I loved so many things about this: irrepressible Selina, her pony named Haggis, the food descriptions, the Scottish setting, and a goose named Big Wullie! The basic plot: Selina befriends a crusty old farmer when her pony keeps “planting” himself in said farmer‘s turnip field.

Selina is kind of a misfit—both her mishaps & her soft heart for outsiders are endearing. The exploration of what it means to take care of others, even when you and they ⤵️

BarbaraJean (Cont‘d) …are misunderstood, is full of complexity, depth, and heart. There were a few events where the resolution seemed too simplistic/glossed over, but even with that—this was like a warm hug. And I now really want some sausages and “champers” (“potato and cheese all mashed together and put in the oven”)!

This was my #1975 pick for #192025, and my second book completed for #10beforetheend @librarybelle @ChaoticMissAdventures

BarbaraJean (Cont‘d) (I was debating between two possibilities for 1975, then turned them both down in favor of this one. Glad I did!)

@TheAromaofBooks Have you read this one? I think you might really like it!

This is a very touching book with lovely illustrations. The author Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, captures father and son, as seen by a mothers eyes. #ISpyBingoSept @TheAromaofBooks

My spouse is not here to see what #nelson did—she is the gardener in our house—but I think it‘s a little bit hilarious. He did just what he does on the couch with all of his blankets, keeps at it until it‘s juuuusssttt right!

It‘s not even that warm right now!

I very clearly remember reading the Mallory Towers series when I was a child, but at some point in my life, for a long time, I conflated it with the Chalet School series. A couple of years ago, I tried to find the Mallory Towers book that included a visit to Oktoberfest, only to find that it was actually one of the Chalet School books that I was thinking about!
