Allen Brown's English Castles | Reginald Allen Brown

Random book from our home library:

📖 Warwick Castle [souvenir guide - not in Litsy]

I have lots of souvenir guides to places in the UK that I've never visited. I believe I even have two different editions of this one. Have I mentioned that I'm an Anglophile bibliophile?

This book was delightful! Oh to be young and silly again and have your whole life ahead of you! And who doesn‘t want to live in a castle with an eccentric family surrounded by nature?!?!?!? I found a lot of this book to be amusing but especially the shenanigans on the train! Hilarious! 💙💙💙💙💙

I Capture the Castle | Dodie Smith

so-so

#BookReport

Only 2 finished last week. I read the tagged book after seeing it recommended on a Parnassus Books video. It sounds like it is a much loved coming of age story. I did enjoy it but didn‘t love it.

I also enjoyed the Pride & Prejudice continuation by McLeod.

ChaoticMissAdventures I am reading this because of that video too! I am only a third of the way in and agree with you, it is okay. 1w

monalyisha I‘m part of the “much-love” camp! 1w

ChaoticMissAdventures @monalyisha did you read it as a youngster? I have this theory on books like this. I feel like if I had read this in my teens/20s I would have gotten so much more out of it. 1w

monalyisha Hmm…late 20‘s. I think I was 27. I was thoroughly charmed. I thought it was quirky and cozy, with a strong setting and thoughtful spiritual ruminations. The movie, on the other hand? Blech. 1w

Another Monday wondering what 💩 will hit the fan this week. I‘m going to read the tagged book for the first time. I think it will be a nice escape.

AmyG I think this every day. 😥 1mo

Really enjoying this series. The first book was really good and this one was also. Looking forward to book three and hoping the series lasts because I‘m already attached.

The Knight at Dawn | Mary Pope Osborne

3✨ I feel like these books are really rushed. It‘s a great read for young kids to boost confidence. I‘m wondering in the notes are a build up as well. The first two books are building up a mystery in the series that might give the books more main plot than going to other places from their magical treehouse. #SeriesLove

Naked Heat | Richard Castle

pick

04/100 Castle has always been one of my favorite TV shows, so it was fun to return to the "alternate" version with Rook and Heat. I still prefer the pairing of Castle and Beckett to Rook and Heat, but both have their enjoyable qualities. Heat seems almost superhuman at times, too cool under pressure, less human than Beckett. All in all, a good mystery that kept me guessing until the end. 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Aims42 I loved watching Castle when it was airing every week. I haven‘t read any of the tie-in books, perhaps in 2025 I will! 👍 (edited) 3mo

CaramelLunacy I loved Castle! I haven't read any of the tie-ins, but they sound fun. At the very least it is probably time for a rewatch! 3mo

DogMomIrene I‘ve been rewatching Castle and I finally got to season 8, which I missed when it aired. I‘m only a couple of episodes in and talk about bananas! 3mo
