Listen up, #BetsyTacy fans! The next B-T Convention is coming for us! Mankato 2025, will I see you there? #MaudHartLovelace #BetsyTacyAndTib #BetsyTacyTib #EmilyOfDeepValley #DeepValley

MaureenMc I did not know this convention existed. Is it annual?? I am seriously considering trying to make this work. Thanks for posting! 2mo
LeahBergen Oh, this would be fun!! 🤩 2mo
Andrea313 @MaureenMc It happens every few years- 2009, 2012, and 2018 have been the most recent. There was supposed to be one in 2020, but we all know how that ended. Finally, finally it's coming around again, and I'll be sure to keep posting about it! If you're in Facebook, you can follow "The Betsy-Tacy Convention" for updates. 2mo

Andrea313 @LeahBergen I've been several times, it's always a lot of fun! Tours of Deep Valley sites, sometimes workshops, and speakers have included Meg Cabot, Jia Tolentino, and Laura Lippman. 2mo
quietjenn Oh, maybe? Plenty of time to make plans and it would be so fun … 2mo
Andrea313 @quietjenn YES, do it! I love that the date is announced so far out, plenty of time to make those plans.... 2mo
MaureenMc @Andrea313 I followed them on FB. I mentioned it to my daughter & she is definitely interested! 2mo
Andrea313 @MaureenMc Yay! So hope to see you there! 2mo

#weirdwords #weirdwordwednesday @CBee

Pulchritude: beauty

“How rare pulchritude is among the Irish, I said to myself; therefore what a trouble is made when it does appear...“

CBee Lovely word! 2mo
Ruthiella This word always mixes me up because it sounds to me like it should mean the opposite. Maybe because of the similar sounding “putrid”? 2mo
rubyslippersreads I learned this word from the #BetsyTacy books. 2mo
Daisey I‘m with @Ruthiella. This word always sounds like it should be the opposite of beauty to me. 2mo

This series is a sheer delight! These installments cover Betsy‘s freshman and sophomore years at Deep Valley High School, and all of the angst and excitement involved in coming of age. (Surprisingly, I don‘t find Betsy‘s angst annoying, unlike that of more modern protagonists. 😆) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

LeahBergen I don‘t find it annoying either! 😆 4mo

Two of my favorite books are on sale for #kindle today. #BetsyTacy #KindleDeal #ebook

MaureenMc I was intrigued by Mrs. Muir. I‘ll definitely pick it up now (I always trust your recommendations!). 6mo
mabell Oh perfect season to try the Ghost and Mrs. Muir! 6mo
rubyslippersreads @MaureenMc What a nice compliment. ☺️ After you‘ve read it, you might want to watch the movie with Gene Tierney and Rex Harrison. 6mo

rubyslippersreads @mabell Tis the season! 👻 6mo
dabbe @rubyslippersreads I've seen the movie TONS of times and love it! Is the book close in plot to the movie? 🤩 6mo
rubyslippersreads @dabbe Yes and no. I love the book, but I think I love the movie even more. ❤️ 6mo
LeahBergen Two that you‘ve already made me buy in the past! 😆😆 6mo
dabbe @rubyslippersreads That's unusual, isn't it? But hey, it's Tierney and Rexie! BTW, I had a huge crush on him after this movie, MY FAIR LADY, and even DR. DOLITTLE! 🤩🤩🤩 6mo
rubyslippersreads @dabbe Did you know his nickname used to be “Sexy Rexy”? 🤣 6mo
rubyslippersreads @LeahBergen I‘m an enabler. 😹 6mo
dabbe @rubyslippersreads No! Well, that makes me feel better, having my crush on a guy that was 60+ years old when I was 13! 🤩🤣😃 6mo
MaureenMc @rubyslippersreads I really should. I love Rex Harrison! (edited) 6mo

#tlt thanks @mabell
1. Peeta and Katniss
2. Betsy and Joe
3. Veronica and Logan (i could not watch the new episodes after the first one)
and bonus- Maggie and Glen - i‘m still grieving. Also for fun- Luke and Laura even though it did not last.#nostalgia
anyone else want to play?

dabbe 1. From TWILIGHT. YES! 😍
2. Are Betsy and Joe from GREAT EX? LOVED those two! Joe's one of my favorite characters in all of literature! 😍
3. I don't know Veronica and Logan, but are Luke and Laura from GENERAL HOSPITAL? I still watch reruns of them on youtube and am DESOLATE that they didn't last forever! 😢
Thanks for playing! 💜🧡💜

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @dabbe - Peeta and Katniss are from the Hunger Games… you might be thinking of Bella and Edward? This is such a fun idea - my mind is currently blank but hopefully it‘ll start working soon 😝 7mo
Chrissyreadit @dabbe now i‘m looking up great ex- Betsy and Joe from Betsy Tacy Series and tagged book, and Veronica and Logan from Veronica Mars- TV, Movie and books. 7mo

5feet.of.fury I loved Glen, but everyone always says Glen, and you know who really broke my heart on that show… Beth. I could cry right now about it. 7mo
dabbe @thegirlwiththelibrarybag Oh, shoot! You are absolutely correct! Thank you! 😍 7mo
Chrissyreadit @5feet.of.fury yes Beth‘s death was heartbreaking! 7mo
mabell Such unique choices! Betsy-Tacy is the only one I‘ve read/watched 😆 7mo
Chrissyreadit @mabell i‘m eclectic…🥸 7mo
bthegood @Chrissyreadit @dabbe Now I'm singing “think of Laura, laugh don't cry, I know she'd want it that way“ - omg my whole dorm watched that show!! 😂 (edited) 7mo
Chrissyreadit @bthegood OMG- yes i heard that song in my head as i read your words! 7mo

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. 📖📚🤓

julieclair Those covers are the best! 12mo
Ruthiella Beautiful editions! A little retail therapy. ❤️ 12mo
