Betsy-Tacy and Tib (Betsy-Tacy, #2) | Maud Hart Lovelace

Packing for a quick weekend getaway. Four books seems reasonable right? 😁

Graywacke Looks good. Although, you never know when you‘ll stumble across 100 free hours of reading on a two day getaway. At least that seems to how i always plan. 1w

Suet624 Just map out where the nearest bookstore is in the event you need it 1w

Ruthiella Maybe just one more? 😆 1w

BarbaraBB You‘re living on the edge 😉 1w

LeahBergen Add one more Betsy Tacy to the stack 😆 1w

merelybookish @Graywacke Exactly! One needs to be prepared! 1w

merelybookish @Suet624 Oh a visit to the bookstore is definitely on the docket! 1w

merelybookish @Ruthiella Lol! I think you're right. 😉 1w

merelybookish @BarbaraBB haha. Yes, it's risky. 😆 1w

merelybookish @LeahBergen Oh I wish! Currently depending on the NB public library system and they don't have the whole series. 🙄 1w

Cathythoughts Enjoy ❤️ 1w

Big into rereads and comfort reads right now. Just revisited this delight and wish ALL the Betsy-Tacy books were available on audio. (They're not.)

MaureenMc My 12 yo listens to this one every night to fall asleep. I definitely wish they had more of the series on audio! 2w

LeahBergen Oh, I‘ll have to listen to this! I love the series. 2w

merelybookish @LeahBergen I've only ever read this one and was ready to plough through the entire series! Hence the disappointment! 2w

merelybookish @MaureenMc How sweet! Makes me happy it still connects with a 12 year-old! 2w

Listen up, #BetsyTacy fans! The next B-T Convention is coming for us! Mankato 2025, will I see you there? #MaudHartLovelace #BetsyTacyAndTib #BetsyTacyTib #EmilyOfDeepValley #DeepValley

MaureenMc I did not know this convention existed. Is it annual?? I am seriously considering trying to make this work. Thanks for posting! 3mo

LeahBergen Oh, this would be fun!! 🤩 3mo

Andrea313 @MaureenMc It happens every few years- 2009, 2012, and 2018 have been the most recent. There was supposed to be one in 2020, but we all know how that ended. Finally, finally it's coming around again, and I'll be sure to keep posting about it! If you're in Facebook, you can follow "The Betsy-Tacy Convention" for updates. 3mo

Andrea313 @LeahBergen I've been several times, it's always a lot of fun! Tours of Deep Valley sites, sometimes workshops, and speakers have included Meg Cabot, Jia Tolentino, and Laura Lippman. 3mo

quietjenn Oh, maybe? Plenty of time to make plans and it would be so fun … 3mo

Andrea313 @quietjenn YES, do it! I love that the date is announced so far out, plenty of time to make those plans.... 3mo

MaureenMc @Andrea313 I followed them on FB. I mentioned it to my daughter & she is definitely interested! 3mo

Andrea313 @MaureenMc Yay! So hope to see you there! 3mo

#weirdwords #weirdwordwednesday @CBee

Pulchritude: beauty

“How rare pulchritude is among the Irish, I said to myself; therefore what a trouble is made when it does appear...“

CBee Lovely word! 3mo

Ruthiella This word always mixes me up because it sounds to me like it should mean the opposite. Maybe because of the similar sounding “putrid”? 3mo

rubyslippersreads I learned this word from the #BetsyTacy books. 3mo

Daisey I‘m with @Ruthiella. This word always sounds like it should be the opposite of beauty to me. 3mo

Heaven to Betsy / Betsy in Spite of Herself | Maud Hart Lovelace

pick

This series is a sheer delight! These installments cover Betsy‘s freshman and sophomore years at Deep Valley High School, and all of the angst and excitement involved in coming of age. (Surprisingly, I don‘t find Betsy‘s angst annoying, unlike that of more modern protagonists. 😆) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

LeahBergen I don‘t find it annoying either! 😆 6mo

MaureenMc @LeahBergen 😂 6mo

kspenmoll Love the cover! 5mo

Betsy-Tacy and Tib (Betsy-Tacy, #2) | Maud Hart Lovelace

Two of my favorite books are on sale for #kindle today. #BetsyTacy #KindleDeal #ebook

MaureenMc I was intrigued by Mrs. Muir. I‘ll definitely pick it up now (I always trust your recommendations!). 7mo

mabell Oh perfect season to try the Ghost and Mrs. Muir! 7mo

rubyslippersreads @MaureenMc What a nice compliment. ☺️ After you‘ve read it, you might want to watch the movie with Gene Tierney and Rex Harrison. 7mo

rubyslippersreads @mabell Tis the season! 👻 7mo

dabbe @rubyslippersreads I've seen the movie TONS of times and love it! Is the book close in plot to the movie? 🤩 7mo

rubyslippersreads @dabbe Yes and no. I love the book, but I think I love the movie even more. ❤️ 7mo

LeahBergen Two that you‘ve already made me buy in the past! 😆😆 7mo

dabbe @rubyslippersreads That's unusual, isn't it? But hey, it's Tierney and Rexie! BTW, I had a huge crush on him after this movie, MY FAIR LADY, and even DR. DOLITTLE! 🤩🤩🤩 7mo

rubyslippersreads @dabbe Did you know his nickname used to be “Sexy Rexy”? 🤣 7mo

rubyslippersreads @LeahBergen I‘m an enabler. 😹 7mo

dabbe @rubyslippersreads No! Well, that makes me feel better, having my crush on a guy that was 60+ years old when I was 13! 🤩🤣😃 7mo

MaureenMc @rubyslippersreads I really should. I love Rex Harrison! (edited) 7mo

Betsy's Wedding | Maud Hart Lovelace

#tlt thanks @mabell
1. Peeta and Katniss
2. Betsy and Joe
3. Veronica and Logan (i could not watch the new episodes after the first one)
and bonus- Maggie and Glen - i‘m still grieving. Also for fun- Luke and Laura even though it did not last.#nostalgia
anyone else want to play?

dabbe

dabbe 1. From TWILIGHT. YES! 😍
2. Are Betsy and Joe from GREAT EX? LOVED those two! Joe's one of my favorite characters in all of literature! 😍
3. I don't know Veronica and Logan, but are Luke and Laura from GENERAL HOSPITAL? I still watch reruns of them on youtube and am DESOLATE that they didn't last forever! 😢
Thanks for playing! 💜🧡💜 8mo

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @dabbe - Peeta and Katniss are from the Hunger Games… you might be thinking of Bella and Edward? This is such a fun idea - my mind is currently blank but hopefully it‘ll start working soon 😝 8mo

Chrissyreadit @dabbe now i‘m looking up great ex- Betsy and Joe from Betsy Tacy Series and tagged book, and Veronica and Logan from Veronica Mars- TV, Movie and books. 8mo

5feet.of.fury I loved Glen, but everyone always says Glen, and you know who really broke my heart on that show… Beth. I could cry right now about it. 8mo

dabbe @thegirlwiththelibrarybag Oh, shoot! You are absolutely correct! Thank you! 😍 8mo

Chrissyreadit @5feet.of.fury yes Beth‘s death was heartbreaking! 8mo

mabell Such unique choices! Betsy-Tacy is the only one I‘ve read/watched 😆 8mo

Chrissyreadit @mabell i‘m eclectic…🥸 8mo

bthegood @Chrissyreadit @dabbe Now I'm singing “think of Laura, laugh don't cry, I know she'd want it that way“ - omg my whole dorm watched that show!! 😂 (edited) 8mo

Chrissyreadit @bthegood OMG- yes i heard that song in my head as i read your words! 8mo
