Early birthday gift from @sketchesbyboze: the Nonesuch #DavidCopperfield! πŸ˜πŸ“šπŸ–€πŸŽ© Together with the #NicholasNickleby he gave me last year, they are just the loveliest books I own πŸ₯Ή After an overnight shift, it's nice to have some holiday downtime to read. β€οΈπŸ“š #TheQuincunx by #CharlesPalliser is such a Dickensian, strange enigma of a book! Mysterious strangers clad in black, corpse candles, dark passageways, Chancery curses... Birthday/Christmas gifts from @sketchesbyboze 😍❀️ (besides the 1863 London maps, of course!) When #DickensClub co-hosts (Rach and Boze!) get together, it is really a Pickwickian Christmas!!! πŸ˜πŸ“šπŸŽ©πŸ–€πŸ–€ Read-alouds, nerdy movies and online webinars, visits to the university library and gifts of books and maps of 1863 London, editing our book reviews for the Dickens Fellowship journal and recording a podcast on #AChristmasCarol, going to the #OregonShakespeareFestival for a spoof on A Christmas Carol (as though our heroine were haunted not by three Spirits but by the Marx Brothers), going to coffeeshops to talk about writing and worldbuilding...and even discovering and watching an old musical of The Pickwick Papers. How I'm going to miss my Dickensian other half! πŸ˜­πŸŽ„β€οΈπŸ’š But it was the greatest Christmas gift ever. With my beautiful sister Maire on her wedding (Oct 1st) πŸ’™πŸ’™πŸ’™πŸ«‚ and the siblings and fam...and, of course, our darling niece! Love you, sis...it was all so beautiful πŸ’™ My #reading corner is beginning to look a lot like (a Dickensian) #Christmas πŸŽ©πŸ–€πŸŽ„πŸŽ„β„οΈβ„οΈ #shareaquote inspired by @pezzasclassicbooks πŸ–€πŸ–€πŸ–€ Current #buddyreads with @sketchesbyboze:
