Nobody writes like Wodehouse! A fluffy, madcap romp filled with silly antics and irreverent dialogue. Totally enjoyable. #6 in the Blandings series. I had not read the first 5, and it didn‘t matter.
Great pick to finish out #Round16 of #LMPBC for #GroupH, @TheAromaofBooks !

A sweet story focusing on reassessing career and relationship choices during mid-life, and the possibility of changing directions. Well-depicted contrast between city and country life. Endearing characters. Looking forward to reading more of this series.
Thanks, @Clwojick , for another great #TrappedOnAnIsland pick!

This book kept me guessing all the way through, trying to figure out where the story was going, and how the author was going to reconcile the two storylines and time periods. The ending was a little lame, and still left me with some questions, but overall I enjoyed the book. Looking forward to Sunday‘s discussion!

Another excellent read from @Mitch ‘s #AuldLangSpine list.

Morland finds a copy of Berger‘s A Fortunate Man, the life of a rural doctor and his patients - and discovers it‘s set in the valley in which she lives. She approaches the current GP, to see if she‘d be interested in working with her on a modern-day version… and here it is.

Second in a series. I enjoy Delafield‘s writing and dry sense of humor. And her books give a fascinating picture of the life of an upper middle class English family between the wars. But I didn‘t connect with this book as much as I did the first one. I‘m not sure why… perhaps because her writing style was already familiar to me so I didn‘t find it as novel and refreshing. But still a fun read!
Headed to you next @TheAromaofBooks #LMPBC #GroupH

A book involving both time travel and Jane Austen? Sounded fascinating, but I found the storyline to be as disconnected as the concept. The plot moved in strange directions. And I was surprised to find that I disliked some of the Austen family members, which was disappointing. I also disliked many of the choices the main characters made. #PemberLittens @StayCurious #Booked2023 @Cinfhen @alisiakae @BarbaraTheBibliophage #UKRoadTrip @jenniferw88

The first of my #AuldLangSpine books from @Mitch finished, and it was a good one!

A young post-war school-leaver sets out from Durham to spend the summer exploring, before heading back down the pit. But his meeting and friendship with Dulcie Piper changes everything- for both of them - as he starts to see there‘s more to the world than his village, and she faces past tragedies.

Beautiful and evocative - I‘d gladly read more by Benjamin Myers.

A lovely, well-written Christmas romance. Lovable characters in a beautiful setting - a bookshop in Edinburgh at Christmas time. A perfect December read.
This was my #BookSpin for this month. @TheAromaofBooks

This was the perfect first book for my December Fluff reading project! Sweet story, sweet romance, sweet setting… sweet reading! I wanted to be IN the book, attending the Christmas Festival, shopping at the market stalls, eating all the goodies, singing carols, and cheering on the characters. ❄️🎄❄️
