It's been a delight to get back in this world! I've been working my way through 2018 Banned Books List. Books like 13 Reasons Why have left me in dire need of a happy read. Imprudence was as refreshing as my Lemon Basil Gin and Tonic on this dreadfully hot day.🍋☂️😽

Do you have a favorite series of books or stack of books that just make you happy by a mere glance at them? My vintage Nancy Drews do that for me. Tell me about your happy books. I'd love to discover some new ones.

batsy ? Have you read the Dana Girls mysteries, also by the "Carolyn Keene" team? I have a handful of my sisters' copies that I've hung on to. 7y

Jess_Read_This @batsy I just got my first copy of a Dana Girls book! The same lady who sold me a few of the nice dj Nancy Drews had one. I couldn't pass it up. I'm kind of excited to compare the two series. 😄I was going to start it this week. 7y

KellyK Love Nancy Drew, girl detective! ❤️ 7y

Tamra Not a series, but I love seeing Edith Wharton, Willa Cather, Maria Sandoz, Patrick Suskind, & other favorite authors all together on shelves. (edited) 7y

Jess_Read_This @KellyK She's just the best! 7y

Jess_Read_This @Tamra ❤️I'm going to have to check out Maria Sandoz and Patrick Suskind. I am not familiar with either author. I haven't read Edith Wharton yet either. 😬 7y

Tamra @Jess_Read_This in my wheelhouse, not necessarily for everyone! 😁 Suskind is not prolific and two are creepy - perfect for Halloween. Perfume & The Pigeon. One short story has a scene with a “booger” on the piano keys at a lesson that my husband and I laughed at with tears rolling & gut aching. 7y

robinb ❤️ Nancy Drew! A current favorite series is the Bess Crawford series (Charles Todd). Also love the Sebastian St. Cyr series (C. S. Harris). Both are historical mystery sets. 7y

AmyG I love your vintage Nancy Drew books! 7y

Jess_Read_This @robinb I've been meaning to read Bess Crawford for so long! I LOVE the St Cyr series. Hands down one of my favorites. Did you see C.S. Harris posted the new cover for Why Kill The Innocent?? It's in black and white; it looks super cool.

Why Kill the Innocent

Jess_Read_This @AmyG Thank you! It's become a new collecting obsession for me. I just love the artwork in the original books. 7y

Jess_Read_This @Tamra Lol!! I just laughed at the idea of a short story having that scene. I'm now for sure going to check Suskind out. 7y

robinb @Jess_Read_This oh wow, I love that cover!! And can‘t wait for it to come out...just wish there wasn‘t such a lag between books. I think you‘ll enjoy Bess! 7y

readinginthedark If you‘re talking about series I read when young, Little House on the Prairie, Boxcar Children, The Chronicles of Narnia, and The Chronicles of Prydain! 7y

wanderlustforwords My Virginia Woolf collection is my favorite!!! 7y

Jess_Read_This @readinginthedark Narnia and the Boxcar Children make me happy too!! I just got my Boxcar paperbacks from when I was kid from my mom and took a trip down memory lane. 7y

Jess_Read_This @wanderlustforwords I think I've seen a few you posted and they are gorgeous. 7y

readinginthedark I should really reread them. I bet my son would love those! 7y

Jess_Read_This @readinginthedark it's been a lot of fun rereading these. Especially reading the original text vs. the revised text. 7y

The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing | Marie Kondo

So many books make me happy: childhood favorite comfort reads, a good thriller or mystery for an escape from the world, and a poem can set the day right. But it is an odd category of books that makes me, a messy, disorganized person, feel happy. I love reading books about organizing and self-improvement. I love trying out a new system. It makes me happy for weeks. Tho I lack follow-through😂😂. #marchintoreading #happybooks

The Indispensable Calvin and Hobbes | Bill Watterson

I am the least Calvin person you'll meet, and I think that's why I love him so much. You know how people read inspiring books every morning? I read Calvin & Hobbes instead. Laughs are hard to come by, more now than ever.
