The Enchanted April | Elizabeth Von Arnim
post image
Pickpick

And my enchanted cat, who likes the blanket in the empty Tupperware.
3.75? It was very delightful in both its luscious prose parts and its cutting humorous observations but it ties up too neatly and not deeply enough for me to feel it to be really Excellent. What do y‘all think?

Ruthiella I really liked it. I see it as a fairy tale for grownups. It‘s also a good book to read when it‘s cold so the reader can enjoy the sun of Italy in the spring. 😀 3y
MargaretPinardAuthor @Ruthiella it would appear that I am fairy tale-resistant in the present moment then 😭 ah well, I‘m sure the ease will return! 🥳🥰 3y
MargaretPinardAuthor Oh and fairy tale for women, I‘d say, not for men! 3y
CarolynM It's lovely. So is the film🙂 3y
MargaretPinardAuthor @CarolynM so I hear! Thanks to #marchofthemoderns, I‘ve got this and A Passage To India on my to-watch list! 😊 3y

Blanket upon blanket for comfort, that is what I‘m betting I may need (and the cat) for my reading of this book. Although it‘s starting out pretty mild-mannered, nothing like Invisible Man...

“It is a truth universally acknowledged that the best way of reading is with a cat hugging one‘s legs”
D‘oh! And he just started snoring.

Research reading! Interesting to find the roots of our financial problems, class consciousness, and political tribalism go back all the way to the Civil War...

A Witch In Time | Madelyn Alt

Mehso-so

This was good enough to keep me going through a migraine day, amusing enough to distract me. Two of the plot lines were really obvious early on, and she chattered to herself a bit more than I could take, but narrator was funny and the slow-fall in love stuff was good 🤗
The #Beancat kept me company on the couch. Not the worst way to spend a day off, all things considered.

The First Week | R. D. Trimble

The first week of 2020 is more good than bad.
It is also less bad than the first week of 2019, when I crashed my new bike twice in one day.
This time I just broke a toe, directly caused by the happy dance from almost-finishing The Winter Companion by Mimi Mathews!!

julesG Ouch! Hope the toe is not too much of a bother. 4y
