I've developed a fierce new loyalty to this series that, a few weeks ago, I'd certainly never heard of. The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion are my favorite things ever. There are always scenes guaranteed to make me laugh until I cry. There are always beautiful passages of writing that grab my heart. And there's a core group of characters that I simply adore! More, please, forever!

Let it be noted, I'm quite conservative in my ratings and reviews... 5 stars from me really means something. So when I say that I'm going back and rating every single one of The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion with 5 stars, just know that, yes, they are THAT good. This series has completely bowled me over. It's side-splittingly funny, it's full of heart, it's full of heart-warming absurdity and escapades and friendships and loyalties and bookishness and SO MUCH GOOD STUFF. I adore the world of Emma M. Lion.

These books deserve all the stars.

This first one is a great intro and sets up what is to come as if it were the first episode of a miniseries. Read at least the first two... that was the point at which I couldn't stop. Well... could. But WOULDN'T!


Original post-reading impression:
The jury's still out, but I am Definitely Intrigued.
Refreshing to have such a short installment and know that there are several more to come. A bit like watching a miniseries. ( )
