The Secret Diary & Growing Pains of Adrian Mole Aged 13 3?4 | 
Winston and I will try not to take offense. 😂 We‘re finding this book very endearing, but it‘s a lot of teenage boy (Townshend‘s writing is convincing) and we think it‘s probably best, for us, read in smallish doses between other books.
Update: Adrian has grown on me & I‘d like to read the rest of the series!

Congratulations to the warm and wonderful @Lizpixie on 1000 followers! To celebrate, she is doing a lovely giveaway and has asked us what authors make us happy. Here's one of mine.
I reread these books after my Mom died when I didn't feel like reading anything at all for quite a long time ... and I laughed and laughed. Cheers to the restorative power of reading and to you, Liz! 😘

Love this.... #setnearwhereyoulive #riotgrams I did only have one to choose from for this theme though, so glad it happens to be a good one 😜
bailed#unpopularopinion time. I just can't with this book. Everyone kind of sucks and is self-involved, I didn't think it was funny, and I feel SO BAD for that dog. 45 pages in and I bailed.
Oh well! On to the next!
pickFun Photo Friday. This is a book I return to when I need a bit of a laugh.
After an 800-page novel about pedophiles and child abuse, I needed something lighter! I hope this does the trick. I recently read that Sue Townsend was Britain's bestselling author of the 1980s, yet I feel like no one here across the pond talks (or even knows) about these books. Have you read them?
