Chapter a Day Extra - I really enjoy having this on my Kindle for reference but I don't like reading from it. Annotations distract from the story. After I read my chapter in my print copy I go back and look to see what notes it has. ✍️📖📚

Chapter 7 “It is over! it is over!” she repeated to herself again, and again, in nervous gratitude. “The worst is over!” - Persuasion.
Captain Wentworth has arrived!
Morning cuppa and a chapter from 1996 Book of the Month Edition. I'm still looking for Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice editions. Love that they include illustrations from Hugh Thompson. 🫖📖📚

Chapter 6 - "He had, in fact, though his sisters were now doing all they could for him, by calling him “poor Richard,” been nothing better than a thick-headed, unfeeling, unprofitable Dick Musgrove, who had never done any thing to entitle himself to more than the abbreviation of his name, living or dead."
I love snarky Jane! Morning cuppa w/ gorgeous Clothbound Classic Edition.

“So, you are come at last! I began to think I should never see you. I am so ill I can hardly speak. I have not seen a creature the whole morning!” Mary the Drama Queen has entered the chat.
Extra big cuppa morning. I don't read a ton of Mass Market paperbacks, prints to small & dark. I make exceptions for ones with charming covers like Signet Classic Persuasion. 🫖📖📚

Chapter 3 of Persuasion: Sir Walter is a snob and the focus moves to Anne. “A few months more, and he, perhaps, may be walking here.”
This week I'm going to cycle through my collection of print copies. Starting with Signature Gilded Classic. I love the blue and ribbon book mark. 🫖📖📚

"Anne had been too little from home, too little seen. Her spirits were not high. A larger society would improve them. She wanted her to be more known." Chapter 2.
Poor Anne either overlooked or others decide what she needs. ?
*In addition to my print copies on busy days I'll be listening to Juliet Stevenson.

Chapter A Day Readalong starts today. Last of our 'Then' reads. I just realized I have seven print copies. One for every day of the week. Which edition will you be reading?
Often called an autumnal novel. Perfect for November.
"Sir Walter Elliot, of Kellynch-hall, in Somersetshire,was a man who, for his own amusement, never took up any book but the Baronetage;" ???

Halloween season is the best time of year to find Edgar Allan Poe books and novelty items. The latest addition to our Poe book collection is a charming book titled, ‘Poe Knows: A Miscellany of Macabre Musings.‘ It‘s an illustrated compilation of 200 quotes that showcases his wit and wisdom in bite-sized pieces. I also found a beautiful book-shaped ceramic planter. My blog has all the details.
