are reading the series again as four friends discussing every plot twist, literary reference, mysterious backstory, and questionable decision that make the books impossible to put down.

All rights to the story belong to that presumptuous proliferator of Emma's journals, Beth Brower.

This podcast is an independent fan project created for commentary, discussion, and celebration of the series and is intended to constitute fair use.

Please accept our invitation to read along with us and cheer on one of our favorite citizens of St. Crispians.

'Cause there is murder.

And then I listened to The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lyon, Volume 4 by Beth Brower.

I gave it four stars.

I'm fully invested in the series now, and I'm excited, because she announced book number nine.

And then what else did I have? Okay, this is a new one for me.

This was The Emma and Lyman Series by Beth Brower.

I read all eight volumes this year.

It, I took, like, six months to read them all.

We recorded this conversation with our friend Jessica at the end of August, and a lot can happen in just about a month in the world of Emma M. Lyon.

Since we recorded, Beth Brower has announced that she has signed with Penguin, which has acquired the U.S. rights to 13 volumes of the unselected journals of Emma M. Lyon.

And it's a huge milestone for a series that was originally independently published and that has now sold more than a million prints and e-book copies in the U.S. And perhaps most excitingly, Volume 9 finally has a release date.

It is February 23, 2027.

All right.

Welcome, everyone, to our book club chat about The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lyon by Beth Brower.

I am Janelle Morris, and I'm here with some good friends.

So the book for what I would consider grownups, but I think it's perfectly, it would be great for YA as well.

It's The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lyon by Beth Brower,

excuse me.

And there's eight books so far in the series.
