#bookreport
Loved Sabriel on audio. Tim Curry narrating!

#weeklyforecast
The Good Soldier is on #serialreader so I know I'll finish it (can't say I'm enjoying, but yay for another #1001books down)
I'm loving Fault Lines so far, so I'm sure I'll finish it, then probably go back to Wild Seed, which I'm also enjoying
For audio, I'll finish Jeeves and start The Phoenix Crown - highly anticipated so 🤞 it lives up to my hopes

Thanks for the tag, @Texreader !

#MotivationalMonday

1) read, take walks, finish a knitting project, and maybe wash the windows ?
2) tagged + The Love of my Afterlife + a few "dip in" books
3) loyal, stubborn ?

My favorite book of November was The Inimitable Jeeves, which I read with my #HappyFiction buddies, @Chrissyreadit , @mabell and @TheAromaofBooks . 🙂
#12Booksof2023 @Andrew65

My first Wodehouse. Top notch. Finished May 3, 2023.

This was just good, silly fun. A Romp and many scrapes with Wooster and luckily Jeeves to sort them out. Mailed to you yesterday @julieclair

I forgot to take a picture of the book before I sent it, but I thought this cover was appropriate with all of Jeeves and Bertie‘s sartorial differences in this one!

So much fun! And as usual poor Bertie lands in the soup multiple times due to the machinations of his nearest and dearest!

It‘s on its way to you @Chrissyreadit ! I‘m so sorry it‘s so late!!!

4-7 Jul 2022 (audiobook)
I do not expect anyone could read Jeeves quite like Stephen Fry. The language and humour shines through Fry‘s brilliant narration.

This was an audio book, it reminded me of an old radio show but only one narrator, I don't think I would have finished if I had read it, an enjoyable listen though.

Make a great day everyone 😊

This is really a stand in for the whole series. I love books that can make me laugh and the 4 Wodehouse novels read I‘ve read did exactly that multiple times. This is really just strung together short stories, many featuring Bertie‘s pal Bingo, who is just as imbecilic as he and falls in love with any girl at the drop of a hat. Bertie gets roped in and and Jeeves bails them out.

Many thanks to @Andrew65 for this fun challenge. 🙏

#12booksof2021

I listened to the 2nd Jeeves on audiobook in #September and it was just the light, clever listen I was looking for. I highly recommend audio for these: I read the first in print and didn‘t find it nearly as enjoyable as actually hearing the quick British wit.

@Andrew65

#doublespin a Jeeves ‘novel‘?? But more like a series of loosely connected short stories. Enjoyed it, just felt a bit weird in the way it was structured…

Listened to this Jeeves and Wooster while making good progress on my cross stitch. This was my second Jeeves and I definitely liked it better than the first in the series, which I read a few years ago. I think a lot of it had to do with hearing all the British dry wit instead of simply reading it. Recommend for a light, funny listen! #audiostitching

Holiday weekend plans: finish my IRL book club book, The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels (about halfway through and liking it more than I thought) and start listening to The Inimitable Jeeves while working on my cross stitch project after a long break (I tend to only stitch in the fall and winter). Do you all have a favorite Jeeves and Wooster narrator? The one I downloaded is read by Cecil 🤞

Today I finished The Inimitable Jeeves, the 2nd I‘ve read in this collection. Although I didn‘t enjoy it as much as Carry on, Jeeves, this is still a hilarious book that has aged very well and is definitely deserving of the ‘pick‘ rating
I gave this book 4 stars ✨

Frivolous and witty - Bertie and Jeeves are just what I need at the moment! At a whopping 3 hrs for #20in4. 😏

This collection brightened my days considerably while I was reading it. Jeeves always manages to save the day. The only thing that would make these even better is if they were done as audiobooks narrated by Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie.

#ebooks #currentread

I really enjoyed it.
It's fun and light and still there's something in it that never makes it silly.

The way Bertie lives his life, among clubs, family and friends' crises and improbable bets might have easily turn into something unbearable boring in less skillful hands. Wodehouse manages to give it heart.
And l suppose there's something in the way working Jeeves always is a step ahead of all these upper-crust gents and ladies.

Brilliant.

#FellowshipOfTolkien

And l thought Tolkien was the only one to use such a strange name 😂

Just started this with an Instagram reading group.
It's a year long challenge to read books from the 1920s to celebrate the beginning of the 2020s.
I'm so upset that l found this challenge halfway through the year, but hey, here l am.

Jeeves and Wooster are always good when you want a lighthearted read.

1. Book friendship?🤔Well, I like adventure, laugh so HP & the characters, Poirot who can show me how to resolve mysteries, maybe Dresden. I need to read more☺️2. Based on books read since last year, Stephen King because I was avoiding him but I enjoyed very much the books I read. Also Ruta Sapety & Mary Stewart first time I read something from them and I liked it. 3. I will say those big classic book like Les Miserable but I want to read it.

Thanks for the tag @Eggs !

1. It may be employer/employee - but I like to think of Bertie and Jeeves as a friendship 😊
2. I really enjoyed Angela Thirkell - looking forward to reading more.
3. Paradise Lost in high school - I “translated” it line by line, and loved it!

#wondrouswednesday

Wooster, who sings like a bally nightingale, and often on the receiving end when life 'always comes along to give it to (him) in the neck', is my pick for April's Fool 😉😆😉
It doesn't help his Aunt Agatha treats him like a stringed puppet... Hehehe
#BloomingBibliophiles
#AcrossApril

Truly nothing makes me happier than reading Wodehouse. His writing exists on its own scale for me. Here, the book is rather episodic, connected by the various love affairs of Bertie's friend Bingo and, of course, the never-failing wisdom of Jeeves.

1. Can't go wrong with Wodehouse - I'm currently reading this one.
2. I was born in the morning - not true, I fear haha
3. Winter - basketball!
4. Oh, I wouldn't even know where to start! I have met so many kind, wonderful people here. Reading your posts (and letters!) brings me happiness every day. ❤

#FriyayIntro @4thhouseontheleft @howjessreads

Started listening to The Inimitable Jeeves for my #CenturyOfBooks Challenge. This one was first published in 1923.

Love Bertie Wooster and Jeeves - kept picturing Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry as I read it.

Bally, rummy, chappie. Pip-pip! I‘m beginning to think Wodehouse is not for me - I found this repetitive and didn‘t quite tickle my funny-bone like the first (and even that was only just a three-star). I feel sad, as I usually adore British comedy.

I am behind my daily photo challenge @Cinfhen @vivastory ! #musicalnewyear
I‘m pretty sure the brilliant valet Jeeves thinks of Wooster “It‘s #youandmebutmostlyme who get you and your friends out of mishaps!”

Comfort reading on a sick day. 😷📚

If the saying “laughter is the best medicine” is true, then I‘ll be feeling better in no time!

Today‘s book mail. 💙💜

I recently read my first Jeeves and Wooster novel and immediately decided I “needed” this illustrated set of the (prequel) short stories in my life.

#FolioSociety

Well, I made it about halfway through book three (tagged) for the readathon and it‘s very funny - just the thing I needed - but I‘m tired and I have to get up in the morning for a champagne brunch (poor me 😆) so I‘m calling it a night! It‘s been fun doing the #readathon with everyone! Good luck to those staying awake @DeweysReadathon

I was looking for some 'older' Folio editions and found this one. @LeahBergen is this the edition you once bought? Or is there another edition aswell?

#foliofreaks

5⭐️The situations Bertie Wooster finds himself in will result in the reader wearing a perma-grin throughout this book, interspersed with periods of goofy snickering. Thank heavens for Jeeves‘ steady handling of all situations. I cannot rave enough what a wonderful reading experience this book was.

#WodehouseFan

“Good Lord, Jeeves! Is there anything you don‘t know?‘ ‘I couldn‘t say, sir.‘ 🎩

I missed the mark in the #24in48 due to some unexpected family obligations & beekeeping issues arising. But I sure had a blast and loved seeing all the wonderful posts!

🎓Those that hit their 24 hour mark, I salute your reading prowess and fortitude. Awesome reading!

Jeeves💕 The Mr. has dibs on my copy next because all my snickering over it caught his attention.

My first Wodehouse and I liked it! Do all the stories jump around a bit or just this one? I didn‘t mind it but just curious? I like the subtlety of humor in this one. It all just works! Definitely will pick up another!

🙈💖My apologies @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks tagged me for PINK not Green books for #bookcolortag... I had to fix this.. especially when I was tagging people for Pink! 💕

💖I was so excited to search my shelves I misread her tag! Can you tell I was always picked last for sports? So a tag is exciting for me! 🤣

"How does he look, Jeeves?"
"Sir?"
"What does Mr Bassington-Bassington look like?"
"It is hardly my place, sir, to criticize the facial peculiarities of your friends."

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I adore Jeeves. @batsy I had to show you the back cover too! I inwardly shrieked when I saw it at the used bookstore.
