

LeahBergen @LauraBrook Thanks! I was trying to be all quietly gleeful in the bookshop. 😂 7y

LeahBergen @ValerieAndBooks I love book luck! 😂 7y

Shy, quiet Masha leaves her home in the Russian countryside to attend boarding school in St. Petersburg, and discovers she's braver than she knew. #bravecharacters #novemberland
