Book haul from 2 or 3 bookstore trips. It‘s so much fun hunting and gathering books. Does anyone else give out a little exclamation when a long searched for book is finally spotted? I grab it fast thinking that everyone else in the store would take it if they‘d seen it first. This happened with The Doll. Thanks for feeding the maniac in me @shawnmooney !
You know you want to read this novel now, don‘t you?

Wasn‘t expecting the introduction of a new, seemingly British character in chapter 11 of this Polish novel from 1890! Love the take-off on Jane Austen here.

Still savoring this wonderful Polish novel from 1890!
This letter to the novel‘s increasingly impoverished aristocratic heroine Izabela from her aunt, with its postscript introducing to ‘Bela‘ the rich middle-class merchant Wokulski, condenses an awful lot of what the novel is preoccupied with into one epistle.

I‘m only on the second chapter but this 1890 novel out of Poland has already completely charmed me! The translation by David Welsh is awesome.

Bought this brand new for only $13 on a whim the other day, and have become so strangely obsessed with this 1890, 680-page novel out of Poland that I may have to start reading it immediately as part of BookTube‘s Tome Topple reading challenge later this month!
