@Chrissyreadit @TheAromaofBooks @mabell I‘m not very far into this month‘s #HappyFiction book yet, but I‘ve lost track of our discussion. Are we doing it on StoryGraph, or did we decide to do something else? 🤪

mabell So relatable 🤣 🙋‍♀️ It‘s on Storygraph this time https://app.thestorygraph.com/readalongs/a8095fe9-5674-45f7-9ab6-b5a10cd41f2f 4w
julieclair @mabell Thank you! Glad you can relate! 🤪 4w
TheAromaofBooks In the final section of Powder & Patch I did post the link to the April SG discussion for Wind in the Willows, too!! @mabell @Chrissyreadit (edited) 3w

julieclair @TheAromaofBooks 👍👍 So excited for Wind in the Willows! Would you believe I‘ve never read it? 3w
TheAromaofBooks It's been years since I have read it, but I remember thinking it was super sweet and adorable. I'm really excited about rereading it, and since it starts with Mole abandoning his spring cleaning because the weather is so nice, it seems like a good read for this time of year 😂 3w
julieclair @TheAromaofBooks Abandoning Spring cleaning? I‘m a Mole fan already! 🤩 3w

I loved this heartwarming story about the transformative power of an unlikely friendship. I didn‘t like either of the main characters at first, one was arrogant, grumpy and rude, and the other was weak and spineless. But as their friendship grew, they each also grew in positive and satisfying ways. By the end, I was cheering for both of them. Tip - Don‘t miss the author‘s note at the end!

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks This looks good! 😊 2mo
julieclair @MatchlessMarie I‘m out of town so I finished it on audio. I‘ll check the back of the actual book when I get home. All the descriptions of food & meals sounded delicious! 2mo

An absolute delight! This was my first Joan Aiken novel, but it won‘t be my last. Great pick, @TheAromaofBooks !
#HappyFiction @mabell @Chrissyreadit

mabell It was fun! Great characters 😄 8mo
Chrissyreadit IAgree! 8mo
TheAromaofBooks Yay!!! So glad you enjoyed it!!! I've had mixed results with Aiken's other books (although Wolves of Willoughby Chase is one of my all-time favorites). Also, I got your package!!! Thank you so much for your encouraging note and the little goodies for Mary Rose!!!! She has a small Amazon list but not much on it right now because she is staying with Dad and Mom so she doesn't have a lot of emergency needs. But thank you for checking!! ⬇ 8mo

TheAromaofBooks Whenever she moves back into her apartment (or a different one) we are going to throw her a shower because that is when she will actually need new stuff like towels and kitchen supplies and odds and ends. Right now she just doesn't have a place to store things so we are kind of waiting to see what info the landlords get so we have some kind of timeline for her life!! The landlords are waiting to hear from insurance people and contractors so ⬇ 8mo
TheAromaofBooks no one is exactly sure what will happen when 😂 But thank you so much!!!! ❤ ❤ ❤ 8mo
julieclair @TheAromaofBooks I'm glad the package arrived safe and sound! I love the idea of a shower! So smart. If you are inviting any non-local people, I'd love an invitation whenever you have it. 😉 8mo
TheAromaofBooks Absolutely!! Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness. It's been overwhelming!!! And even though Mary Rose isn't technically homeless... she has still lost her home and it's very emotional. 8mo
julieclair @TheAromaofBooks I can only imagine. 💙😢💙 8mo

See All 9 Comments
mabell All good choices! My vote is for Auntie Mame (I think I have a sequel on my shelf 😆) or Mama‘s Bank Account. 😊 1y
TheAromaofBooks Oh, these all sound good!! I'm fine with any of them!!! 1y
Chrissyreadit Any are good with me! 1y
TheAromaofBooks Oh I meant to tell you that if you wish to save on postage, you are welcome to hang onto my book until you are done reading March's book and then send them together. Whatever works best for you!!! And you always send me such nice notes that I 100% think I am going to reply to and then never do 😑 But I really do appreciate it!! ❤ 14mo
julieclair @TheAromaofBooks Thanks for the idea about saving postage! I'll do that. 👍 And I'm glad you enjoy my notes! Totally no need to reply! 😘 14mo
