Happy Sunday Shelfie! 😍📚✨
Helllooo friends! I don't usually share Sunday Shelfies on my blog, but I am today! Yay! 🥳🎉
This photo only a shows a small portion of my bookshelves, but still…you can count that...right?
You might be able to catch a small glimpse of books by some of my favorite authors such as Rosamunde Pilcher, Ruby Ferguson, Margery Sharp, Louise Platt Hauck, and Maysie Greig on these shelves. (Also, a few by authors I'm excited about like Margaret Pedler and Anya Seton.)
I'm sure you already know that I'm a huge fan of Noel Streatfeild (check out my Noel Streatfeild Book Collection!), but I also ADORE her YA books written under the name Susan Scarlett 🥰
I wanted to share my current book collection because I just added some gorgeous new vintage editions! Woo-hoo! (So much thanks and love to my parents, my sister Kim, and my in-laws for the birthday money! And, tons of love to Caro (@carosbookcase) for buying me Poppies in England and Ten Way Street! She is always incredibly generous and thoughtful! 🥰💕📚🎁)

Why Do I Love Susan Scarlett Books?
💖 Lively and fun to read
💖 Addictive 'gotta-get-to-the-end' stories
💖 Easy and enjoyable writing style
💖 At least one male and female character (not necessarily the main characters) to love
💖 Cozy details (especially about food and clothing)
💖 Light romances that don't leave you feeling over-emotional or sickly sweet
What I Find Frustrating about Susan Scarlett Books:
❊ Horribly annoying female characters who are lazy, self-centered and absolutely unlikable
❊ I find myself sometimes sighing (possibly loudly and deeply) when there is lack of communication between characters or if the ending feels like it was rushed and I have to go back and see if I'd missed something.
❊ Sometimes the characters' names get confusing because they're similar in some way and I have trouble keeping track of who's who. (Does this happen to you, too?)
BOOK RATINGS:
The Man in the Dark 5🌟Under the Rainbow 5🌟Murder While You Work 4.75🌟Sally-Ann 4.5🌟Babbacombe’s 4.5🌟Peter and Paul 4.5🌟Summer Pudding 4.25🌟Pirouette 4🌟Clothes-Pegs 4🌟
I adore my new vintage book collection but I love the covers on my Dean Street Press Furrowed Middlebrow editions more! 😜 (FUN FACT: I just counted and I only have 36 more DSP FM books to read! I've read 67/103 so far!)
Do you love vintage editions OR modern reprints? (Or both?)
Which cover do you like best? Let me know in the comments! 🤔
Happy Sunday, Beautiful Friends! ☀️💛🤗💛☀️
