Affairs at Thrush Green | Miss Read

pick

Another year passes in Thrush Green. The big changes I was expecting didn't happen but there were some surprises with old cast members returning and new cast members being added.

Sparklemn I read one in the series years ago. I should try another. 7mo

rwmg @Sparklemn They are very soothing. I think they're best read in order as we follow a group of people more or less year by year for each volume. 7mo

Sparklemn @rwmg I think I read one mid-series. I‘ll start at the beginning. Thanks for the tip! 7mo

Gossip from Thrush Green | Miss Read

pick

Life goes on as charmingly as ever in Thrush Green. Modern life inserts itself with the temporary presence of four members of a rock band, two of whom use drugs, but we only hear about it 2nd or 3rd hand. Major changes are ahead though, with two characters talking about retirement and another no longer able to take care of herself.

Jess_Read_This Medicinal, I‘m sure. It‘s good for building up the blood. Or so I‘m told and what I tell myself. 😂 What a lovely way to spend an afternoon! 🍻📖 (edited) 1y

LeahBergen @merelybookish 😆 1y

LeahBergen @BarbaraBB @sarahbarnes I‘m feeling the urge to visit Powell‘s again now! 1y

LeahBergen @Cathythoughts 😆😆 1y

Winter in Thrush Green | Miss Read

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

News from Thrush Green | Miss Read

A couple of my current vintage reads.

The Golden Collar (originally published in 1955 as The Smith‘s Hoard and then as Hidden Gold) is a children‘s holiday story. A brother and sister go to spend some time at their great aunt‘s house and end up finding an Iron Age hoard. I‘m always down for a good hoard!

Cathythoughts These look great Leah 👍🏻♥️ 1y

lazydaizee Nice book covers. 1y

jlhammar Both sound wonderful. Love those vintage covers. 1y

Tamra Sweet! 1y

Ruthiella So pretty! 😍 And who doesn‘t like a story about finding hidden treasure? I was fascinated by archeology as a kid. (edited) 1y

LeahBergen @Cathythoughts I‘m into very light reads of late. 😆 1y

LeahBergen @lazydaizee @jlhammar @Tamra 😘😘😘 1y

LeahBergen @Ruthiella I was, too! I would‘ve loved this one as a kid. 1y

SayersLover Yay! Miss Read is so restful! @LeahBergen 1y

LeahBergen @SayersLover Isn‘t she? 🥰 1y

Thrush Green | Miss Read

I‘ve read quite a few (7 or 8?) of Miss Read‘s Fairacre novels but this is my first foray into the Thrush Green series. It‘s quiet and charming and I‘m enjoying it immensely!

squirrelbrain Oh I used to love the Miss Read books when I was younger! They had loads of them in our teeny tiny village library. 2y

rubyslippersreads Believe it or not, I haven‘t read Miss Read. Your lovely copies are inspiring me, though. 2y

Tamra So pretty. 😊 2y

Aimeesue Such lovely editions! 2y

MemoirsForMe Beautiful photo and editions! 2y

Cathythoughts Ah that‘s so nice 🥰 2y

LeahBergen @squirrelbrain They‘re such gentle (non-stressful 😆) reads! 2y

LeahBergen @rubyslippersreads You‘ll have to try one soon! They‘re VERY light but enjoyable. 2y

LeahBergen @Tamra @TrishB @Aimeesue @UwannaPublishme @Cathythoughts Thanks, all! 😘😘 2y

Thrush Green | Miss Read

#Pemberlittens this looks like something similar to Pym. #JaneAdjacent Read? @BarkingMadRead @StayCurious

rubyslippersreads I‘ve never read any Miss Read, but would love to. 2y

LeahBergen I do love Miss Read but her novels are all much more simple and of the “cozy village life” sort than Pym. I‘m trying to say it without sounding snobbish or disparaging but Pym is way more “literary”. 😆 But I read and love them both! 2y

Crinoline_Laphroaig @LeahBergen Love your explanation! 2y
