repost for @Ruthiella:

Happy Spring #FurrowedMiddlebrowClub members! May's choice is the tagged by club favorite Susan Scarlett, aka Noel Streatfield. Based on previous books by her, I expect a heroine we can root for and a baddie we can love to hate!

January 2025 Book #10
I know this one didn‘t work for everyone but it worked for me. I liked the idea of a novel within a novel. The drama in the novel aunt Addie wrote was so silly, maybe too long but I lol. It was like watching the movie Clue but without a murder. When you thought you had the answer another ridiculous situation appeared. It was fun but the ending also has nostalgic, sad moments for aunt Addie. I like these covers😍 3⭐️

LeahBergen Lovely review! I enjoyed it, too. 😊 4d
Ruthiella I‘m so glad you liked it! 😃 4d

Nicky and Sadie do NOT approve this message. 😼

Except for that slightly anti-feline quote, I loved this book. Every character was interesting, even (or maybe especially) when they were unlikeable. Poor JimJams!

Sace I can see myself rereading this (despite the anti-feline vibe 😂). 3w
Ruthiella Poor Jimjams! 😢 Love the cover! 3w
LeahBergen Oh JimJams!!! 😭 And I hadn‘t seen this cover before. How cool! 3w
quietjenn Oo, love that you found this cover! 3w

Realizing that I never posted about the #furrowedmiddlebrowclub book in March, mostly I guess because I finished while I was sick. I should've expected to be tense and anxious, based on other Moore books and that was certainly the case here. As predicted, I did a lot of internal screaming 😂. In a good way, though!

Ruthiella I also did a lot of nail biting! 😬😂 4w
LeahBergen I was caught off guard by just how anxious this book made me! 😂 4w
CarolynM It was a great read, if a little disturbing 😳 3w
Cathythoughts Great review! Stacked 👍🏻❤️ 3w

I don't know that I've ever been so glad to finish a book! The end was satisfying and I loved Elinor throughout (and Maxine! And Mory!) but this was super stressful reading! 😵‍💫 Langley Moore has created an absolutely diabolical character in Mrs Bankes. Despite the tension, this was really good.
#FurrowedMiddlebrowClub

Ruthiella Awesome! Would the end be so satisfying if the beginning hadn‘t got under our skin the way it did? 🤔 1mo
LeahBergen You made it through! 😆😆 1mo
bookandbedandtea @Ruthiella No, I think we definitely have to go through all the trauma to properly enjoy the ending. 😱 1mo
bookandbedandtea @LeahBergen I feel so relieved! What an uncomfortable story. 😬😁 1mo

I have to agree with Miss MacFarren and Joss. Antonia should be kept far away from animals. Like others, this book is kind of stressing me out 🤣

#FurrowedMiddleBrowClub

bookandbedandtea The birds and then the dog! This book is TOTALLY stressing me out! 🫣 1mo
LeahBergen I know!!! 😬😬 1mo
Sace @bookandbedandtea the…dog? I haven‘t gotten there yet, but I‘m getting the impression I am going to be upset. 1mo

Ruthiella It totally stressed me out too. Hang in there. 😥👍 1mo
bookandbedandtea @Sace I'm so sorry! I had just read that part, and, being quite upset myself, I wasn't thinking of being careful about spoilers. Again, I'm sorry to have mentioned it. But, yes, brace yourself. 1mo
Sace @bookandbedandtea no worries at all! I had already seen some comments so I suspected something anyway. 1mo

Mehso-so

Finally finished January's #FurrowedMiddlebrowClub selection. The story was cleverly constructed but I found the huge portion of the book that was Aunt Addie's novel really dragged.

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 1mo
LeahBergen That seemed to be a common opinion of the group! 😆 1mo
Ruthiella Yes, this was a wee bit of a chore to read. 😅 1mo
kwmg40 @LeahBergen @Ruthiella Despite the tedium of reading the book-within-the-book, I'm willing to read more by Eleanor Farjeon. I did like other aspects of the novel. 1mo

I am really enjoying this one. Harriet is a busybody who really doesn‘t help anyone 🤣

Y'all! Mrs Bankes hasn't even moved in yet (although a bunch of her stuff has been sent) and I. Am. Stressing. Out!

LeahBergen Right? This book gave me anxiety 😆😆 1mo
bookandbedandtea @LeahBergen I read a few more chapters this evening then had to give myself a break. Guess I'll be reading this a little at a time. 🫣 1mo
