I'm not sure I get this book, but there was an early reference to Morningside, which I miss wandering through, so...

bailed

I would have bet this quirky story about a time-traveling librarian would be right up my alley, but it‘s just silly. Maybe it‘s a couple of revisions away from comic perfection, but as it stands, it‘s just too farcical for my taste. I made it halfway through, but I just do not care about Shona‘s mission at all. Disappointed. Moving on.

AlaMich But that cover...❤️ 6y

Moodyreader This is stunning! 6y

BookNAround I was wildly disappointed in this one too. 6y

BookishMarginalia @LeahBergen Yes, it sounded fun but it was just silly, and not in a good way. I bailed halfway through. 6y

LeahBergen Well, that‘s too bad. 😐 6y

Matching tea to story. Smoky Russian Caravan with this time-traveling mystery of Imperial Russia. Shame I've no samovar though. #TeaAndTales

RealLifeReading I love your tea set! 6y

batsy Gorgeous photo! 6y

Moray_Reads @Soubhiville it's one of my favourites, a mixture of keemun, oolong and lapsang Souchong 😋 6y

Soubhiville Wow! Where do you get it? I love the name and the ingredients 😊 6y

erzascarletbookgasm Love your teapot! 6y

Moray_Reads @Soubhiville this one is from a tea shop just near my flat but most tea places do a Russian Caravan blend or something similar. Twinings do a nice one 6y

Soubhiville Cool, thank you! I‘ll try the twinings one, but I also may try to order some online 🤗 6y

LeahBergen This sounds like a fun read. How are you enjoying it? 6y

Moray_Reads @LeahBergen I have to be honest, I found it very annoying. Not a fraction as funny as it thinks it is, repetitive and plot-wise a little weak... 6y

Centique What a beautiful photo! 6y

LeahBergen Aaaand... unstacked. 😆😆 6y

Moray_Reads @LeahBergen I seem to be grumpy and easily irritated with my reading at the moment, I can tell if it's me or just my choices! This one seems to be wildly popular but even her mentions of Morningside in Edinburgh (not 5 minutes from where I live) couldn't win me over 6y
