Legible enough for anyone to name the book?

Can you read my hand well enough to ID the book from these quotes?

Trying to learn cursive, coming across an issue :(

I’m really struggling with certain letter combinations such as in “any” which seem to not look right to me. Is there any possible suggestions that could help me to make this word more legible? I just feel like you can hardly read it unless you kind of have an idea of what it’s meant to say.

Here is my handwriting what do you think

So I have been trying to write in cursive again when I got a fountain pen in September. My cursive has been through different styles, but now I have landed on a good style (for me at least).

I realised my hand has gotten rusty af.

Nothing much, just watching Bridgerton S1E1. No subs, so felt like writing down what I heard in a segment, as a non-Eng speaker lol. I wonder how I can improve my cursive (this is my running handwriting as well).

Newbie! Bought a calligraphy set…deep end…jump

I started journaling this year. That led to wanting to improve my handwriting. I almost never write anymore other than scribbling my signature on a credit card receipt. Shockingly, it was much like riding a bike!

Where to Learn Vere Foster's Civil Service Script

So I recently learned about Vere Foster's Civil Service Script that was taught in the UK in the late 19th century to the mid-20th century. I think it looks wonderful and want to learn it but i can't find full instruction for it (only random copybooks with maybe a little info). Do you know where i can find the copybooks that specifically taught this script to students in the 1940s (in full)? Any help is much appreciated!

not my usual print/cursive-can you read all of it?

I only learned this week, via a post from u/tomorrows-dream, that cursive can have a significanclt benefit for some people with dyslexia and dysgraphia

Calligraphy? Stylized cursive? Idk

Trying my hand at calligraphy styled fonts using a flex nib. The spacing and flow need a lot of work. Suggestions for improvement are most welcome.

I just grew up writing messy but it’s okay-ish now

for those who aren’t able to read it, my handwriting has developed a tad-bit neater over the years as my first year at university, my professor’s claimed my handwriting was “unreadable” so instead of writing every assignment, i was typing them out instead.

I’ve got a bit of half cursive going on, advice?

I would love to write more legibly when I’m not consciously thinking to myself “I should write legibly so this person can read it”, haha. I know my r’s definitely need improvement. And, looking at the pic instead of the paper, I feel like my letters are pretty uneven but i’m not sure what I should practice to help with that. Any constructive criticism and advice is welcome! Thank you all!

Showing my progress

I put feedback on in case anyone wants to offer any. But just wanted to show my cursive and see what people thought of it. Have a great day and God bless!
