📖✨ Today’s book recommendation: THE UNSELECTED JOURNALS OF EMMA M. LION by Beth Brower

-Historical Fiction

I first heard about Emma M. Lion and her journals a few years ago from a friend. She was absolutely obsessed and dying for the third volume to come out. I wasn’t too sure. The title and cover are so simple–could they really hold words worth raving about?

Well, let me tell you, dear reader, yes, yes they do! It’s like the best of Jane Austen and P.G. Wodehouse mixed together. Or a clean Bridgerton mixed with Harriet the Spy. Funny, romantic, witty, cozy, mysterious, and just so, so fun!

Here’s the official BOOK PROMO:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Year is 1883 and Emma M. Lion has returned to her London neighbourhood of St. Crispian’s. But Emma’s plans for a charmed and studious life are sabotaged by her eccentric Cousin Archibald, her formidable Aunt Eugenia, and the slightly odd denizens of St. Crispian’s.

Emma M. Lion offers up her Unselected Journals, however self-incriminating they may be. Armed with wit and a sideways amusement, Emma documents the curious realities of her life at Lapis Lazuli House.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Emma’s voice is sharp as a hatpin, and her observations had me actually laughing out loud. If you love clever heroines, cozy mysteries, and character-driven stories with hidden depth—this one’s a must. 💌🖋️

Here is a friendly warning though: These books always leave you wanting more! Don’t say I didn’t warn you! 😂

Happy reading!
