Something New, Or Something Fresh
Something New, Or Something Fresh | Pelham Grenville Wodehouse
12 posts | 14 read | 17 to read
"The first entry in P.G. Wodehouse's beloved Blandings Castle Saga, Something New (also published under the alternate title Something Fresh) introduces two young writers, Joan Valentine and Ashe Marson, who find themselves flung together by an increasingly unusual set of circumstances. Forced to pose as servants for a fabulously wealthy family, the two scribes gradually soften toward one another. Can their burgeoning romance survive even as everything else around them appears to be going awry?"--Publisher's website.

Still have two slots open for Group L - Lighthearted Fiction!! Join us reading low-angst, happy reads along the lines of (but not limited to) P.G. Wodehouse, Georgette Heyer, E. Nesbit, etc. There are also loads of other groups open if you're interested in a different genre!!

https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080444aead2ca0ff2-litsy17#/

inthegreensandblues I signed up for Group L.😊 2y
TheAromaofBooks @inthegreensandblues - Yay!! Glad to have you along!! @IndoorDame is reading with us as well!! 😁 2y
IndoorDame @TheAromaofBooks @inthegreensandblues I‘m so sorry but I‘m not going to be able to read with you this round after all. There‘s a chance I may be moving next month and I don‘t want to commit to a reading group I won‘t be able to follow through on. I really hope you find a member to take my place, I love the theme of this group!!! 2y

TheAromaofBooks @IndoorDame - Oh, so sad for us!! But hopefully your move is a good thing!! If we end up not having another person, would you at all be interested in having the group with just three people and we read April-May-June (skipping March)? No worries if not, but I thought I would throw it out there!! 2y
IndoorDame @TheAromaofBooks thank you, I hope the move ends up being a good thing too if it goes through! But my health hasn‘t been great lately so it‘ll take me some time to recover from, so while I do love the idea of getting right back to reading with you this spring, I don‘t see it being possible. I‘m really sorry!!! 2y
TheAromaofBooks @IndoorDame - No worries, just thought I would see if you were interested!! Hopefully everything works out and the new place is full of happiness!! 2y
IndoorDame @TheAromaofBooks thank you for the kind wishes and for understanding ❤️ 2y

Meh! I cannot get into this at all...! 🙄 (bailing at page 56.)

squirrelbrain Oh no! Blah! 5y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag I‘m also not a fan of Wodehouse. I did find the audio easier to get along with tho. 5y
Caroline2 @thegirlwiththelibrarybag yes, I was wondering if it might be better as an audio book. I‘ll give it a break for now tho. 5y

After a day of putting out fires at work, including staying late when all the rest of the staff had left, I relaxed in front of the tree with this cheery little read. A witty romp with no deep themes or dark agendas, it is a well written light, quick read.

tomes4gnomes I love to read anything Wodehouse. Pure delight! For me it‘s the grown up equivalent of reading Winnie-the-Pooh (which I still adore). 7y
[DELETED] 3803335244 I‘ve never read this author but heard good things, definitely need to try! Beautiful tree 🌲 7y
Cathythoughts That‘s one beautiful tee ✨ 7y

“The Honorable Freddie came out of his book much as a sleepwalker wakes—with a sense of having been violently assaulted.”

I think we can all relate to this!

I don‘t have enough time or brain power to read anything Big this week, so I started this at lunch. It should meet the bill of being light and short, but well written.

Peterfox123 Wodehouse and Sherlock Holmes are my "go to" refuges when I just want to submerge myself in another world. Little effort required but immense reward forthcoming. Hope you enjoy. 7y
Lcsmcat @Peterfox123 You can‘t beat the Brits. 😀 7y

P.G. Wodehouse is the ultimate in #comfortreads Jeeves and Wooster especially, but this is from my shelves (& comfort reads need 🍷 & chocolate pudding 😜). I did a blog post last year on escapist reads: http://booksonthego.net/2016/08/26/escapist-books/

#Bug
I've never read Wodehouse before so I picked up this first of the Blandings Castle series from a Book Outlet sale.

rubyslippersreads I normally don't like bugs, but I'll make an exception for these. 😄 7y
melrailey Oh I need to go look for that! I have read all the Wodehouse I have and am in need of more. 7y
LeahBergen @rubyslippersreads Yes, scarabs aren't REALLY dung beetles, are they? 😉 7y

rubyslippersreads @melrailey @LeahBergen I can't believe I've never read any Wodehouse; I need to fix that. 7y
AvidReader25 Love the Jeeves books. 7y
LeahBergen @Avidreader25 I have a few of those to try out when I'm done this one. 😃 7y

Sometimes on a rainy day you just need the library and some classic comedy. Wodehouse is as hilarious as ever, and I always enjoy a quick visit to Blandings to see The Empress.
