lil1inblue I really need to catch up, too! I need some #railroaddaddy time! 😍 😋 2w

JenlovesJT47 @Jari-chan @CBee 😅 all the days run together! Can‘t believe it‘s only Wednesday! 😵‍💫 2w

JenlovesJT47 @lil1inblue the last few episodes have been some high stakes drama! So good, I‘m addicted ♥️🤗 2w

dabbe Your words remind me how much I love reading books about and during this error. Edith Wharton is my fave. 🩶🖤🩶 2w

JenlovesJT47 @dabbe I have never read any of Edith Wharton‘s books although I have a bunch of them. Which one would you recommend reading first? 2w

dabbe @JenlovesJT47 Without a doubt, THE AGE OF INNOCENCE. The #hashtagbrigade is reading this next month, if you're interested. I'm happily rereading it because it's in my top 5 of all time. We only read a chapter a day. Here's the link for more info: https://www.litsy.com/web/post/2885440

P.S. The Martin Scorcese movie starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Winona Ryder is exquisite as well. 🩵💙🩵 2w

JenlovesJT47 @dabbe ooh yay, I can do a chapter a day! I‘ve been stressing about being behind on all of the buddy reads but that‘s doable. I‘ve already got the book. Thank you! 🤗 2w

The Gilded Age: a tale of to-day, volume two | Mark Twain

PSA: if you like period pieces and you haven‘t seen it yet, you MUST watch The Gilded Age on HBO. The costumes are fabulous & the cast is excellent. Mr. George Russell here (Morgan Spector) has been dubbed Railroad Daddy by the fans & it is very fitting!! 🥵😏😆 Lort, that man. 🥵🥵🥵😋

The union may call him
Robber Barron — but we call
him Railroad Daddy. 😉

AnnCrystal Just went and read about this show, looks like a catching soap opera 👏🏼🐝👌🏼🎬🐝💝. 4w

AnnCrystal @JenlovesJT47 that show does look addictive worthy. You mentioned that you live in New York?? It must be wild to see any historical movie based in your city. I know I love it when Los Angeles is featured ☺️👌🏼🎬💝. 4w

JenlovesJT47 @AnnCrystal I live in central Florida, close to Disney. I did post yesterday about NYC but I‘ve never been there — although I feel like I‘ve been there a thousand times in books and movies ☺️ I would LOVE to see a historical show set in this area. The closest I‘ve got is Dexter & The Golden Girls 😁 And L.A. is a great city! I lived about an hour away from LAX for 2 years in college. Got to see a couple of Dodgers games. Cali is beautiful. ♥️ 4w

AnnCrystal @JenlovesJT47 🆒 movies and books allows is to venture anywhere ☺️👌🏼💝💝💝. 4w

Amiable @JenlovesJT47 @AnnCrystal The Gilded Age is so good! I‘m also a fan. Did you know that large parts of it are filmed at the mansions in Newport, RI? 4w

JenlovesJT47 @Amiable the scenery is stunning and the costumes are 🤌🏻. Mrs. Russell‘s dresses are 😍😍😍 — well, all of them really, but hers are the best! ♥️ 4w

Amiable @JenlovesJT47 I do love George Russell, too. That man can buy a copper mine from me anytime. 😄 (edited) 4w

Librarybelle Love this show! 4w

TheBookHippie I adore that show. And OMG George Russell 🔥🔥🔥 4w

AnnCrystal @Amiable 🆒🤩 those Newport, RI mansions must be pretty ☺️👌🏼🎬💝. 4w

Amiable @AnnCrystal Oh, they are gorgeous! Especially when they‘re all decked out for the holidays. 4w

AnnCrystal @Amiable 🤩 my favorite! I love seeing the holidays celebrated on my favorite shows. I bet seeing those mansions all decked out is a feast for the eyes 🥳📺💖💖💖. 4w

dabbe A historical haiku! I love this time period, and now I want to read Edith Wharton again. 🖤🐝💛 4w

lil1inblue Railroad daddy... I hadn't heard that before, but damn it fits! 🔥 🔥 🔥 3w

julieclair Ooohhhh…. I haven‘t seen The Gilded Age, but I can tell I will love it!!! 😀 A few posts back, you asked about our favorite time periods to live in, and I think the gilded age would be mine. ⭐️ 3w

JenlovesJT47 @julieclair it‘s so good!! I decided to do a rewatch so I haven‘t watched the two newest episodes yet and I keep dodging spoilers right and left. 😆 it‘s a great show! ♥️♥️♥️ 3w

I have a question and I know my Litsy friends will be able to answer it. How do you classify a book on Goodreads when your time runs out on a book from Libby and there are people waiting for it. Do you keep it as currently reading or what? I know Storygraph and Bookmory let you pause a book. My time is running out fast for this book and I'm not even half way through it. Thanks for your help.

Chrissyreadit are you going to go back to it? currently reading…or don‘t worry and just wait until you finish it . 4w

MonicaLoves2Read @Chrissyreadit I'm going to put it back on hold when my time runs out. It's interesting but such a chunkster. 4w

PurpleyPumpkin I agree with @Chrissyreadit, I leave it as currently reading until I finish it. 👍🏽 4w

MonicaLoves2Read @Chrissyreadit @PurpleyPumpkin thank you both, I will do that 4w

Mark Twain | Ron Chernow

After reading ch. 1, which focuses on Twain‘s parents & his early life, this statement struck me as quite poignant. His father was undemonstrative, stoic, grave, was a failure in supporting his family until they moved to Hannibal where he was appointed Justice of the Peace.
We are loving the language & at times, fun, ironic tone to the book. Our reading will pick now that our lives have somewhat settled down. #MarkTwain #familyread

A Summer of Hummingbirds: Love, Art, and Scandal in the Intersecting Worlds of Emily Dickinson, Mark Twain , Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Martin Johnson Heade | Christopher Benfey

“My” sweet hummingbird, loves my garden‘s bee balm. I have a perfect view of him from my porch. The hummingbird‘s presence is reminding me of the tagged book which I started long ago. Now I feel a pull to return to it. #porchlife #hummingbird

Tamra I love bee balm! Always makes me think of Dr. Seuss characters. 😂 4w

TheBookHippie We‘ve had a lot of hummingbirds this year too! Love it. What a cool picture!!! 4w

When we registered to hear the author of the tagged book, Ron Chernow,speak at The Mark Twain House in Hartford, we each received our own signed copy of his biography of Twain.We plan to read it together,round robin by paragraph,all 1040 pages.It may take us a year! We started today,finishing up the Prelude.Even Poe joined in! 🐈📖

RaeLovesToRead Not sure how you're managing to read with Poe in the way haha 😄🥰 1mo
