Found this on a free book trolley this morning in the lobby of the library where I work sometimes. Free books are always nice.

I‘m vacationing and visiting my daughter in England, so I plan to have a low-key and relaxed #20in4 readathon, with only a couple of hours of reading each day.

However, I‘m having fun doing book-related things, like seeing today a couple of places where the Father Brown series is filmed.

I didn‘t read the entire collection, but I will be. Father Brown is a very like-able character. It‘s an interesting take to have a Catholic priest solve mysteries! ☺️ He explains that after listening to confessions for as long as he has, he knows the hearts of men better than most. I always enjoyed the reveal and the recurring character of Flambeau. I don‘t think this is a collection you read all at once but over time.

mabell I agree. I read (and really enjoyed!) a few stories, but the book has since been residing on the shelf. Great mysteries, but too much to read all at once! Ironically, my mom called a couple of days ago to say she just read a story about a Father Brown, and he outsmarted a criminal- it was such a great tale! I replied there are plenty more where that came from 🤣 So funny, twice in one week this book has come up! 2y
AshleyHoss820 @mabell Yes, definitely! I think they‘re good to pick up and put down sporadically, but definitely not a binge read! Oh my gosh, though, I love that story! Maybe it‘s time for you to take Father Brown off the shelf! 😂☺️ 2y
tokorowilliamwallace Yay, Chesterton! Though I prefer his voluminous and prolific essay collections. His thought process is just so fun to experience and trace, as with Slavoij Zizek. 2y

AshleyHoss820 @tokorowilliamwallace Interesting! I‘ll have to give that a look!! ☺️ 2y
mabell I think you‘re right - time to read more Father Brown! But I promised to pass on the volume to my mom, so it may be a bit. 😂 2y
AshleyHoss820 @mabell The best thing about books is that they‘re there when you‘re ready for them! ☺️ (edited) 2y

Forgot to review this...it is a good collection of stories, but definitely something you have to be in the mood for. Great description and asides in the narration, but rather more casual racism in said narration than I remember 😐

I might end up finishing this collection today; I'm tired of having it on my bedside table!
Some of the typesetting is a bit weird, such as the upside-down "m" ?
I've read just over 6 h between Sat and Sun and should rack up another 2 or 3 hours this afternoon. ?

Reading in bed with a flashlight at the ready. High winds caused our power to go out for about 30 seconds to a minute, so I want to be prepared for any other outages. (It was NOT FUN trying to find the flashlight while it was pitch black!)
Stay upright, southern Ontario Littens!

AshleyHoss820 Gracious! Stay safe! 6y
Swe_Eva Oh, hope electricity stays on! 6y
rabbitprincess @AshleyHoss820 Thanks! The plan is to hide in bed until the winds pass 😬 @Swe_Eva I hope so too! And tomorrow I look into getting an uninterruptible power supply for my computer 😑 6y

EvieBee Oh no! But great company! 6y
rabbitprincess @EvieBee Yes! It's taking a long time to get through this, though, because it's my bedside book and I don't always read it at night. Have to be more disciplined about reading it. 6y
EvieBee @rabbitprincess I‘m trying to get back into reading multiple books at once (I used to be a master at it) and the bed side book helps a lot! It‘s just slow going. Reading my bedside book this morning actually because it‘s been neglected for about a week lol! 6y
rabbitprincess @EvieBee I tried reading only one book at a time and it was physically painful 😂😂 I need at least two, and nowadays it's more like five: a bus book, an at-home book, two Serial Readers, and an audio for when I do chores. 6y

Judging from this comment and the disparaging remarks about two other characters' beards, I suspect that Chesterton feels very strongly about facial hair ?

I adore Father Brown! I don‘t want it to end so I only allow myself a few episodes a week...yet I‘ve come to the end of season 3 already! I‘ll have to read the short stories. Already own a Kindle copy.

Anyone else a fan?

AnneCecilie I love this series. I have seen it on TV and think I have seen all the episodes. I would really recommend "Granchester". This also had a priest in the main role, only younger. 6y
EvieBee @AnneCecilie Yes! I have that series in my Netflix queue, but was debating if I should read a few books first. It usually doesn‘t matter which order I do it in...but after this series finishes I think I will start it!! Thank you! ♥️ 6y
dsfisher Love the series and I want to read the books. ❤️ 6y

WhatDeeReads My whole family loves father brown and everyone has nicknames from the characters in the show. 6y
EvieBee @dsfisher I think I‘ll start them when I finish the series, too! 6y
EvieBee @quietjenn I had to check that there would continue to be episodes! So happy there‘s another season in the works. I was devastated when Inspector Lewis abruptly ended. 6y
EvieBee @MaureenMc Haha! That is awesome! 6y
EvieBee @LondElle89 I agree! Slowly savoring is best. I have the tendency to blast through series. 🤓 6y
EvieBee @WhatDeeReads Haha too cute! 6y
DivineDiana New to me! Will watch an episode to see if it is for me, but knowing your taste in books, I am thinking it will be! 😉 6y
EvieBee @DivineDiana Aww! We are kindred spirits. I will say that the first two episodes didn‘t pull me in completely but I persisted. 6y
DivineDiana @EvieBee I‘ll remember that! 6y
GarthRanzz Definitely a fan here! Just getting to watch series four. I was sad to see, though, that they went back to the shorter seasons with series four and six. Maybe they purposely alternate the odd seasons to be longer. 6y
EvieBee @GarthRanzz I scooped it last week and noticed the same thing! (edited) 6y

Sarah83 @LeahBergen @Bambolina_81 and I did a buddyread with the first book. The stories are quite nice, but especially the first book is a bit annoying, if you read story by story. We want to read the other stories aswell, but only a story a day or a story a week. 😊 But you should give it a try, if you like Agatha Christie. 😉 6y
