1. Cabin somewhere you don't need air-conditioning.
2. Camp Murmuring Lake as a nod to tagged book.
3. In the Garden with Jane Austen by Kim Wilson.
4. Read all the books with Summer in the title on my #summertimestack.

Andrea313 I almost chose the entire Betsy series as my favorite"outdoorsy" book! Those descriptions of Murmuring Lake are gorgeous. Maybe the next BT Convention will have a day trip to the real Murmuring Lake site...! 3y

Crinoline_Laphroaig @Andrea313 won't it be wonderful to spend a whole summer at Murmuring Lake? 3y

Betsy needs to decide if her new sorority is making her miss out on other things, like her writing and other friendships. #tarottakeover

Happy Birthday Betsy!
Aka author Maud Hart Lovelace. All day long I'll be joining the Betsy - Tacy Society here and on my Instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B_aS0pCALn9/?igshid=1nchatstabhi6 for #BetsysPartyinPlace
As a teenager, I first met Betsy at my Public Library when I checked out Betsy was a Junior. It was love at first read. All these years later I consider her an old friend. 🎂

Butterfinger I need to reread them. 5y

Crinoline_Laphroaig @Butterfinger they're such a delight. 5y

I only worked at the library for four hours today but it seemed SO LONG. Sitting in the coffee shop reading for a few hours until I head to the theatre to photograph a show tonight. I was too exhausted to drive home first.

CareBear Love that bookmark! 7y

ReadingSusan @CareBear it‘s a @BookBabe Bookish Art bookmark!! 7y

Checking out this podcast for the first time since they are talking about the Betsy-Tacy books! Has anyone else listened? They talk all about YA books. I hope it‘s good. I have a hard time finding enjoyable book podcasts.

Posh_Salad..AKA..LazyLimaLife Ooh! I‘ll give it a try! 7y

ReadingRobyn Where do I find it? 7y

Read.Em.And.Eat I just subscribed! This will be awesome for my walks to and from work! Thanks for the recommendation! 7y

WhatDeeReads I will try it out. I do not like the host of Book Riot‘s YA podcast. Have been looking for an alternative. 7y

ReadingSusan @TheEmpress I use iTunes podcast but I am sure it‘s available on any podcast platform but here is their website: https://www.goyourownya.com/ 7y

ReadingSusan @WhatDeeReads yeah I can‘t get into any of their podcasts 😳 7y

WhatDeeReads @ReadingSusan I like Get Booked. I‘ve been meaning to check out SFF Yeah. 7y

I can‘t seem to concentrate on any books tonight so I am going to continue my Betsy-Tacy reread. This is one of my favorite illustrations from all the books!

DivineDiana I can see why! 7y

Each #family takes turns hosting Thanksgiving dinner. I'm sure both Mrs. Ray and Mrs. Slade were #thankful to have every other year off from cooking a #🦃 . And I'm glad to see Phil Brandish wasn't the only one with a red auto! 😄 #emojinov #noteworthynovember #quotsynov17

Happy Thanksgiving, Littens! I'm thankful for books and @Litsy 😊

I love this book so much and how by the end Betsy is growing up. I love the Junior Senior dance and the evolution of Joe Willard. #betsytacy #betsywasajunior #betsytacytib #maudhartlovelace
