pickI‘m a sucker for irreverent senior citizens and the found family trope, which this book has in spades. There might have been too many storylines for one book (including multiple murders and a couple of off-page self-inflicted deaths) but the core characters were delightful, and I will be continuing the series.
I believe that a well-known anecdote exited to the effect that a young writer, determined to make the commencement of his story forcible and original enough to catch and rivet the attention of the most blasé of editors, penned the following sentence:
“‘Hell!‘ said the Duchess.”

Current state of my lap. (No cats have been spotted since Harper joined the family 2 days ago. 😂)
The intense interest aroused in the public by what was known at the time as “The Styles Case” has now somewhat subsided.

I‘m so excited to dig into the possibilities from @DGRachel ‘s #AuldLangSpine2026 list! I don‘t own a single one of these yet, but they are almost all available on Libby through my library! I love having choices with genre and audience, too.
I think I‘ll be starting with the tagged book as I‘ve heard nothing but good things about the series. Time to see how many books fit the 52 Books Club prompts!

I watched this the other day and I loved so much about it: the incredible casting, of course: the sets (I'd love to have any of their flats); seeing a favorite book come to life. But I had one big issue with the movie (spoiler in comments) so I had to listen to the original story during work to get the right pieces back in my head.
“Unsolved mysteries.”
Raymond West blew out a cloud of smoke and repeated the words with a kind of deliberate self-conscious pleasure.

pickWell this one didn‘t end up where I expected! I enjoyed it, though the main character‘s casual pettiness and 1950s prejudices were annoying, even in a period mystery. I don‘t have much patience for it. I really enjoyed the audiobook narrator and loved my #immersionreading of print + audio. (And no, it‘s not really a holiday book 🤨)
Miss Jane Marple was sitting by her window. The window looked over her garden, once a source of pride to her.

Mrs. Bantry was dreaming. Her sweet peas had just taken a First at the flower show. The vicar, dressed in cassock and surplice, was giving out the prizes in church.
