rubyslippersreads In the #BetsyTacy “high school” books, this is the assigned reading that no one but Betsy wants to read. (I have to admit I‘ve never read it myself. 😏) 3y
TheAromaofBooks Yay!! I've always meant to read Ivanhoe. When I was a little girl one of my favorite books was The Velvet Room & they read Ivanhoe as a part of that story, yet I've never gotten to it myself!![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)
The Velvet Room 3y
The Velvet Roomrabbitprincess @rubyslippersreads I‘ve read it at least once, maybe twice, but my abiding memories are from the Wishbone TV adaptation 😂 @TheAromaofBooks When I‘m in the right mood, it goes by quickly. Also I am still on my Stardew Valley kick and named my pig after the swineherd Gurth 😂 3y

rubyslippersreads @TheAromaofBooks I love The Velvet Room! I used to check it out of the elementary school library over and over ! Between that and the #bpBetsyTacy connection, I guess I‘ll have to read Ivanhoe 😊 3y
TheAromaofBooks Man, you just can't beat Wishbone! #thebestDarcy 😂 I'm also still on a Stardew Valley kick, which may explain why I didn't get nearly as many books read in April as I usually do!! 3y
TheAromaofBooks @rubyslippersreads - The Velvet Room is DEFINITELY due for a reread for me - it's probably been 20 years since I last read it, which is ridiculous considering how many times I read it growing up. Mom had a small, battered Scholastic Book Club paperback copy & now I'm wondering if she still has it, because ideally I want to reread the EXACT same book haha 3y
rabbitprincess @rubyslippersreads I hope you like it when you get to it! @TheAromaofBooks I am surprised by how addictive I find Stardew! It helps me feel accomplished ? « Oh yay I harvested a whole bunch of gold parsnips! » 3y
