PuddleJumper I have not been doing well with this 😅 I'll go with any book on my shelf! 8mo

Crinoline_Laphroaig I read this a couple of years ago. Bit dated but it has a certain charm. I've notes on my calendar to one day reread along the Timeline. 8mo

julieclair @TheAromaofBooks That‘s because August basically didn‘t exist. Seriously. Where did it go? 🤔😂 8mo

julieclair @PuddleJumper 😂 That strategy works just fine! 8mo

julieclair @Crinoline_Laphroaig I‘m hoping the charming part keeps me occupied on an across-the-pond flight. 🤞 8mo

Allylu I just donated 4 crates of books to our local public library book sale, so I‘m good for this month…and last month… 8mo

TheAromaofBooks For real, it went by in a flash! 8mo

julieclair @Allylu Whoa!!! I‘d say you‘re good for the whole year! Good for you! 8mo

A nice, quiet read. The story of a family and their two week holiday. I think it captured all the emotions it can bring. The anticipation, the anxiety, the settling in …

It was mailed Tuesday to you @Maggie4483 @TheAromaofBooks @inthegreensandblues

marleed I loved this book and the manner in which it was written and published- and republished all these years later. 2y

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! I'm looking forward to this one!! 2y

marleed Input from a random Litsy member… I love Fortnight In September and have purchased it two additional times for gifts. I would recommend reading the history of how and when it was written and published prior to reading because I believe it helps the reader appreciate the simplicity in the story. 2y

LeahBergen I enjoyed all of these! 😊 2y

inthegreensandblues I haven't read any of them and they all sound good. 😊 2y

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! I'm so excited about this round of reading!! I recently read Diary of a Provincial Lady, but haven't read any of the others, so I would be fine with any of them!! 2y

Maggie4483 These all sound great! I‘d be happy with any of them (and I‘m adding all of everyone‘s picks to my TBR). 2y

Deblovestoread I appreciate the input especially the tip about reading the history first since this is going to be my pick. Thank you 😊 @marleed 2y

Deblovestoread I‘m going to go with this one

It‘s the 1930s, and the Stevens family travel to the English seaside town of Bognor. For two glorious weeks they are freed from collars and stockings, from work and duties.

It is the 20th time they go there and their days pass in the same way each year. The family can afford little but what dominates is their constant enjoyment and making the most of every little ritual.

A wonderful book, a typical #Persephone. Highly recommended.

erzascarletbookgasm I‘ve got this on hold. Lovely view! 3y

Ruthiella Love this book! ❤️ 3y

sarahbarnes I‘m waiting on Paradais from the library and have been waiting for a minute. 3y

LeahBergen The Fortnight in September! ❤️❤️ 3y

BarbaraBB @sarahbarnes How are you doing with

The Books of Jacob

sarahbarnes I am still in book 2. 😳 I feel like other books keeping taking my attention. I like it, but it is slow going for me. Maybe that‘s okay. How are you doing with it? 3y

BarbaraBB @sarahbarnes Exactly the same. I‘m not really motivated to pick it up again even though I like it too. Other books all seem more appealing! 3y

CarolynM I need to get The Fortnight in September. Look forward to your review. 3y

Megabooks Hoping SoT arrives soon! 3y

vivastory I can't wait to read the new Melchor! It's going to be published in the states 5/10. Honestly, if it was going to be longer I'd probably order the Fitzcarraldo edition 3y

BarbaraBB @vivastory I don‘t know Melchor, I have no idea what I‘m in for but review are good! 3y

BarbaraBB @Megabooks It did! Today! Finally! 3y

Megabooks Awesome!! 👍🏻👍🏻 3y

BarbaraBB @CarolynM Just wrote my review. It‘s a delightful book. I hope you‘ll read it! @LeahBergen You were so right! 🤍 3y
