It's been a tough few days. Finishing up Content Lists for Insurance Company. Just reliving over and over again all the things we lost in the house fire. And then these arrived!

Stumbled upon 1st Editions on Ebay. Excellent condition with just a few marks and tears.

Betsy Book Mail was just what I needed to cheer me up. 📖📚🤓

In January 1914, with an unsuccessful college experience (illness) and a broken romance with Joe behind her, twenty-one-year-old Betsy, traveling alone for the first time, determines to enjoy every moment of her long trip around Europe. I enjoyed this one a little more than the previous ones (high school years).

How my Friday night is shaping up.

😆😆

Melissa_J That‘s lovely! I have my book sitting beside me, but Mitch Marner finally signed his contract with the Leafs and I can‘t seem to stay off the internet reading all the takes about it 🤷🏻‍♀️ 5y
LeahBergen @Melissa_J I‘m anxiously waiting for Matthew Tkachuk to re-sign with us! 😬 5y
Amiable Looks like a perfect night to me! 5y

Melissa_J Good luck! Marner has set the bar kind of high money wise though 😕 5y

CarolynM I put a parcel in the post for you yesterday, hope it doesn't take too long to reach you. By the way, according to my family's lore the Flames are going to win the cup this season. 5y
LeahBergen @CarolynM Ooo, how exciting! Thank you! 😍👏🏻😍👏🏻 And I hope the prognosticators in your family are correct! 😆😆 I‘m truly surprised that there are Flames fan way “down” there. 😮 5y

1. My fridge is working again! Hallelujah!
2. I can‘t seem to stop reading Deb Harkness‘ All Souls novels.
3. Once the Raptors beat my beloved 76ers, they were dead to me😂
4. The tagged book from the Betsy Tacy series. I think it ignited my interest in travel and in history.
Thanks @xxjenadanxx for the tag and @DebbieGrillo for getting this going again. Tagging @Crazeedi and @Alisnazzy

Crazeedi Thanks for tag Lynn!!😊 5y

If Betsy didn't quite travel #aroundtheworld, she saw a lot of the Great World (as did the real Betsy, Maud Hart Lovelace), and some of the book is #setinfrance. #sizzlinsummerbooks #JubilantJuly #multitasking #betsytacy

"You're not a suffragette!" He exclaimed.
"I certainly am."
"I don't believe it."
"Why, of course I am!" She was astonished that anyone could doubt it.

This has been one of the roughest weeks of my life in the roughest year of my life. Between caring for a sick mother in law, running my business and Donald Trump it has just been HARD. I have questioned so much about everything and started to struggle with my anxiety again. Thank goodness I have books to get me through these times! And these books are some of my favorite. Luckily ended this terrible week with booking a wedding so all is not sad!

My favorite Betsy book. @RealLifeReading More like #shipstrainsandautomobiles than #planestrainsandautomobiles. I'm sure Betsy would love to fly when the chance came.

Back to escapism for a while. I feel like I'm going to spend the last month before the election like a groundhog - popping up to see if it's over or not yet and burrowing back into my books.

#recommendsday Possibly my favorite of the Betsy-Tacy "high school" books. ❤️❤️❤️

ValerieAndBooks I remember reading these too as a kid! Every now and then I think I should again but as they were library books, I'd probably have to buy them this time around? 8y
