Welcome to Litsy!

After reading mostly WWII HF and a few memoirs this month I needed something more light hearted. I save my Jeeves books for such occasions.

This one had a lot of Aunt Dahlia, which I loved.

🐥 1. There have been other favs, but I‘m so glad I finally got my toes wet and read some Wodehouse!

🐥 2. I think optimally, I prefer indoors with the windows wide open - best of both worlds.

🐥 3. I‘m going to participate in the #AxetheStacks hosted by @howjessicareads and the two April readathons hosted by @Andrew65 !

My first (and definitely not my last) Jeeves and Wooster novel. This is one of Wodehouse‘s later efforts (pub date 1960) and I hear the earlier ones are even better. I think the plot is pretty much the same in all in that goof Bertie Wooster gets in to hot water among the upper crust and his all-knowing valet Jeeves bails him out. Great stuff to read in between heavier books! 😀

“Suppose your Aunt Dahlia read in the paper that you were going to be shot at sunrise.”
“I couldn‘t be. I‘m never up so early.”

Received as a gift last week. In UK this was called “Jeeves in the offing.” Jeeves goes on holiday, leaving Bertie to deal with 3 engagements, one lawsuit, and one butler in disguise. Until Jeeves is called back to save the day. Even though it‘s a light read I love that Wodehouse is chock full of fun word play and references.

Don‘t you just love jeeves so sad there isn‘t anyone like him #Wodehouse #jeevesseries

A little light humour for my reading this evening. It's stifling in London and I can't cope with anything complicated! #summerreading #heatwave
