The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion, Vol. 8
The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion, Vol. 8 | Beth Brower
3 posts | 2 read
"Strange, considering it all now after a night's sleep, that I'd had no premonition of what awaited. That seems to be the nature of life, however. Things that ought to come with warnings rarely do."
The Year is 1884 and Emma M. Lion has, at long last, gained her majority. Entering a golden age of friendship with Pierce, Islington, and Hawkes, Emma is confident she will manage whatever comes her way. It is The Season she must help Arabella secure a husband, while navigating the threat of Aunt Eugenia, the unflagging adoration of Charles Goddard, and the amusing unpredictability of St. Crispian's. But the secrets of her trusted friends are what might very well bring about disaster.
Emma M. Lion offers up her Unselected Journals, however self-incriminating they may be. Armed with wit and a sideways amusement, Emma documents the curious realities of her life at Lapis Lazuli House.

Do you ever find yourself smiling as you read?
Why does this passage make me so happy? Literally smiling “out loud.” 😊💛

#Two4Tuesday @TheSpineView @Lesliereadsalot

So our cozy house has 7 rooms, including the bathroom; the only room that doesn‘t have any books is the bathroom. 😊
I couldn‘t count them or explain — just easier to show bookcases in every room, and yes, I also use shelves inside of a linen closet. 😂
Favorite April reading: tagged 👍

Lesliereadsalot Wow! Great job photographing all the books! I love the books in the basket, and when I get home will look around for some interesting ways to display some books. I might have a basket or two… 2d

This rivals Book 6 as my favorite in the series. I‘m an unabashed Hawkes admirer. I don‘t know if he‘s right for Emma (or *more* right than anyone else) but he‘s right for me. The part where he soothes her after her fortune and it feels as if he‘s pressed a star into her hand is nothing short of swoon-worthy. It was also lovely to see her (and all of them) in their freest form, let loose from societal constraints. I need my own Stonecrop. ✨
