I am definitely a mystery addict!

A vivid,lyrical memoir of the author‘s nomadic,early family life in post war England.They have lived with the Roma,in abandoned huts by hops fields,in working class city neighborhoods.But her true love is the open country with its natural bounty.Her memoir is an immersion into the natural world, revealing her deep visceral connection to it.The title is taken from her father‘s motto when life gets tough:”This time next year will be laughing.”

“Sometimes I‘d sit for so long at the base of a favorite tree that I thought I could feel it growing along my spine,…”(224).

Such a luscious read!

Ginger ale for me tonight. Getting Chinese take out. Yum! Watching Midsummer Mysteries & during ads, reading the tagged book. Early to bed with a book is my after dinner plan.

Not feeling the best so I‘ll be curling up at home this evening and reading my way into the new year.

I don‘t have a memoir in the mix to try and cure my reading slump so I‘m going to try cracking this one open to see if it‘s the magic solution for me.

A charming memoir which is a series of vignettes of the life of Jacqueline Winspear, the author of the Masie Dobbs series, one of my fav cozy series. #ARC #audiobook #Netgalley

1) This Time Next Year We'll Be Laughing (Lord, I hope that is true. 😬)
2) Yes!! My boys bought me Rules of Civility for my birthday. 😊🎉

Never read Jacqueline Winspear but thought this would be a safe bet. Incredibly immersive. I felt like I was there with her in the English countryside. I might want to fight her mother on her behalf though.
