It may have arrived a couple of days late, but I think it was worth it! A birthday gift from my husband… a unique print from Jane Mount of my favorite books…. Cannot wait to get it framed and on the wall…. 😍

Hooked_on_books I LOVED this book! It‘s just marvelous and the physical book for this one was the only way to go, since it‘s beautiful. 😍 3y

ValerieAndBooks @Ruthiella oh, my! So many. But one that intrigues me because it takes place in a dystopian future of 2021 (this year 😱!) is this by P.D. James

The Children of Men

ValerieAndBooks @Amandajoy that would be living the dream! They are so lovely. 3y

ValerieAndBooks @AkashaVampie haha, I can see why! 📚📚📚 3y

ValerieAndBooks @Hooked_on_books yes! It is still on my coffee table instead of the bookshelf. I want to go back and write down a TBR list based on this. 3y

@CrowCAH thought of you when I saw this! I‘m sure you have most of these covers already 🤗

CrowCAH Awww 🥰 Actually I don‘t. Only own four on the right page. I need all on the left page and one from the right. So there‘s more books to add to the #PnPCovers collection! 3y

ValerieAndBooks @CrowCAH I thought you probably don‘t have the original edition but wow still more for you to get!! And new editions come out all the time I‘m sure. But you‘re having fun with this 💖 3y

CrowCAH @ValerieAndBooks yes, more editions come out it seems almost every year! It‘s a fun hobby and gives me excuses to go to new and used book stores 📚 3y

ValerieAndBooks @CrowCAH I was just browsing in www.bookoutlet.com and there‘s a PnP cover (Paper Mill Classics) that I don‘t remember seeing from your hashtag. (Sorry if I‘ve just enabled you 😂) (edited) 3y

CrowCAH @ValerieAndBooks lol I‘ll check it out! Thanks 😊 3y

My 2019 year in review. Lots of five ⭐ books this year.

Made both goals in #MtTBRChallenge2019 and #VirtualMountTBR2019 as well. 24 total.

Read 36 books in all, not my best total, but above average for me. If you are new to following me, I should let you know that I'm a slow reader who doesn't get a lot of time to read. I'll never read 100+ books a year, but I try to make up for that with quality and diversity.

This is going to be controversial BUT does anyone feel a duty not to collect too many books, because they'll be a burden for your kids when you're dead? I tagged one so beautiful that one of my children might want to have it, but honestly? Other than a couple of valuable boxed sets I can't imagine any of my kids will want them. I imagine giving a lot of them away to the library when I become a senior citizen.

Samplergal I‘m in the middle of that. Neither of my kids are voracious readers so I‘m giving them all away at my book clubs. 5y

Megabooks Or you could donate them to prison programs or adult literacy. 5y

jillrhudy @Megabooks Good idea! I read that estate sale people will just pulp them so I am determined to avoid that, and at least try to get them to someone who will read/love them. I could also use an online book swap system and simply mail them to anyone who wants them. . . (edited) 5y

TheSpineView My gran6read a lot of the same books I do. Therefore, I see him having a field day with my books. 5y

KathyWheeler I‘m considering downsizing my books because I really doubt my kids will want them. They read, but not like I do. 5y

jillrhudy @KathyWheeler All six of my kids read but nothing remotely like I do, and for the most part they aren't going to want my books. They don't have the same taste in books for one thing. I do have a niece who reads like a house on fire. She may be my best hope! 5y

Aimeesue You've seen my shelves, so obviously my answer must be NO. 😁 Also, that reminds me - I still have a box of books to mail to you. 😂 5y

jillrhudy @Aimeesue You're kidding. I'm going to strike back with a parcel this time TWICE as big as yours, so there. That will fix your wagon. How are you fixed for hopelessly obscure Monica Dickens? I've got a copy of “Joy and Josephine.“ 5y

Susannah You may have thought of this, but my mom and I were just talking about places to donate books, and she said she had a friend who donated them to homeless shelters (and perhaps domestic violence shelters too). 5y

Aimeesue @jillrhudy I do not have Joy and Josephine, although I do have several M. Dickens novels. Did you read Mariana with AA? I think that was my first Persephone. 5y

jillrhudy @Susannah For some of my books domestic violence shelters would be ideal! 5y

Chelsea.Poole @MelissaSue81 I'm not sure what the notecards or planner contain, so I can't compare the them with the book. But, the book itself is just a work of art about books. There are categories throughout and illustrated stacks, such as "history" or "picture books" and there are pages about libraries, bookstores, authors' reading rooms, and more...all illustrated. 5y

My text to a friend pretty much sums it up - I loved this book. A book about books is my Achilles Heel and this was no exception. Really a love letter to books and design. The author is an artist (famous for her Ideal Bookshelf paintings) and I love the marriage between her style of drawing and her love of books and bookish things. She covers genre, covers, bookstore cats, writers‘ rooms, cool bookstores and libraries, and book recs (and more).

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego Such a beautiful book!!! 🤩 5y

Where the Wild Things Are and Pierre were two of my favorite books as a child. I‘ve heard this story before, about the child eating the note from Sendak, but I didn‘t know:

“The “things” were meant to be wild horses, until Sendak realized he couldn‘t draw a horse.”

I‘m glad they wound up being more monster like, I love the way they turned out!

The authors name is JANE Mount, and it‘s the most beautiful and whimsical book about books and book stores and writers! Writers pets! Writers rooms! It‘s got everything and it‘s so beautiful!

Melissa_J You‘re welcome 😉 I‘m glad you are enjoying it. PS - what kind of tea are you drinking? Candy Cane Crush is back at David‘s Tea! 5y

AlaMich When I search for this on Amazon, it doesn‘t show up. 🧐 5y

mcctrish @Melissa_J Candy Cane Crush is fantastic 5y

LeahBergen @AlaMich Ah, I just noticed the author name is incorrect for this Litsy listing. Try Jane Mount. 5y

LeahBergen @Mitch It‘s wonderful! 5y

LeahBergen @rubyslippersreads Yes! 5y

LeahBergen @kspenmoll Did you just order it or did you already have it? 😆 5y

LeahBergen @Melissa_J This one was Murchie‘s Canadian Breakfast (my first time trying it). And yay for Candy Cane Crush! 👏🏻👏🏻😄 5y

LeahBergen @mcctrish I‘ll be picking some up again this year! 5y

CareBear I have her 2019 planner! It‘s awesome! 5y

Melissa_J @mcctrish it‘s one of my favourites. In fact, I‘m drinking a cup of it right now 😊 5y

AlaMich @LeahBergen Weird. I searched amazon again but reverse ordered the author and title and now it displays it. Anyway, it looks like a must have!! 5y

Melissa_J Is it good? I loved the Balmoral Blend, which I think I‘m out of 🤔 I have so much tea I can‘t keep track 😂 5y

LeahBergen @CareBear It looks amazing. Lucky you! 5y

LeahBergen @AlaMich It is! I‘m really enjoying all the little bits of book trivia. 5y

LeahBergen @Melissa_J It‘s good! It has a touch of maple in it. I‘ll throw a few bags in your “Xmas gift in exchange for my birthday gift” for you to sample. 😆 And OH MAN ... I actually had to organize my tea cupboard not long ago. 😆😆 5y

kspenmoll @LeahBergen I found it a week ago when I was visiting my son at College- there was one copy in the bookstore- I snatched it up! Often I find a small gem at that store. 5y

Reviewsbylola Ummm I need this!! 5y

A stack of unread books is definitely where I find my bliss. 💚

RadicalReader @Addison_Reads I adore Matilda and the wonderful quotes especially from the novel I wish they included more of the lines from the book in the movie 5y

This book is full of interesting tidbits about bookstores, authors, and of course books! This is a list of a few songs that are tributes to books! Some I knew, some are a surprise to me! Others listed: White Rabbit by Grace Slick, For Whom the Bell Tolls by Metallica, 1984 by David Bowie, Scentless Apprentice by Nirvana, and more. 📚🎶

DivineDiana Love the book/music connection! 5y

8little_paws There's also this https://youtu.be/zPJl2e38S4g 5y

Thank you so much, @Melissa_J for this glorious birthday parcel! 😮

I‘ve been coveting this beautiful Bibliophile book and can‘t even begin to tell you how excited I am about these Green Gables socks. 😆😆 I love the Green Gables bookmarks and tea and magnet, too (AND the tote and the David‘s tea). The peanuts sound super tasty!

You always make such beautiful cards. Thank you, sweet friend!! 😘😘😘

candority Picard‘s Peanuts, my favourite! 5y

Melissa_J I‘m so glad it arrived without much delay. I may have also purchased the Bibliophile book for myself when I ordered yours 😊 5y

LeahBergen @Melissa_J It‘s gorgeous!! I can‘t stop flipping through it. Thank you, thank you! ❤️ 5y
