Yours Cheerfully: A Novel | 
pickEmmy Lake works hard to become a respected reporter working for Woman's Friend publication. The paper decides to do a report highlighting the efforts of women who are working to support the men at war by working in machine shops. When Emmy finally gets all the necessary approvals to conduct the interviews she learns more than she imagined.
pickVery much like Dear Mrs. Bird, this historical novel was a quick read that had just enough reality to not be too fluffy for my taste. I enjoyed the exploration into the lives of British women war workers. This was my #bookspin for September. @TheAromaofBooks
pickCute - left off where the first book started, setting up for a third. I like that Emmy is maturing in her behaviours and the conversations she has with her friends and colleagues. The relationship between Emmy and Bunty is lovely :)
pickI liked this second installment of “the Emmy Lake Chronicles” even more than the first — largely thanks to its focus on Britain‘s women war workers. This gave me a glimpse at a practical problem I‘d never thought much about: childcare during WWII. Nobody‘s ever mentioned who was watching Rosie the Riveter‘s kids, you know?
At any rate, I always appreciate books that spark my curiosity and send me on a research tangent.
pickJust finished this lovely audiobook on the Libby App. This is a gentle look at war time London. The second book in what is hopefully a series. Emmy is working at a women‘s magazine during the day and fire warden at night. She‘s seeing her army boyfriend Charles and P taking on women‘s rights issues. I‘m jealous of her endless energy and enthusiasm. Will definitely listen to the next one - the reader has a very good voice 👍💚🐉 #Jumpstart2023
Thanks to @LadyCait84 I found out about this sequel to Dear Mrs Bird - was lucky that it was available immediately from Libby. Started listening at once 💚🐉
pickAn absolute delightful follow on from 'Dear Mrs Bird' 😍
Goodwill Bookstore had a 30% off coupon today. All of these for under $20. 😍
pickWhile not quite as funny as the first, this sequel to Dear Mrs Bird was a delight. Definitely recommend both.
Emmy Lake works to keep spirits up in wartime London through the Woman‘s Friend advice column. Charming and uplifting. Hope we get a third!

1. Tagged. Even with the daily struggles of living during a war, this book shows how strong, independent and capable women were whilst the men were fighting.
2. I‘d love to see how Emmy continues with her advice column now that she is married d as no if her advice would change in any way.
pickThis is the follow up to Dear Mrs Bird.
London, 1941, Emmy takes on the challenge of becoming a war time advice columnist instead. Her relationship with her boyfriend is blossoming and her best friend Bunty is still recovering from the worst of the Blitz.
The characters in this book were full of life and determination despite the war raging on, the author is still able to engage the reader to help understand the daily struggles during the war.
pickThis is a sequel to Dear Mrs Bird. It continues the story with Emmeline Lake still at the magazine but Mrs Bird gone. It's set in London during WWII and all the Women's magazines are given a special project by the Information Ministry. It's really good, with serious issues, and the characters are all lovely. I hope there is another book.
Whatever happens, if you love someone and know you‘re loved back, you will always have that 📰🪖♥️

This is the 2nd book in the Emmy Lake Chronicles series. It's not necessary to have read the 1st book, Dear Mrs. Bird. This can be read as a stands alone but I will go back and read that book now.
Historical fiction is one of my favorite genres and in particular, I've found that I really enjoy any book set in London, France, or Paris and I also enjoy historical fiction based during (cont in comments)
Loved watching the author event with AJ Pearce, author of YOURS CHEERFULLY ❤️ These virtual events are such fun 😁
Taking a reading break 🙌🏻📖😎 This is the view from the patio at our Airbnb 😍
pickI'm so happy Dear Mrs. Bird got a sequel. Emmy, Bunty, and the gang have such interesting journeys, and the focus on working women's issues at the start of the war was compelling without ever being too heavy, thanks to Emmy's madcap narration. #historicalfiction
Leaving for our big summer vacation on Wednesday 🙌🏻 (I‘ve been counting down the days since April, when we booked our Airbnb 😆) I‘m starting my vacation book today since I‘m bringing along 2 others for a 5 day trip 🤓. Prayers that Monday & Tuesday fly by 🤞🙏💙
