I'm behind for my #classicschallenge2024 as Little Women was March's book, but better late than never. This edition was passed onto me from my cousin though I don't remember when.
Ooh what a fun prompt! This one has a publisher's date of 1885, with a handwritten inscription Christmas of that year. I've several other books that look old but don't have a copyright or publisher's date to tell me just how old.

One of my favorite Steel books, set around the time of WWI, Oliva and Victoria Henderson are identical twins, with very different personalities and desires. One fateful decision in their 21st year, changes the course of both their lives.

Borrowed from my daughter's library for this prompt. From the hysterical #animalPOV of a very stubborn pigeon, she owns most of his books and gets a kick out of each one. #Springskies

🌿 the way this month is shaping up, I'll be excited to read, period lol, but I'm enjoying my medieval England trip with Elizabeth Chadwick's Outlaw Knight, currently.
🌿🌿 Technically, my BOTM pick is an early release (tagged).

🐣 Going to my folks for an egg hunt for my daughter, and lunch, after the Easter 🐰 visits.
🐣🐣 Honestly I haven't been disappointed in a book yest this year.
🐣🐣🐣 A Chair for My Mother was the first one to leap to mind. I can remember checking it out of my school library when I was in Kindergarten. (Tagged)

Thank you so much for the birthday wishes and goodies! @Kar2b @Eggs @Captivatedbybooks @Kappadeemom @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @LiseWorks 🎁 🎉 💕
What a perfect weekend to begin the #MarvelousMarch Readathon -on my birthday weekend. Very loose goals since I've been in a bit of a slump recently, but hoping to get a decent day of reading in tomorrow.

🏵 Christmas. I love to see my daughter so excited about the events and activities. 🎄
🏵🏵 I don't really, never been super close to my family.
🏵🏵🏵We didn't do a lot of activities when I was a kid. I mostly enjoyed playing outdoors and reading.

Fascinating nonfiction about the lives of Duchess Jacquetta, Elizabeth Woodville, and Margaret Beauford. Each of these women, Philippa Gregory has written novels about: The Rivers Women, the White Queen, and the Red Queen, respectively.
The first in the Rizzoli and Isles series, which I've read but somehow don't own (though I own most of the rest of them). One of my favorite thriller authors.

Read this one when I heard they were making a movie of it (which I've not seen). It was good but not great.

Fellow #NancyDrewBR I need your help! My mother read ND as a girl, which would have been late 60s/early 70s & remembers a part of a book that she read, but can't find now. It's likely because of the updated editions, but she wants to see if she can find the title of said book. If anyone encounters this snippet, during our rereads, please let me know! 😊
This is what she recalls: (see comment below)

Finally received this book (took forever to ship stateside from the 🇬🇧) and am so excited to read it. I've taken the Bibliotherapy course she offers and it was fascinating! #bibliotherapy
👤My middle name, Alice, was my grandmother's first name, and her mother's name. I think it goes back further than that too.

Absolutely loved this book. Even someone without any interest in psychology would likely find it charming and witty.

I received this ARC from Goodreads years ago, it was my first (and I think their first) book of theirs and I instantly fell in love with the writing.
