Look what came in the mail today!! My book from our first round of the #LPMBC back@from @jhod !! Jessica, your generosity is humbling! I ❤️ mint & this is delish (I‘m eating a piece right now!)! The stationery is just my style! Thank you!

I can‘t wait to thumb through the book & read all of your amazing comments and insights. I‘ll take a couple of pictures & post about it again. I‘m delighted that you all enjoyed it! @Balibee146 @samharnold

#LMPBC #GroupX Thanks for choosing it for us to read @samharnold ! @jhod @Balibee146

I‘m only a few brief chapters in but I‘m really enjoying it. The POV character, an 11 year old boy, has the most amazing voice. He sounds like a naive young boy, his English is not great, but he says the most beautifully poignant things every now and again.

I just signed up to group X!! This is my first time doing this. I hope I can keep up. 😳 #LMPBC @suvata @jhod @samharnold Go here to sign up: https://m.signupgenius.com/#!/showSignUp/5080444aead2ca0ff2-l...

Wouldn't it be interesting to do a marginalia swap with a fellow book lover? My idea is to re-read a beloved classic, adding notes and highlighting areas, then swap with a partner and read their marginalia for a different angle of understanding of the book.

#TBRtemptation post 8! After poring over thousands of books from the past 3 centuries, Jackson has written the first book to examine the phenomenon of marginalia. From Pierre de Fermat to Graham Greene, readers relate to their read books on the margins. HJ looks at the history of marginalia, the forms it takes, the psychology behind them, & the reactions they provoke. Some are really provocative. Imaginative & amusing. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎
