Bachelor Brothers' Bed & Breakfast Pillow Book (Us)
Bachelor Brothers' Bed & Breakfast Pillow Book (Us) | Bill Richardson
9 posts | 14 read | 19 to read
A pair of endearingly eccentric bachelors - in their fifties, and fraternal twins - own and operate a bed & breakfast establishment where people like them, the "gentle and bookish and ever so slightly confused, " can feel at home. Hector and Virgil think of their B&B as a refuge, a retreat, a haven, where folks may bring their own books or peruse the brothers' own substantial library. Bachelor Brothers' Bed & Breakfast supplements each twin's distinctive and colorful description of life at their B&B with entertaining extracts from their guest book, lists of suggested reading materials (e.g., Books for When You Are Feeling Low), and astoundingly bad verse penned by a local poet. The lively cast includes Waffle the cat and the scripture-quoting parrot, Mrs. Rochester, as well as the ever-present warm memory of Mother.

This is a bit of Canadian humour, parts made me smile and a few even made me laugh. I was ready to rate it “good” and I (mostly) did like it, but more so in the first half. The second half felt like it got a bit too philosophical for my liking. I liked that so many of the top 10 lists included Canadian authors

Three books based on CBC radio shows. I was an avid listener when I lived in Canada. Anyone else remember 1-800-Sad-Goat?

This was a sweet book about twin brothers who run a bed and breakfast. The chapters alternate between the brothers' points of view as well as musings from some of their guests. While there isn't a strong plot to follow, the little stories included throughout are fun and quick to read.

Dragon I read this a few years ago and found it funny and quirky. I used to listen to the author read excerpts from this book on the radio. 👍🐉 6y

Cozy reading for readers: a fictional B&B in an uncharted valley on an imaginary island near Vancouver, set up as "a refuge, a retreat, a haven for bibliophiles." This is that. Yessss.

[DELETED] 2232195534 I've got blogging friends who loved this book so much a few years ago. I always meant to read it. 😀 8y
LeahBergen One of my faves ❤️ 8y

Zelma I've been wanting to read this for years. I got rid of my copy because the type was too small, but I need to find another copy. Cozy sound perfect right now. 8y
