Rebelling against a restrictive and rigid faith, mad support for the LGBTQ+, a girl inspired by art, and a literal musical triumph over the high school alt-right? What's not to love?! Sure, Hope's mom's turnaround in perspective felt a little too good to be true, and OK, I skipped most of the sci-fi story-within-a-story, but overall, so enjoyable. I can never resist self-discovery, good friends, and great music. #BooksAndBlooms

These Precious Days | Ann Patchett
post image

Sunday night with blooming peonies and a new book, rain pouring down, a bellini in hand, and another day off tomorrow. Vibes are immaculate. Books of essays aren't always my jam, but a good friend and reading buddy recommended this one, so here we go! #CurrentlyReading #BooksAndBlooms

LeahBergen I love peonies! 5mo
Andrea313 @LeahBergen Same! These ones are so fragrant, I keep wandering by just to get a bit of the scent. Fresh flowers are probably my favorite small luxury. 5mo
GinaKButler I loved this book! 5mo

The Watsons | Jane Austen

Last time I dipped into Austen's unfinished works, I skipped The Watsons, so time to right that wrong! I'm addicted to these gorgeous editions, can't stop won't stop (collecting books I don't need). #PemberLittens

This is such a a lovely and interesting biography! Light on the personal details of the life of Frances Hodgson Burnett but heavy on her relationship with the gardens she tended throughout her life, in England, New York, and Bermuda. Naturally it also focuses quite a bit on The Secret Garden and includes three other examples of her "garden writing" that were such a treat to read. Fellow Mary Lennox girls, you should definitely pick this one up!

LeahBergen This sounds lovely! 8mo

And I'm caught up! We've encountered bathing machines and a trip to Weymouth and a growing confidence between Jane and Frank Churchill and...drumroll... Jane's first proposal of marriage! I'm not entirely certain I could ever buy into this story enough for it to become personal headcanon, but I'm definitely enjoying the ride. #PemberLittens

Playing catch-up and filling your feed with #simonsnow content. My Original copy of Carry On was pretty but I found out there was a Special Bookshelf Edition to match Wayward Son and Anyway the Wind Blows Cover Art. Had to have it. (It will be in my next post.) Love the Wayward Son and #AWTWB cover art. And I like covers to match on my #forevershelf. #booksandblooms #coverlove 🤓

Crinoline_Laphroaig I donated my original copy to my Library. Carry On was available on OverDrive but Library didn't have a Print Copy. 3y

After a couple of serious reads I needed something lighter. This was just the thing. Fun with lots of Indian Food and Happy Ever After.
Plus it looked great with last week's Farmer Flowers. ❣

I finished the last #Bridgerton book last night! Gratitude goes to Julia Quinn for this wonderful, whirlwind fever dream, to my best friend for talking this series up to me for years and years, and to Francesca and Michael for being literally perfect.
