pickThe Unselected Journal of Emma M. Lion, Vols 3-4, by Beth Brower (200-21)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Premise: The continued journals of a bright young woman navigating a fascinating assortment of handsome and charming men in her whimsical and slightly magical neighbourhood in Victorian London.
Review: My goodness, these just get better and better. ⬇️
pickI regret to inform myself that I was so eager to read what happened next that I forgot to review Vol 4.
There‘s no way I could separate this piece of the narrative now from the rest of it; I‘m on Vol 7.
I/you will need to be satisfied with this quote from Emma‘s book of Latin Phrases for the Unrepentant: “Credo quia absurdum.” Translation? “I believe because it is absurd.” And from her reading of Emerson: “All things swim and glitter.”
PERFECT.
Which will I run out of first: unselected journals or rabbit mugs? 🙃
I do enjoy these books and since I just finished a not very good one I‘d started a while ago, I need the improper and highly entertaining Emma M. Lion. The first thing I did before starting this was to look at the acknowledgements page to make sure there‘s a Volume 8 in the works (thankfully, yes). #serieslove2024 @Andrew65 @TheSpineView
