3 posts | 1 read
"It has been a day ordained by the fates, for how else could one explain the wholly cursed chain of events?" The Year is 1883 and Emma M. Lion has returned to her London Neighbourhood of St. Crispian's. But Emma's plan for a charmed and studious life are sabotaged by her eccentric Cousin Archibald, her formidable Aunt Eugenia, and the slightly odd denizens of St. Crispian's.Emma M. Lion offers up her Unselected Journals, however self-incriminating they may be, which comprise a series of novella-length volumes. Armed with wit and a sideways amusement, Emma documents the curious realities of her life at Lapis Lazuli House.

Another day, another journal…
Alas, I‘ve finished this one before the fourth had a chance to arrive. And so, my lazy days with Emma are drawing to a close. For now.

Set in the 1880‘s in a tiny English village, these personal tales of Emma M. Lion‘s spirited encounters and innermost thoughts are a delight. I love the romance, the quirk, the inexplicable little touches of the otherworldly (e.g. the ghost that haunts their neighborhood). Perfection.

monalyisha Volume 2 has the honor of being my favorite so far but with so many literary references to Ralph Waldo Emerson (and the tease of an almost-kiss!), Volume 3 isn‘t far behind. 1mo
KadaGul @monalyisha How adorable!! 1mo
BookNAround I love these. It was a sad day for me when I was completely caught up with the series so that now I have to wait for her to publish more! 1mo
monalyisha @BookNAround I saw that someone (was it you?) was sprinkling them in sparingly amidst their other reading. I have no such self-control to speak of! 1mo

“A lesser mortal might have hoped he would have passed quietly in the night.

I, however, would have settled for him passing rather loudly.”

How can you not giggle at lines like this?!

I‘m sprinkling this series in amongst other books because it is such a delight. I‘m on Volume 3 now. #serieslove2023 @TheSpineView @Andrew65
