It’s Weekend, Let’s Read: 100 years of The Blue Castle
Today I’m bringing you a suggestion I have on my TBR, The Blue Castle by L. M. Montgomery, the same author of Anne of Green Gables. Contrary to Anne, this book was written for adults, so check its trigger warnings.
The Blue Castle was first published in 1926, so it’s a good excuse to read it this year and celebrate its centenary. You can get the book through Project Gutenberg or, if you have a Kobo, through the specific format at Standard Ebooks.

“I enjoy sharing my books as I do my friends, asking only that you treat them well and see them safely home.”
— A very spiffy owner’s bookplate found inside a copy of My Three Years With Eisenhower: The Personal Diary of Captain Harry C. Butcher, 1946.

#fleamarket today. Found some #books, the most interesting one is the following: it's an Italian translation of Paolo Giovio's Historiarum sui temporis (Histories of his time), 1608, printed in Venice. Sadly, only the second part. Binding's parchment is suffering signs of time, but not too badly.
Incision on frontespice depicts goddess Concordia (harmony/agreement in Latin).
