I had a jolly good time with this book. What a hoot! I hope Mr Partridge finds his new flat mates as worthy of his stewardship as Lisbeth and Ronny🤣

Ruthiella Awesome. I‘m looking forward to finishing. I could do with a little gentle comedy. 3d

LeahBergen I think I might need another book about his time with the pastry chef family. 😆 3d

CarolynM @Ruthiella You‘ll certainly get that with this one😊 3d

CarolynM @LeahBergen Maybe they‘ll turn their hands to Dundee cake😆 3d

Kimzey Thanks for the review. And the cake looks delicious! 😋 2d

Cathythoughts Hi Leah , I wonder if someone would like to pick the September book. I havnt been great for participating this past year. I‘d still like to pop in and out … but I‘d love someone else to pick September… is that ok ? 5d

LeahBergen @Cathythoughts Sure, Cathy. No problem! I‘ll bump @Ruthiella up the list to do the September pick (is that okay with you, @Ruthiella ?) 4d

LeahBergen Hi, @batsy ! I know you‘ve been taking some time off from Litsy and I hope you‘re doing well. You will have our November 2025 pick (if you like). No worries if you don‘t, of course! If you get back to me too late (and I get the next person on the list to take your place) we‘ll just slot you in somewhere when you‘re back. Miss you, my friend! 😘 4d

Ruthiella Fine with me. 😃 @batsy I miss you too. Hope all is well. ❤️ (edited) 4d

Cathythoughts Thanks for that Leah, I‘d love to stay on the Persephone list please. But I know I can‘t commit to both. 😘 4d

LeahBergen @Cathythoughts That‘s great, Cathy! I was hoping you‘d still be in for #PersephoneClub! I‘ll probably wait until next month (when we‘re reading our final pick of the year) to start the voting choices. 3d

elkeOriginal Looking forward to y‘all helping me work through the FMB books on my shelf! 3d

LeahBergen @elkeOriginal Me, too! I have sooo many waiting. 😆 3d

Cathythoughts Oh yes , of course, Thanks Leah , next month 👍🏻😘 2d

LeahBergen @Ruthiella You can post your September picks now … or whenever you‘re ready! 😘 2d

LeahBergen Hi, @Kimzey ! We‘ve had a bit of a shuffle in our picking order (see the chatter above ☝️) and you‘re now in charge of our November selection. You can post your two books for us to vote on now (or whenever you‘re ready). 😀 1d

Well, this was a charming little romp! It somehow reminded me of Miss Pettigrew Lives For a Day but, in this case, it‘s more of a “Mr Partridge Lives For Six Months”. 😆 Look at him on the cover and spine of my edition!

#FurrowedMiddlebrowClub

Ruthiella I‘m only about 25% done, but I‘m also getting Miss Pettigrew vibes! 5d

Tamra 🤣 Fabulous cover art! 5d

kwmg40 I agree with @Tamra. That cover! 😍 5d

LeahBergen @Ruthiella Glamorous young lady, down-at-the-heels middle agester, cocaine… 😆 5d

LeahBergen @Tamra @kwmg40 It‘s quite something, isn‘t it? 😆 5d

elkeOriginal As always you have an amazing edition! 3d

CarolynM A perfect retitling! And I love that dust jacket😍 3d

LeahBergen @elkeOriginal @CarolynM I wonder if the flat was painted in these “harlequin” colours? 😆 3d

quietjenn Love the illustrations, especially on the spine! Thanks for sharing. 6h

willaful Can't have women reading! They might start thinking, and getting ideas... 6d

Ruthiella 😂😂😂 6d

Kimzey Oh, well, so glad someone‘s protecting women‘s eyesight (whether they want it or not.) 🤷🏼‍♀️😆 (edited) 6d

julieclair Haven‘t gotten to that bit yet, but so far this book is cracking me up! 😆 6d

rubyslippersreads My mom always felt kind of bad about my poor eyesight; she worried it might have been caused by her letting me read too much. I pointed out that (a) she couldn‘t have stopped me, and (b) I learned the habit of reading constantly from her. 😂 5d

Happy Halloween #FurrowedMiddlebrowClub friends! 🎃 Next month is our last pick for 2024. We‘ve read Margery Sharp before (Four Gardens) and I quite liked it, so I have high hopes for this one.
