So, I finally got to the post office, Lee😆 Thank you so much, it is really sweet of you to think of me ☺️ My only copy of this book is a ratty old paperback so I am thrilled to have such a beautiful new edition. And it‘s extra special because it‘s from my favourite bookshop. Thank you again, my friend😘
I had looked forward to this 3rd instalment of the Radlett‘s, but oh this is not worth my time. 1/5
⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fanny and her family take center stage in this final book of the Radlett trilogy. She suddenly finds herself the ambassadress of France and zaniness ensues! Not my favorite of the series, but merely good Mitford is still pretty great. 😁
I‘ve just finished the tagged book which leaves me with one more to finish for 2020 (can you see who it is? 😄).
I really enjoyed this low-key, “read books from my own damn shelves” bingo card and will definitely make myself another for 2021 (and perhaps a non fiction one, as well? 🤔).
It feels like time for some more Mitford. 😊
Fanny, the narrator of The Pursuit of Love and Love in a Cold Climate, is back in this one and heading to Paris.
(This is the first edition with the Cecil Beaton designed cover; isn‘t it lovely?)
I love these editions of Nancy Mitford‘s books. She‘s just so posh. 😍 #covercrush #7days7covers Day 6
This is the third novel with Fanny as the storyteller, and it‘s quite the time jump from the previous two. Fanny and husband Alfred have 4 kids, two is finished with school while the other two are at Elton. Then Alfred is appointed the English ambassador in Paris, and Fanny and Alfred moves. The Parisian life is different from their life in Oxford.
The Mitford girls embody #spicegirls for me—smart, sassy, and well known in their day. I have read three of Nancy‘s books so far and loved all of them (The Pursuit of Love, Love in a Cold Climate, and Wigs on the Green) and one of Jessica‘s (The American Way of Death Revisited) which was also fantastic. #aprella
#augustofpages #pinkandgreen. These are just pulled from my main bookshelves in my living room. I was surprised at how many pink and green covers I own. Most of these are unread. See any favorites?
