#Pemberlittens this looks like something similar to Pym. #JaneAdjacent Read? @BarkingMadRead @StayCurious

Read for my friend's online Yoga, Books, & Brunch Club. Discussion was on Sunday. Pic is of my Brunch Tray all prepped.

I really enjoyed Chapter 4 about when things go horribly wrong. And how we react to it.

In the middle it bogged down. Became to woo woo for me and I skimmed a bit. Finished reading last chapters. But all in all I liked the basic message of How We Live Is How We Die.

My 1st Holiday Read of the Season! Cozy Murder Mystery with Hygee was perfect for me. I love looking at tiny houses on Instagram. Everything is in it's place. No chaos. It's relaxing.

At 123 pages I read in just over an hour. It was fun! I particularly like that it was the guy who had the baking and knitting skills.

Looking forward to reading entire series as it progresses through the seasons.
🎄🏠📚

Fnishing off November with 3 really great reads:
📱Gorgeous cover makes me happy every time I look at it. Life got in the way. Looking forward to curling up in bed and finishing this evening. ⬇️

#MonthInBooks

Not bad for setting up house, getting ready to entertain, and hosting Thanksgiving.

Lots of Readalongs:
#NorthangerinNovember #Pemberlittens #HashtagBrigade #JaneAdjacant and the #Chunkster the was Sword Catcher.

I get that it's the first book, so there's a lot of world building. It took about 180 pages for something to finally happen. But then I really like it. So I'm giving a Pick rather than So-So.

Absolutely loved it! It's hard to adapt Jane Austen to modern times but this does it so well. Thanksgiving Chapter was my favorite. Perfect choice since I was also rereading original Northanger Abbey. I finished both in the last few days.

And now it's time to get out the Christmas China!

Why yes I did pour my Thanksgiving champagne out of a flute into this glass because it matched the cover. Thanks for hosting @BarkingMadRead! I find Pym a comfort read. Perfect for this time of year.

I meant to post this yesterday for Thanksgiving. I really loved Chapter 24. Liam making turkey was the best! 🦃

Today I got Library Card for my new city. I was super excited to find a print copy of this month's #Pemberlittens #JaneAdjacent Read. 😍

@BarkingMadRead

I agree with you @IndoorDame that Kindle cover is so ugly. But I went ahead and grabbed it on Hoopla until my pretty purple one arrives. And while I was there I grabbed The Barbara Pym Cookbook. Off to read my chapter.

@BarkingMadRead my Print copy I ordered cheap off eBay isn't here yet so I thought I'd get audiobook. I had to Bail on the Sample it was so awful.

#Pemberlittens this has always been read at your own pace. Feel free to pop back anytime and comment. There will be a discussion of the whole series posted November. #JaneAndTheExcellentReadalong

#Pemberlittens loved how it circled back to beginning with Harris Bigg-Wither.
"Good lord, I thought suddenly. Had I accepted him, should I have had ten children? - And shuddered at the thought." Wonderful conclusion. Even though it had me ?.

Stephanie Barron did Jane proud.

Pop over to Instagram to see a reel I made for Austenprose Book Tour.

#Pemberlittens I've been rereading Jane Austen as part of #JaneAndTheExcellentReadalong. Emma being published is part of the story from Jane and the Waterloo Map forward.

A few years ago I read this article https://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/20/opinion/jane-austens-guide-to-alzheimers.html... it really changed my perspective of Emma as just a spoiled rich girl. She's parenting a parent. Which I've done and it never easy.

Husband and I recently binged the TV series so it fun read. Little bit different so it had some surprises. Definitely want to read Book 2.

I'm so behind on my Reviews!

Started reading was immediately drawn in, and then life intruded. When I finally had chance to get back to it, couldn't put it down. Great ending to Trilogy!

Can't wait to reread when audiobooks come out. It's a series that I will definitely pickup even more on 2nd reading.

#Pemberlittens you were there for me during the bad. I want you to be there for the wonderful. We bought house! AND I HAVE A LIBRARY. All the lovely books you gifted me after the fire have a new home.

May still be sporadic posting w/ getting settled but I wanted y'all to be part of first to know.

Just love the house. I know how Elizabeth must have felt moving into Pemberley. ☺️

@HappyLitsyversary to me! My first post 7 years ago: https://litsy.com/p/Y1V2bWh6UEpW 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

#SeptemberByTheSea was the theme and few others. 📖📚🌊 #MyMonthInBooks

😆

Dome 6 arrived 6 Days early because I ordered from author directly.

Started reading immediately. Life got in the way but I'm hoping to finish before tomorrow's publication. Quiet day today so I made myself a tray with @teapunkteas Deep Blue Abyss AKA Space Oolong created by Ms Gail herself.

I can't wait to see how things turn out for Phex and friends in this the last of Tinkered Starsong Trilogy. 🌌✨💙➡️💜

#Pemberlittens it's time for
#JaneAndTheExcellentReadalong!

Love this picture of my first copy of September. Carried it on the plane and in the car as we traveled around Scotland in 2017.

Timeline Readalong ends today. Enjoyed my reread. It's a bit dated in places. But it has my favorite things about Rosamunde Pilcher reads - plucky older woman character and beautiful descriptions. However Winter Solstice remains my favorite.📖 🚘🍁🍂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

#rosamundepilcherforeveryseason

After playing a few games with Husband and Niblings I retreated to a quiet table and finished reading Jane and the Year Without a Summer.

Evening knowing what's coming. 😭 #janeandtheexcellentreadalong

(While I enjoy Pinball they LOVE Pinball.)

#Pemberlittens While I have Advanced Readers Copy of Jane and the Final Mystery, I'm not rushing through the Penultimate book in the series.

Jane and the Year Without a Summer starts off a bit quieter. Which is fitting because Jane is having health problems. It's lovely seeing Jane and Cassandra having adventure of their own.

Discussion Post up September 30th.🎩 📖📚

#janeandtheexcellentreadalong

Today's the day for The Raging Storm! Release of Book 3 of Ann Cleeves Two Rivers Series featuring Detective Matthew Venn. I've loved this series from the beginning so I very excited when I was approved for NetGalley ARC this summer. The Raging Storm didn't disappoint. Twisty mystery. More of characters backstories. And just a hint of what's to come.

Today I'm rereading with Audible.
🌊⛈️🎧📖📚

Found this pic on my phone and realized I forgot to post it....Love this series! Witty dialogue of Willow Jean (Will) Parker is so fun. She's a circus runaway turned assistant to famous Private Detective Lillian Pentecost.

Audiobook narrator does excellent job. I switched between it and library print copy. Ms. Pentecost is great character too. Incredibly smart but being let down by her body battling muscular sclerosis. It's become a must read.

Matching my tea cup to book covers makes me happy. This morning I just happened to pick perfect mug for reading The Chirrup. Cover Reveal for Dome 6. Final book in Gail Carriger Tinkered Starsong Trilogy. Love the grayscale!

Release date is October 1st. You've still time to binge read Divinity 36 and Demigod 12.🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤

On the Left is this month's #Pemberlittens #HashtagBrigade with @BarkingMadRead. On the right is my Books and Brews Club read that starts at 1pm. I've read 12 pages! Don't think I'm going to finish. Good thing I can just drink a beer and socialize. 😆

#JaneAndTheExcellentReadalong discussion post.
1️⃣ The ending! Jane saves the day!

2️⃣ Jane, always Jane.

3️⃣ "Think, clodpole!” (I really want to use that line sometime.)

“To meddlesome women,”

"I refuse to disrupt so completely the tenuous peace of my life. I am done with longing for a gentleman to save me."

4️⃣ Visit Carlton House with JSC. I love looking at houses. And prattling people are easier for me to ignore than angry ones.⬇️

It's a busy week. Still reading August #JaneAndTheExcellentReadalong but will be finishing today. Discussion post will be up tonight or tomorrow.

Until then #Pemberlittens enjoy a picture on a January afternoon when I was rereading while waiting on release of Jane and the Year Without a Summer.🥂🍾📖

It's so pretty!!! Finding space on my All Things Austen shelves. 💖💕
#austeninaugust #bookmail #wwjad

Excited to be part of Virtual Book Tour!

Everything I want when I read Austenesque. Jane Austen quotes at beginning of each chapter, country village setting, & doesn't try to rewrite the original novels.

Perfect w/ nods to Pride & Prejudice, which I think is hardest to modernize. Nobody's going to starve in the hedgerows these days because they didn't get married.

I want on my forever shelf so I've ordered a print copy. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

#pemberlittens

My Mansfield Park collection isn't as extensive as Pride and Prejudice but I do have three beautiful editions. All are from sets that #Pemberlittens gifted me. That makes them so special to me.

I'm really enjoying my reread. I've been swapping between editions. Today it's Wordsworth paperback. Love the fans on the cover. 💖💕

How fitting that my Timeline Readalong of September by Rosamunde Pilcher has started back up. Last few days there has been a hint of fall with cool mornings. Not that it will last. Sunday forecast high is 101F/38C.

While the majority of the story takes place in September, 100 pages of it are set in August. Short chapters that are perfect with my morning tea as I dream of fall in Scotland. 🌞🫖🍁🍂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

#rosamundepilcherforeveryseason

Blogger Anne Bogel of Modern Mrs Darcy says: "Pride and Prejudice should be read in the spring; Emma in the summer. But Persuasion is for colder months."

Mansfield Park is a summer read as well. All the discussions of the heat, hahas and improving of gardens just make it perfect for the season. ?????

#austeninaugust #pemberlittens

Why yes I did buy bottle of Ume Plum Liquer because matches cover of Demigod 12. Nephew did small tastings of Ume recipes for me to try. All where good but the Purple Marg was my favorite.

I'm loving new Tinkered Starsong series. Final book - Dome 6 will be released on October 1st. Which is also 14th Birthday of Soulless by Gail Carriger & my Bookstagram Anniversary! 💜💜💜💜💜

One of these days I'm going to attempt to make a Twelfth Night Cake. 📖🎄🎂

The comfort of tea on a cold winter morning. 🫖📖🎄

I spent a lovely day in Talequah, Ok hanging out with a friend. Stopped into Too Fond of Books bookstore. It was lovely. Picked up the tagged book because of if blurb: "You like tea. I like books. Care to open a shop and forget the world exists?" ???

July 🥵 or January 🥶?

Yesterday I was out and about in Tulsa and my car thermometer read 102F/39C. I could really use some January cold right now.

How about you?

When I originally read Jane and the Twelve Days of Christmas for my #JaneandtheYear2020 Readalong I remarked that this quote described my 2020. This time reading, after the House Fire, it spoke to me because books have been such a comfort.

#JaneAndTheExcellentReadalong

After a sad book needed something light-hearted so I choose this from my Netgalley. Yes it does have family member death for the most part it's a happy read.

But mainly I loved how everyone from team mates to family are so supportive. And how Landon and Casey are to very different people but treat each other with respect and compassion.

Did I see the ending coming from a mile away? Yes but I expect a Happy Every After when reading romance.
