Daddy's Gone A-hunting | Penelope Mortimer, Valerie Grove

Well, I‘m chiming in to add my love to the chorus of #PersephoneClub readers who loved this book, too.

An exquisitely wrought story of a 1950s housewife who is slowly going mad until she finds a purpose: to try to save her 18-year-old daughter from the same sort of life in which she herself is stuck.

#JohnnyBergen has been finding camper life exhausting. We‘ve been on the road for a couple of weeks. 😆

jlhammar Adorable! And lovely background. Hope you've been having a wonderful trip. Brilliant review! The writing really was exquisite. So glad you loved it. 9mo

dabbe I want to kiss the space between his eyes and bop his nose (not while he's so cutely sleeping, though!) 💙🐾💚 9mo
Leftcoastzen Awww! Sweet pup! 9mo
ShelleyBooksie He is so handsome ♡♡ 9mo
Tamra So glad you liked it and yes, camping is just exhausting. 🤣 9mo
erzascarletbookgasm Ohh camping! How fun..but tiring! 9mo
UwannaPublishme Awww! Happy Camping! 9mo
batsy Poor Johnny! Has he been made to do too many chores? 😆❤️ 9mo
youneverarrived Too cute ♥️♥️ 9mo
Aimeesue Aww, poor little guy! Travelling guard duty is rough on a fellow! 9mo
Cathythoughts Lovely pic and review ❤️ I‘m flagging behind , I‘ve had lots of family staying and everything is up in a heap ! I really enjoyed the start of this book, just haven‘t had a minute. My family prefer Tv , so have watched some good shows. Can‘t wait to get back to reality and to Litsy and reading properly. Poor Johnny is finding the camping hard going , bless him ❤️🐶. Chat soon Xxx 9mo
LeahBergen @jlhammar She was one of those authors that I always THOUGHT I might like but never rushed to read. I‘m so glad that I finally did! 9mo
LeahBergen @TrishB Johnny sends Sansa a kiss! 😆 9mo
LeahBergen @dabbe He wouldn‘t mind at all! 😆 9mo
LeahBergen @Tamra @erzascarletbookgasm @batsy SO exhausting. I mean … he‘s in a trailer with his own blankets, bed, bowls, toys … excruciating! 😆 9mo
LeahBergen @UwannaPublishme Thank you! We‘ve been having a wonderful time. 😘 9mo
LeahBergen @Aimeesue He‘s been keeping an eye out for elk and bears (from the safety of his trailer). 😆 9mo
LeahBergen @Cathythoughts I‘m going through the same thing! I just spent 8 days with family and had ZERO reading (or Litsy) time. It was all great fun, though, and we‘re now having a bit of time to ourselves. Johnny would be enjoying the wilds of Canada much more if your Lisa was here to bolster his courage. 😆😆 9mo
Suet624 So fun! It‘s great getting out of your regular routine and into the woods. 9mo
Centique I quite fancy curling up beside him for a snooze! Johnny does camping in great civilised style 😉 9mo
CarolynM I‘m glad everyone seems to have enjoyed it🙂 I‘m not in the right headspace right now, but it (or Dr Thorn) will be the first thing I pick up when I‘m ready for more than romance or cozy crime. Hope you‘re having a wonderful time on your camping trip😘 9mo
LeahBergen @Suet624 Isn‘t it, though? 🥰 9mo
LeahBergen @Centique He LOVES a snoozing partner. 😆 9mo
LeahBergen @CarolynM It‘s a great read when the time is right. I‘ve also skipped our #Trollope-ing read as I‘ve been travelling about too much. 😕 I hope life settles down a bit for you soon but yeah … we are right in that age of aging parents and such. It‘s rough, isn‘t it? 9mo
Cathythoughts God I loved it too ! It was , as you say an , exquisitely wrought story 👍🏻♥️ 9mo
sarahbarnes I want to read this! And two weeks on the road in a camper sounds amazing!! 9mo
LeahBergen @sarahbarnes It was a lovely holiday! 😊 9mo

This year I‘ll be reading! I was just mentioning to the BF that I usually have a tracker and updates on for the Super Bowl, but not this year. I just really really don‘t like these two teams. So, I‘ll be reading to my hearts content this evening, with a little Trollope and Williams‘, STONER. Both, are excellent thus far.

catebutler @Trashcan.man Your book sounds fabulous! I‘ve always loved reading about the West. I‘m currently reading Lonesome Dove, which has been epic so far! 6y

Small House at Allington | Anthony Trollope

4/5 ⭐️'s
This month, for an IG buddy read, we read the second to last book in the Barsetshire Chronicles. Now that I've completed my 5th book written by Anthony Trollope, I feel like he & I are quite good chums. And I've come to the conclusion that Trollope now ranks as one of my favorite classic authors. His wit, asides to the reader, and storylines, are just a delight. #thesmallhouseatallington #anthonytrollope #classics #trollope #booksy

Apparently audible thinks it's time to pick up the pace! I'm 60% done with Can You Forgive Her? and enjoying it very much. #PalliserParty #Trollope
