I feel a bit giddy finally talking to you all about this series. If you'll remember, I fell madly in love with The Q when it came out a few years ago. Now, Beth Brower is writing The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion — a series of novellas set in London in 1883. Each volume is an excerpt from the incorrigible Emma's journals, and the first two volumes are already available with the third on the way soon. I think they'd make rather perfect pandemic reading. Humorous and charming down to their bones, they're just what the doctor ordered to lift your spirits in this uncertain time that just proves to be too much some days. If you're experiencing one of those days, I suggest giving Volume 1 a go (it's only 99 cents on Kindle, $4.99 for a trade paperback copy). It will surprise exactly none of you that I own print and digital editions of both volumes. Miss Emma M. Lion has waited long enough.

I LOVE this cover and am already imagining it on my bookshelf.
ReplyDeleteSo do I, Kristen. I let out a gasp of appreciation the moment I saw it.
DeleteOh yes, I have preordered this. :) Uh huh, we're thinking alike on this one.
ReplyDeleteGood on you, speedy! I can't wait.
Delete* girly squeal*
ReplyDeleteHehe. Precisely.
DeleteI like this cover aside from the fact the model looks a little too young to me.
ReplyDeleteShe does look young. But then the original one looked way old to me. And, uh, WELL-ENDOWED.
DeleteI want to get a copy of this too!
ReplyDeleteI just can't envision not having it on my shelf!
DeleteNice! Much more like my idea of Kate.
ReplyDeleteLove this! I hope this means new covers for the rest of the series!
ReplyDeleteWouldn't that be sweet?
DeleteNice. I'll have to preorder this one since I'm curious about the bonus material (!).
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday. We moved yesterday and things are crazy. I tried to comment twice using my laptop without luck. I also loved the pictures of your children.

I know! I'm hoping for Curran POVs and maybe some stuff we haven't read.
DeleteThanks so much, Karen. I can't believe you're moved! I know how crazy that can be. Hope unpacking and settling in goes smoothly for you.
Thanks, Angie. Now that I'm able to use my desktop computer, the world feels right again! I'm ignoring the chaos behind me... K
DeleteI wonder what that first time in print thing will be. I think they blogged about it, but I just forgot. I already own all of the books, but I doubt I'll be able to resist getting a copy of this, simply because I'm a Kate and Curran addict.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm thinking possibly some Curran POV stuff, but I can't remember for sure.
DeleteLove finding fellow addicts, btw. I am an unrepentant one. :)
Oh man. Why do publishers do this to us?!
ReplyDeleteI know, Christine. It's impossible to resist!
