📬A much needed dose of cheer straight from the mailbox. I am shocked how quickly the Slightly Foxed Summer Quarterly made it across the pond.
Anyone read Jane Gardam? A bold group member posted her in an undervalued women writers group and was told she isn‘t undervalued nor does she fit in the time period. I appreciated the post as she‘s new to me and other members recommended this one. I was sure to express my thanks to the OP for sharing her.
Tamra I haven‘t read her yet, but we‘re reading this one for #EuropaCollective in September.![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)

BilgewaterJess_Read_This @LeahBergen I have really been missing out on Jane Gardam! Going to have to fix that asap from the sounds of it. I was shocked when I opened my mailbox and the SF quarterly was there. Which made my night being able to cozy up with it during a summer storm. 7mo
Jess_Read_This @Tamra Thanks for connecting me to the September read group! 🩵 7mo
Jess_Read_This @willaful Thank you for the recommendation! Adding Bilgewater to the TBR list. 😂From the sounds of it, I should plan on reading all her books since so many people have different favorites of hers! 7mo
