#SummerCardSwap 2025

@Deblovestoread did you make the quilted flowers for this card?! Such a neat idea and so crafty! 🧵 🪡

#SummerCardSwap 2025

@ShelleyBooksie thank you for the homemade card, super creative!

I love the “sparrow” and compass stickers, me thinks they be a little piratey 🏴‍☠️🙃

And the peacock 🦚 on the envelope ✉️ bodes to my love of Pride and Prejudice 🥰

#PemberLittens

Wonderland Yarns created an Always Austen quarterly shawl subscription box with knit or crochet patterns! And they included some bookish items as well.

Second quarter is in tribute to Pride and Prejudice! 🥰

My 20th Anniversary Pride and Prejudice phonograph came in! It‘s neat to listen to the score in this new way; same great quality!

Wowzers what an ending! I had a feeling not all was going to end well.

A gripping tale of England and France before and during the French Revolution and Madam Guillotine.

In typical Dickens fashion, once we got our set cast of characters, they were all related in some way or another. Some of the connections had to wait to be revealed till near the end.

Current #audiobook Thank you #hoopla for having a copy for me to listen!

Loving the witty and sarcastic banter of Eve and Tristan. This book has the same tone as the first; I‘m impressed.

Next month August 2025 book three comes out! I‘ll be ready.

#AutumnComfortSwap

I signed up - can‘t wait! 🍂

In my current #ebook read, the questers have until June 27, which is TODAY, to succeed! I‘m hopeful I‘ll finish the book today too ☺️

#SummerCardSwap 2025

I LOVE the old books bookmark 🔖

Enjoy your vacation @Texreader !!!

#ReadYourKindle July 2025

I didn‘t get to June‘s pick, but I‘ll be reading it…

From my BookFunnel account I went with “Christmas in July!”

Goal is to read one from the “numbers” selected.

I believe all the other #PemberLittens must have snagged this amazing Jane Austen book scene, because it doesn‘t show up even if the cart has over $150! I‘ll be sure to check my local Bricks & MiniFigs store to get a set! #LEGO

I signed up for an account with https://www.audiobooks.com/ because a Hearts Through History author had some #audiobook holds for her first book. I figured I could fit listening to it in my reading schedule. Downside another account, password, and app. Plus side seems like they have a lot of content, even for free!

I spotted two of my favorite narrators listed: Simon Vance and Katherine Kellgren!!! 🩷

An engaging tale! The romance is well woven throughout the story. I love the funny and sometimes literal phrases used that are supposed to be said in jest. It‘s quite the writing style and I‘ll see if the author can continue it in the next book.

There are certainly some loose ends that have gotten me to take the bait and continue the series.

#SummerCardSwap 2025

@Bookwormjillk what a lovely poem and ice cream magnet bookmark - thank you!

#SummerCardSwap 2025

@kspenmoll your haiku is adorable, definitely gives a sense of summer!

#SummerCardSwap 2025

@KadaGul I admire the quote you included: “Live in the sunshine. Swim in the sea. Drink in the wild air.” Ralph Waldo Emerson Perfect for SUMMER ☀️

#SummerCardSwap 2025

@BookwormAHN I LOVE the sticker on the back of the envelope, super fantastical 🌹 I do agree, sometimes one just needs a 🌈 🦄 🦋 🐈!

#SummerCardSwap 2025

From the amazing host of the card swap @TheBookHippie

Thanks fellow #MittenLitten for all the CLOUD items! Hopefully they offer more shade than rain. ☺️

#SummerCardSwap 2025

A super cool cancelled envelope from the ALASKAN FRONTIER! @Cheryl_Russell I hope to someday make it to your great state!

#SummerCardSwap 2025

@dabbe I noticed all the effort you put into the swap, from the return label, created a card, and the fun activity sheet! The stickers are super cool 😎

#SummerCardSwap 2025

The envelopes ✉️ have gone out in the mail today! I hope they reach everyone in time. If not, there‘s still the whole summer to enjoy the contents! ☺️

Started this #Audiobook on #hoopla today! Already listened a couple of hours and lovin the snarky vibe.

Thanks to the lovely @jenniferw88 I received my second #SummerCardSwap in the mail today!

I don‘t blame you for staying inside and eating a yummy treat! 🍦

With my local chapter of #JASNA we were fortunate to see a few selections of the rare books collection at the Detroit Public Library today. #MittenLitten

Isn‘t this just gorgeous?! 🥰

Fine Bindings, 1912, London
Poems by Tennyson
Moroccan leather with pearls and stones

Starting this one to see what all the hype is about.

My one friend likes LitRPG stories. One of his favorite authors is Pirateaba. Has anyone read this story or others by the author?

One of my coworkers left this bookmark at my desk 🥰 They know I read books 📚

#PemberLittens

I was able to snag this P&P retelling for free before the price went up. Thanks #BookBub!

Looks super cute - how Austen got “inspiration” for her Pride and Prejudice novel.

I received my first #SummerCardSwap from @BkClubCare ! ☺️

I‘ve participated in some other card and book(ish) swaps. I try to check @LitsyEvents every month, so I can spot any readalongs I want to participate in or other swaps to sign up for. lol I too do extra stuff on work time! Can‘t say I have any summer titles in mind. Yes, this year I started participating in the #ReadYourKindle challenge. And two book clubs keep my months full of reading!📖

Book Club discussion WITH the author tonight (5/2025), via zoom!

This was such a sweet tale of Elizabeth and Darcy with witty banter and a flirtation that leads to so much more! Darcy isn‘t one not to converse with those he doesn‘t know well, instead he‘s more forthcoming. Even Anne and Georgiana are more confident. There were several paraphrased quotes from P&P!

I highly recommend for any #PemberLittens

#ReadYourKindle

June 2025 picks.

Goal: to read one book.

Lovin‘ this trilogy series!!! Lots of twists and turns and dire consequences for the main characters. Has me on the edge of my seat wanting to find if everyone will get what they desire before time runs out.

Listening to the #audiobook on #hoopla!

@TheBookHippie released the recipient list for #SummerCardSwap 2025! I‘m super excited and already bought the notecards and the stamps to send them out. Now I just need to add some SUMMER and mail them ☺️

#LittleFreeLibrary has teamed up with the new The Librarians: The Next Chapter TV show on TNT. On Sunday May 25, 2025, the participating LFLs will have special show swag, between 12-2pm.

I‘m super excited there are two LFL near me - a new one too, in Michigan! #MittenLitten

Stopped at my local B&N today to browse! I came across these HUGE cardboard books 📚 Too fun!!!

Stopped at my local B&N today to browse! I came across these HUGE cardboard books 📚 Super fun!

I‘m so glad I was able to re-read this Jane Austen classic! It‘s been years and was a delightful listen! Henry Tilley calls Catherine out so many times for her overactive imagination and jumping to conclusions based off of her reading novels! Austen did a great satire on the Gothic novels of her time!

I finished ahead of the #JaneAdjacent readalong and am prepared for Victorian Book Club‘s discussion early next month.

A happy coincidence for the #LittensLoveRomance two chapters a day readalong with @StayCurious ! It is MAY and the book‘s content happens in MAY!!!

This is 3.5 story in the series!

It‘s a fun “jumper” story to give more closure for the previous couple and to open the story up for the next book!

I‘m so glad I came across this readalong with @BarbaraJean !

I already read The Wreath, so I‘ll pick up with July‘s book of The Wife!

Listening to this #Audiobook for #JaneAdjacent readalong with @Crinoline_Laphroaig this month! And it worked out that it will also be for Victorian Book Club discussion early next month!

I‘m all caught up through chapter 14. #ReadAChapterADay

#SummerCardSwap 2025

I just signed up! I love getting snail mail! ☺️

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSedO4hO64qXnbrU2YGG9Wznn3clvSDL5368mOS_...

I‘m not sure who the host is, but thank you for coordinating!

Happy Mother‘s Day!

My daughter knows me well and got me this Pride and Prejudice card game! 🥰

I stopped in at the Hallmark, Little Green Apple, today and I stumbled upon TWO ROWS OF BOOKS!!!

I never knew they stocked books! They‘re not even books made into their movies. They‘re commercial fiction and popular titles out now!

Has anyone else seen this at their Hallmark?

There‘s still time to download FREE #audiobooks!!!
May 9 and 10, 2025

https://romanceaudiobookworms.com/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR7IVR05xccerEGJyEG0...

I got the tagged book and another companion story to a different series for free. Yes, they‘re audio and not ebooks!

I‘m reading this from my April #ReadYourKindle challenge.

It‘s a shorter story, but still sweet and well developed. A sea pirate is trying to retire on land. While she a Scottish lass is trying to do her duty by her family all the while wanting so much more from life.

I finished just in time to discuss at Victorian Book Club!

This was an aggravating book, as Sue was very contrary in her ideals and Jude went along with her whims. The narrative circled and I felt like we were getting nowhere. There is a shocker that I didn‘t see coming.

#ReadYourKindle

I wasn‘t able to read April‘s pick, so I‘m going to be a little ambitious and see if I can‘t read two ebooks, plus my other book club picks, in May.

#Two4Tuesday

1. Yes, about 500. Over 200 of them are my #PnPCovers collection! ☺️

2. A super engaging story. I can‘t wait to read the rest of the series!

Anyone can play!
