The Unselected Journals #2
The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion, Volume 2
“I was sitting at my desk reading, with a cup of tea, my windows flung open, when I heard The Tenant enter his garret, just on the other side of the wall from myself.”
The Year is 1883 and Emma M. Lion has returned to her London neighbourhood of St. Crispian’s. But Emma’s plans for a charmed and studious life are sabotaged by her eccentric Cousin Archibald, her formidable Aunt Eugenia, and the slightly odd denizens of St. Crispian’s.
Emma M. Lion offers up her Unselected Journals, however self-incriminating they may be, which comprise a series of novella-length volumes. Armed with wit and a sideways amusement, Emma documents the curious realities of her life at Lapis Lazuli House.

About the author
Beth Brower
18 books843 followersLike many of my siblings, I would sneak out of bed, slip into the hallway, and pull my favorite books from the book closet. I read my way through the bottom shelf, then the next shelf up, and the shelf above that, until I could climb to the very top shelf, stacked two layers deep and two layers high, and read the titles of the classics. My desire to create stories grew as I was learning to read them.
Subsequently, I spent my time scribbling in notebooks rather than listening to math lectures at school.
I graduated with a degree in literary studies, and have spent several years working on the novels that keep pounding on the doors of my mind, as none of my characters are very patient to wait their turn. I currently live in Orem, Utah, with my wonderful chemist husband, and books in every room of the house.

So many cliffhangers and mysteries! I did myself a favor when I bought all the volumes currently available. 😂 The Tenant is rather dreamy. I surprisingly enjoy Roland. And what’s with the Roman? Islington is so intriguing. And so is Jack! What is he up to?? I love Emma. And Agnes. And Tybalt. Beth Brower is brilliant at giving us hints of the characters’ backgrounds in such a tantalizing way. On to the next volume!

Onto book 3! I’m finding myself a tiny bit obsessed with this novella series.
May 4, 2024
After reading the first volume, I wasn’t sure if I would keep reading the series or if I liked it enough to continue. My thoughts upon finishing the second volume are different. I need to know what is going to happen now, and I think I’m hooked!
Emma is such a lovable but unique, witty, and eccentric character. I live for the messes she gets herself into. I found myself laughing out loud at several parts. I can’t wait to read the next one!
Content: 5/5: similar to book one, there are one or two d-words but used in a realistic context, not necessarily as expletives.

Just as amazing the second time through, if not more so. If all other books were spirited away from my library and it was graced only with the works of Beth Brower, I would be just fine.
Original review, December 2022:
Every single one of Emma Lion's male contemporaries is an absolute enigma, and I am here for it.
I literally laughed out loud a couple of times-- and very few books catch me by surprise enough for that to happen. So delightful, and I have no idea what is going to happen next.

PROGRESSIVELY INTRIGUING.

For 160 pages, this did take me a lot longer to read than I was hoping for. BUT. I will say as things went on I became more and more involved. I think I’m starting to understand Emma’s voice in the story and the journal entries make for a quirky set-up.
I’m especially involved in the touches of potential romance throughout. I love the sprinkle of romance but I NEED MORE. I think Emma is flat out hilarious and I laughed many times throughout.
I’m excited to continue reading these as I love the narrator and how nice of switch up it is from whatever big books I’m generally holding. These are light, humorous and will definitely bring a smile to your face.
Overall audience notes:
- Historical Fiction
- Language: none
- Romance: flirtations
- Violence: none
- Trigger/Content Warnings: mentions of loss of parents

It’s official: 𝗘𝗺𝗺𝗮 𝗠. 𝗟𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝘆 𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗹. With the wit of Oscar Wilde, the charm of Jane Austen, & the absurdity of Wodehouse, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘜𝘯𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘑𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘌𝘮𝘮𝘢 𝘔. 𝘓𝘪𝘰𝘯: 𝘝𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘮𝘦 2 by Beth Brower delivers hilarity, heart, & a healthy dose of chaos. If you haven’t met Emma M. Lion yet, this is your official invitation to step into her world & stay for tea (or sherry, if that’s more your speed).
📖 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲:
• 🖋️ Emma’s razor-sharp wit will have you crying tears of laughter.
• 🏠 Cousin Archibald’s obsession with morning robes & Lapis Lazuli Minor (you’ll understand—and laugh).
• 💌 Notes exchanged with The Tenant—romantic tension, humor, & mystery all in one.
• 💃 The Duke of Islington’s reluctant flirtation—SWOON.
• 🎭 Sunday sermons featuring Shakespeare (yes, really).
🔎 𝗧𝗼𝗽 𝗠𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗙𝗼𝗿
• 🐱 Tybalt the cat: Here to terrorize everyone but especially Cousin Archibald (a public service, really).
• 💌 Through-the-wall notes: The most romantic pest control solution EVER.
• 📚 The Jane Eyre Society: If you’ve ever wanted to attend a dramatic book club, this is it.
• 🕵️♀️ Wandering objects: Is it a ghost? A Roman? Or just Emma losing things?
• 🎭 Archibald’s drama: Proof that one person can be both repulsive and comedic gold.
• 🕴️ The Duke of Islington: Adding mysterious suaveness and undeniable swoon.
• 🏫 Breaking into Fortitude School: Who knew Victorian rule-breaking could be this much fun?
😂 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗜’𝗺 𝗢𝗯𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗱
Emma’s voice is unmatched—every page feels like sitting down with a hilariously sarcastic friend over tea. Beth Brower’s genius is in making the mundane feel magical. You’ll laugh, swoon, and maybe even snort-tea-out-of-your-nose at Emma’s antics.
This series is the antidote to dreary days and reading slumps. It’s a quirky, clever masterpiece that will have you ordering the next volume before you finish the last page.
⚠️ 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀: Mentions of parental loss and grief. A couple of mild expletives (e.g., “d—word”), used sparingly.

I literally never would’ve picked these books out for myself but a friend lent them to me and i am so glad she did! They are so witty and fun and actually have me laughing out loud at parts! Would definitely recommend.
December 29, 2022
I don’t recall ever finishing a book as quickly as I did this one. Even better than the first. The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion are books that I will read and then reread again.
July 28, 2024
Goodness. I absolutely adore Emma! She is a joy. Laughed all throughout reading.

I might be a little bit obsessed with these books!😊

2024 read-through:
So much happens in this volume! Vol. 1 sets up the world, but this one is where the series really starts to sing. The perfect read for a hospital room, or anywhere.
Second read-through:
This is the volume that had me ordering the entire set in hardcover for my girls. I love that Islington decided to sit in on the meeting of the Jane Eyres! If I were responsible for circulating a forbidden Bronte novel around my repulsive girls' boarding school, I would want Emma to be my Currer Bell.
First time:
Quite simply a delight.

Vol. 1 is great, but vol. 2 is where things pick up. These series bring in the greatest cast of characters, and I mourn that St. Crispian’s is not real.

I'm thankful my sister lent me both of the first two volumes so I could go straight to this one after finishing the first. And now I see I have access to all the others on Kindle Unlimited, so I'll definitely be getting to those soon here.
This is such a creative approach to writing a story. Sure, epistolary is nothing new, but this particular series sets itself above the rest. It's fresh and fun and I'm thoroughly enjoying it so far.

"I am utterly taken." There's just so much dopamine and delight reading these because each sentence makes me smile. It is so satisfying. And it feels like such a jaunty pace even on the entries where "nothing" happens plot-wise.

I never buy books at full price. Never.
I bought all the Emma Lion Journals after reading just the first one.
They are that good. Only 4 stars from me as a protest over writing this Journal
in installments. There may be 24 by the end, I'll go broke!

Dare I call this series a new favorite when I've only finished two of the books? Yes, I dare.
YOU HAVE TO READ THESE BOOKS! Borrow them. Buy them. Ask your library to buy them. I am not usually one to read self-published books, but y'all, this series is the exception that proves the rule.
I liked this second installment even better than the first. Recommended if you like cozy teas, great literature, good friends, witty conversation, and general Victorian hijinks.

I feel a bit giddy finally talking to you all about this series. If you'll remember, I fell madly in love with The Q when it came out a few years ago. Now, Beth Brower is writing The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion—a series of novellas set in London in 1883. Each volume is an excerpt from the incorrigible Emma's journals, and the first two volumes are already available with the third on the way soon. I think they'd make rather perfect pandemic reading. Humorous and charming down to their bones, they're just what the doctor ordered to lift your spirits in this uncertain time that just proves to be too much some days.
Miss Emma M. Lion has waited long enough. Come hell or high water (and really, given her track record, both are likely), she is going to take back possession of her rightful home from her odious Cousin Archibald. Which is how she finds herself setting foot off the train in London (at last) and making her way to the lovely (if rather unusual) neighborhood of St. Crispian's and her lovely (if rather unusual) home Lapis Lazuli House. In the wake of a number of personal tragedies, Emma has been mouldering in the countryside for years with her fatuous and extremely irksome Cousin Matilde, forced to cater to her every whim. Meanwhile, Cousin Archibald has been occupying the home her parents left her when they died and playing fast and loose with her inheritance. Emma is fast approaching her majority and bound and determined to take charge of her own life. But the tyrannical Archibald refuses to give up without a fight, locking up the library, and relegating Emma to the garret. To add insult to injury, it isn't even a whole garret but a portion of one, as Cousin Archibald walled off ten feet of the house, dubbed it Lapis Lazuli Minor, and rented it out to a Tenant in order to pay for his inexplicable morning robe habit. And so Emma is forced to roll up her sleeves and do battle for what should have been hers years ago. And in true Emma M. Lion fashion, she chronicles the ins and outs of her increasingly hilarious and frustrating life with both a critical eye and an abundance of wit.
Emma is a singular personality and one that grows on you immediately upon acquaintance. Her unselected journals are positively Wilde-esque, as she employs a cutting, grandiose, yet always self-effacing approach to her treatment of daily life. Every denizen of St. Crispian's is a fully-fledged character in their own right and one that I would follow beyond Emma's eye were I given the chance. From the hapless Scottish maid/cook Agnes to the truly bewitching (though he would abhor the term) vicar Young Hawkes, who was rather abandoned at his post and who mixes poetry and Shakespeare into his "sermons," cheered on by his rowdy Eton and Oxford mates in the back pew. From the habit that objects in St. Crispian's have of regularly going missing and reappearing in other people's homes to the specter of a Roman centurion who haunts the neighbourhood. To say nothing of the forbidding Duke of Islington, who is the unwitting and unwilling author of Emma's greatest temptation and The Tenant himself, with his quicksilver eyes, who moves into the other portion of the garret across the wall from Emma and begins exchanging notes with her written on torn off scraps of paper and slid through a crack between the boards in the wall. I mean, honestly. The entire host of them are revoltingly charming and winsome and they basically each made me want to tear my hair out by the roots at some points and hug them ferociously hard at others. Well, with the exception of Young Hawkes. He never makes me want to tear my hair out, and I always want to hug him. Not that he'd allow it, of course. As it stands, a number of shenanigans are in the works, a number of games afoot, and I would truly love to chat about them with any and all of you. Until such time as you've had a chance to swallow Emma's tales whole, I'll leave you with possibly my favorite exchange (which is saying something) between Emma and The Tenant (taken from Volume 2). Emma initiates the exchange, and The Tenant's responses are in all caps:
These journals are a joy, I tell you. I can scarcely wait for more.

I've arrived in London without incident.
There are few triumphs in my recent life, but I count this as one. My existence of the last three years has been nothing but incident.

Do you have an obscure fact regarding cartography that would catch the attention of a man whose only other interest is the sweet pea?
I PRESUME THAT WAS A SERIOUS QUESTION?
It was.
THE HEREFORD MAPPA MUNDI IS ORIENTED TO THE EAST. PERHAPS A COMMENT ON THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS? IF HE IS AN ENTHUSIAST, ANY USE OF THE WORD MAPPA MUNDI SHOULD WORK IN YOUR FAVOUR.
Then he sent another:
FAR BE IT FROM ME TO PRY INTO YOUR PERSONAL BUSINESS, BUT ARE YOU CERTAIN THIS IS A MAN YOU WISH TO IMPRESS?
I laughed.
He is moneyed, with a good deal in the funds, three country estates, and would spend his life consumed by cartography and the sweet pea, thus proclaimed an eligible candidate. Alas, not for me, but my cousin, a reality I fully accept.
USE THE WORD THEORY IF YOU CAN. MEN WHO THINK THEY KNOW A GREAT DEAL FIND SATISFACTION FROM THE WORD.
THE VERY LITTLE I KNOW ABOUT YOUR LIFE EXHAUSTS ME.
These journals are a joy, I tell you. I can scarcely wait for more.

No longer shall I deny this series 5 Stars - this was an absolute delight to read and I am entranced by this extraordinarily well written cast of characters and quaint, semi-magical corner of 1883 London.

I continue to be delighted, and especially liked the quirkiness of “the Janes” in this volume, plus the journaling Duke, and the continued mystery of the Tenant. Looking forward to Vol. 3.
October 24, 2024
I knew I would love these based on the reviews of so many trusted friends--and I have NOT been disappointed. On to Volume 3!
March 14, 2020
Yay for more Emma! So many more escapades and possibilities of romance...maybe, perhaps, we shall see? Whatever the future yet holds for Emma, I am so here for it. Please write more, Ms. Brower! I loved this second little peek into Emma's inner musings and it was as delightful as the first. Emma is awesome, the end. (As are quite a few of her neighbors and townspeople. Their quirkiness adds so much to Emma's own quirks and perspective on life.) Such a wonderful little book! (But seriously. I truly hope more volumes are yet to come!)
EDIT: Read it again and it still makes me grin with warm fuzzies. I love Emma.

Upon completing Volume 2…”It proved to be nothing short of delightful.”
That being said, I will take dear Emma at her own word when she says, “There is nothing, nothing, nothing that can give any person the excuse to read another’s personal thoughts. Yet here I sit, knowing full well I plan to read more.”

Reading Emma’s journal gives me the feeling that I’ve been let in on an inside joke and have a best friend to laugh with and be intelligent and witty with. She is just SO GOOD. Waiting very impatiently for book three from my library. Absolutely loved this book.

4.5 or 5⭐️. This is the most delightful thing I’ve read in a long time, and Emma is my new favorite character- right up there with Anne Shirley.
