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!

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!
pickNot my usual read. But I needed something light and fluffy and my #bookspin this month delivered. Cute cozy tale from a tiny English village with a good community and books.
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!
#Pemberlittens this looks like something similar to Pym. #JaneAdjacent Read? @BarkingMadRead @StayCurious
pickIn this slow paced, Maeve Binchy-esqe novel, 32 year old Jess has moved to a small village after the death of her grandmother, who was her guardian after Jess‘s parents died. We join Jess as she acclimates to village living, becomes the proprietor of the littlest library using her grandmother‘s beloved books, makes new friends and maybe finds love. I was expecting a little more and Jess irked me at some points, but a sweet story. ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 /5 ❤️📚
pickNot as strong as Where You Come From, but also an extremely well written book. Tiny hints of great humor, at some points I had to laugh out loud while listening to the audio version read by the author himself. Connections between the past, the now and the people that live in the spaces between. Life on the country side where everything takes its time. Critics say there's no plot. They're right. But there's feeling, there's comfort. There's home.
Starting this one next. I‘m such a sucker for books about books. I‘m a mood reader and am looking for quaint, quirky, sweet with some depth and feeling. I think this one will fit the bill perfectly! ❤️📚
Nice cozy with interesting characters and enough twists and turns to keep me guessing.

pickBook 2 in the Max Tudor series (#SeriesLove2023) and my first finish for #JoysofJune
Max, the local vicar and former MI5 agent, agrees to assist Inspector Cotton at Chedrow Castle, where Lord Footrustle has been found murdered and his sister found dead of a heart attack.
These are slow burn, methodical mysteries. They take a slower pace, but I enjoy the inside look at the characters. One almost feels like they are snooping sometimes.
