I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join in if you want!

The tagged book (subtitled: The Real Malory Towers Life) is a memoir of the author‘s time in an all-girls boarding school in early 1960s Suffolk. Where are my other fans of Enid Blyton/boarding school tales? 😆 @batsy @erzascarletbookgasm @Verity Have any of you read this?

I also just happened to feel in the mood for a vintage read last night and started this Chalet School book.

rubyslippersreads I‘ve never read any of the Chalet School books (not even Peggy of the Chalet School 😄), but I want this book anyway. 😊 6y
LeahBergen @rubyslippersreads It‘s definitely your sort of read! The Chalet School books are sweet and fun (and quite different from many school stories as they‘re set mainly in the Austrian Tyrol). 👍🏻 6y
Moray_Reads Based on St Leonard's in St Andrews, I believe. I've been in the Victorian sea pool (I think it's mentioned in the books) at dawn on May 1st many years ago. Traditional but not advisable 6y

LeahBergen @Moray_Reads Brrrr! ❄️❄️❄️ And I didn‘t know that St Leonard‘s was the inspiration for Malory Towers. I‘m off to look at a photo. 👍🏻 6y
Moray_Reads @LeahBergen The May Dip it's called. One of those "you can't graduate unless..." traditions. St A's is an odd but marvellous place 6y
umbrellagirl @Moray_Reads When were you at St Andrews? I graduated in 2001. I read history there. 6y
Moray_Reads @umbrellagirl Same! But 2005-2009 6y
batsy I haven't heard of this! Sounds wonderful. @Moray_Reads St Andrews must have been an experience 😍 6y
Verity I haven‘t read too marvelous for words, but I am missing my chalet school collection while I‘m over here in the states. Can‘t wait to get home to the book pile... 6y
erzascarletbookgasm I don‘t know the tagged book, sounds like something I‘d like! And somehow I‘ve never read the Chalet School series 🤷‍♀️ 6y
Billypar Love this picture- looks like a trip back in time! 👏👏 6y
Cinfhen Your throwback read looks like something straight out of my elementary school day🧡not the skiing but the story 😆 6y
Centique My word Leah, what a find! This is definitely going on the TBR. 😍 6y
