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!

#ThisWeekinNewBooks : Almost forgot to add the two Kindle bargains. The stack from the top: my treat purchased with Kindle points, 2 from The Novel Neighbor, a library book, and a used book from the library sale. #MountTBR #IndieBookstore
On Mayday the annual fair comes to Thrush Green. Both in Thrush Green and at the fair a new generation gets ready to take over.
Gentle rose-tinted nostalgia now.
Sour old Mr Piggott, who had looked in at St Andrew‘s to make sure that all was in readiness for the two churchings at six-thirty, let fall an ejaculation, quite unsuitable to its surroundings and, emerging from the vestry door, crunched purposefully and maliciously upon a piece of coke to relieve his feelings
So, I masked up today and went to a little charity bookshop where only 5 people are allowed in at a time (& donated books are kept for 10 days before shelving).
Well, I hit the mother lode of Miss Read and scooped up about 13 that I didn‘t own, without even looking through them too much (they were only a couple of dollars each).
When I got home, I discovered that a few were signed AND these photos of Miss Read were tucked into one of them! 😊
The twelfth hour mark has been reached!! 🎉🎉 I just finished my third book, THRUSH GREEN. It‘s such a delightful read, and perfect when you need a little escapism. I‘m going to try to read for another hour, if not, this will be my sign off post until the morning. #24in48 #readathon #thrushgreen #missread @24in48
#24in48 Hour 12 Challenge: First Line of Book
Well, stayed up later than planned last night, reading for the #readathon, so it was a bit of a late start for me this morning. But, now I‘m up and ready and will be reading for the rest of the day. For the 12th hour challenge, I chose the first line from Thrush Green. There‘s something magical about a child‘s excitement, so I loved this one particularly. @24in48 #thrushgreen #missread #firstlines
Yesterday, I woke to a winter wonderland, so a cozy day inside became the plan for the day. Poached eggs & smashed avocado on buttered toast, followed by a few household chores. Afterwards I settled in w/Thrush Green & a cup of hot chocolate (extra marshmallows). It was such a relaxing day, the only worries at hand: what to fix for lunch (Roasted Yams & Chickpeas with Yogurt, recipe by @smittenkitchen), & answering the mailman‘s knock at the door.
