Amber thinks she‘s just stopping in for a quick visit with her godmother. Then she is swept into the overhaul of Cranberry Stores and feels like she has finally found her home. Her meeting with Josh was hazardous (they fell into the river 🤪), but they still warm up to each other. I felt the ending was abrupt in this meander to getting to know the village, but well worth the read. I really like getting to know the characters of the villages.

From the for-kids section of the book...

swynn Ha! I think someday I'd like to set a goal of reading all the books I've sometimes talked about as if I had read them -- but in fact had only been told about them by professors, critics, or fellow readers enough that I could fake it. I've started a list for that project, and it's depressingly long .... It's not about boredom though but about *time*. Okay, and sometimes boredom. 1mo

Ruthiella I‘ve read both but, I have kept my copies of The Satanic Verses and Midnight‘s Children purely for pretentiousness. 🤣 1mo
swynn I have a small library of French classics that I bought shortly after I graduated college. They were deeply discounted but still an indefensible expense at that point in my life. Turns out 4 semesters of conversational French is almost useless for attempting Zola 😀 I still have most of them, less for pretension than a memento of who I was then. 1mo

#BigMoon three moon titles
I saw PaperMoon at the drive in as a child and loved Tatum. Apparently its based on an obscure novel?

willaful I actually own that novel and love it! They left the second half out of the movie. 2mo
Bookwomble Because of the cover sticker, I initially thought the Aaronovitch book was about London being attacked by dirigible cows! 🎈🐄💣😂 2mo

I‘m currently reading my 7th Elizabeth Jane Howard with @shawnmooney and this one is a volume of her short stories. We‘ve been working through her books in publication order (and may even get to the start of The Cazalet Chronicles next year 😆).

Ruthiella I plan at a minimum to read at least one Cazalet Chronicle volume a year. You may finish before I do! I have three more to go. 😆 2mo
Tamra I‘ve had Cazalet on my TBR shelf for so long! 😬 I know I‘ll love it too. 2mo
LeahBergen @Ruthiella 😆 The first Cazalet book was the very first EJH I bought … and I‘m still waiting to get to it YEARS later. 😆 2mo

Appleby's Answer | Michael Innes

Priscilla Pringle, the well-known writer of detective stories, is offered 500 pounds by a stranger on a train to collaborate on the plot for a novel. But could the stranger be intending an actual murder rather than a fictional one? Fortunately, Miss Pringle is on her way to a talk for crime writers by Sir John Appleby.

I giggled my way through this one. Priscilla Pringle is the funniest detective writer since Ariadne Oliver.

Leftcoastzen Great cover ! 2mo
