Another day, another journal…

Alas, I’ve finished this one before the fourth had a chance to arrive. And so, my lazy days with Emma are drawing to a close. For now.

Set in the 1880’s in a tiny English village, these personal tales of Emma M. Lion’s spirited encounters and innermost thoughts are a delight. I love the romance, the quirk, the inexplicable little touches of the otherworldly (e.g. the ghost that haunts their neighborhood). Perfection.

Volume 2 has the honor of being my favorite so far but with so many literary references to Ralph Waldo Emerson (and the tease of an almost-kiss!), Volume 3 isn’t far behind.

I know Pierce isn’t everyone’s favorite but he’s mine so this book was just fan service to me! I don’t think I’ll ever stop recommending this series. It’s so intriguing and whimsical and the male side characters are amazing and of course our main protagonist is witty and spunky. It’s all of my favorite things about regency novels. And the writing is fantastic. Overall great reads and this has been my favorite so far.
