jlhammar Look at those lovely Pyms! How fun. I still have A Few Green Leaves to look forward to. Really enjoyed the other two. 2y

MrsK @jhammar I‘d driven over an hour to the only bookstore around. Spent 2 hours looking over everything and thought I was going to leave empty handed! I was about to give up, then there the were! So happy I found them! 😊 2y

BkClubCare Fun! 2y

A Few Green Leaves | Barbara Pym

Pym's last novel, and we're in familiar territory with an English village as setting, and a typical Pym cast of spinsters and oddballs. The comedy is so gentle it's easy to miss, and nothing much happens more dramatic than a Bring and Buy sale or a bit of village gossip. Which, of course, is exactly what makes it so true to most of our lives.

BkClubCare This was on my Back to the Classics list and I was supposed to do a buddy read. I think we forgot, tho. Moving up my tbr… 3y

A Few Green Leaves | Barbara Pym

Wrapping up my #20in4 reading. I wasn‘t very disciplined in accurately keeping time ⏰😬. I know I read for an hour and a half on Friday after work and then...? But I did manage to finish Dr. Wortle‘s School, Adulthood Rites and Permanent Midnight. Now I‘ve started the pictured two books and will read for a couple of hours tonight before I sleep. 😀
