The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion
The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion is a series of epistolary novels by American author Beth Brower. They are told as the diary entries of an observant, witty young adult orphan living in Victorian London. As of 2026, eight volumes have been published, with the ninth expected in 2027. Brower began self-publishing the series in 2019 and marketing it on social media, and it gained popularity through word of mouth and became a viral phenomenon on social media platforms like BookTok. In 2026, Brower signed deals with major publishers to republish the existing novels and to publish future novels in the series, which she projected to reach 25 books that cover the years 1883 to 1887. The series' protagonist has been compared to literary heroines like Anne Shirley and Elizabeth Bennet.
