Look who popped up on my Kindle when I took a break from reading A Gilded Grave for #saveourcozies #readathon, made me giggle, I think she wants me to get back to reading.

Another one for my journal and another historical fiction based in 1920's NYC, I really enjoyed listening to the narrator, excellent job.

"... The local constable a man whose benign disposition and elastic interpretation of the licensing laws had made him deeply respected in the district." I do not have enough room in my book journal for all these wonderful lines in this wonderful book.

LauraBeth ❤️ the bullet journal! 8y

This child with his naive outlook on life was the compass which showed them the degree of their departure from what they knew but did not want to know.

The tenth (pig) was last seen heading north at a good pace. God knows where it is now. Oh, I didn't tell you - one of them got into the post office.

I have so much about this lovely book to get into my book journal...2 pages will never be enough.

[DELETED] 2965647271 I just finished reading it and I loved it. I kept saying "This is the best chapter," but then I would say it again at the next. Enjoy! 8y
