Thought I'd share a cool little library phone booth that we stumbled upon in Scotland. We were driving through the countryside in the middle of nowhere when I spotted it and we pulled over to take a look. It was such an unexpected and fun surprise! 📚
Reminds me of the tagged book, which I really need to read now!

Jess_Read_This Medicinal, I‘m sure. It‘s good for building up the blood. Or so I‘m told and what I tell myself. 😂 What a lovely way to spend an afternoon! 🍻📖 (edited) 6mo
LeahBergen @BarbaraBB @sarahbarnes I‘m feeling the urge to visit Powell‘s again now! 6mo
LeahBergen @Tamra Needs must. 😆 6mo
LeahBergen @Jess_Read_This Obviously. It‘s good for “the nerves”. 😉 6mo

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

The son of Daniel's assistant minister in the neighbouring parish is killed in the chapel of a disused WWII airbase in what looks like a ritual murder.

As with the first book, I enjoyed the slice of life scenes before and after the murder far more than the mystery itself because again the solution seemed to come out of nowhere. I will wishlist the next one because it's not out yet, but I'm in no hurry.

Audrey Clement did not flinch when half a bread roll, thrown with force from one side of Lord de Floures‘ dining table to the other, just missed her.

A couple of my current vintage reads.

The Golden Collar (originally published in 1955 as The Smith‘s Hoard and then as Hidden Gold) is a children‘s holiday story. A brother and sister go to spend some time at their great aunt‘s house and end up finding an Iron Age hoard. I‘m always down for a good hoard!

Cathythoughts These look great Leah 👍🏻♥️ 8mo
lazydaizee Nice book covers. 8mo
jlhammar Both sound wonderful. Love those vintage covers. 8mo

Ruthiella So pretty! 😍 And who doesn‘t like a story about finding hidden treasure? I was fascinated by archeology as a kid. (edited) 8mo
LeahBergen @Cathythoughts I‘m into very light reads of late. 😆 8mo
LeahBergen @Ruthiella I was, too! I would‘ve loved this one as a kid. 8mo
SayersLover Yay! Miss Read is so restful! @LeahBergen 8mo
LeahBergen @SayersLover Isn‘t she? 🥰 8mo

Not my usual read. But I needed something light and fluffy and my #bookspin this month delivered. Cute cozy tale from a tiny English village with a good community and books.

I‘ve read quite a few (7 or 8?) of Miss Read‘s Fairacre novels but this is my first foray into the Thrush Green series. It‘s quiet and charming and I‘m enjoying it immensely!

squirrelbrain Oh I used to love the Miss Read books when I was younger! They had loads of them in our teeny tiny village library. 10mo
rubyslippersreads Believe it or not, I haven‘t read Miss Read. Your lovely copies are inspiring me, though. 10mo

#Pemberlittens this looks like something similar to Pym. #JaneAdjacent Read? @BarkingMadRead @StayCurious

rubyslippersreads I‘ve never read any Miss Read, but would love to. 11mo
LeahBergen I do love Miss Read but her novels are all much more simple and of the “cozy village life” sort than Pym. I‘m trying to say it without sounding snobbish or disparaging but Pym is way more “literary”. 😆 But I read and love them both! 11mo
Crinoline_Laphroaig @LeahBergen Love your explanation! 11mo
