#12BooksOf2024 July

This collection of quirky characters read with the #FurrowedMiddlebrowClub was a lot of fun and is my pick for July.

The #FurrowedMiddlebrowClub pick in July was a delightful surprise for me. If the rest of Fair‘s works are as sly and humorous as this one, I may have found a new favorite author!

First I've read in the series but it was interesting and funny. Lots of intrigue though I did figure some of it. Plenty of drama unfolds but the characters are likeable and I would definitely read more. 4*

Finally finished this #FurrowedMiddlebrowClub read 🤦🏼‍♀️ Margery Sharp delights with her witty turn of phrase. The quirky characters living together in 1930s London piecing together work and skating by on charm was fun. Mr Partridge actually turned out to be the oddest & most annoying one - he clearly saw the least as our young characters found their way to a hopeful future. All‘s well that ends well for charming grifters & old men in red socks.

This is more of a will-they-get-away-with-it-dunnit than a whodunnit. I don‘t object to those, but it took forever for the murder to happen, and I found the company setting rather dull.

I enjoyed reading this novel with the #FurrowedMiddlebrowClub. It was a light and fun read. The characters were quirky, though I occasionally found them tedious and annoying.

A few passages made me laugh out loud, like the description of Hugh recovering at his club at the end of the book, and Sharp describing his state-on-mind along with the fact that “there was a bison skull on each wall.“

Shenanigans & colorful characters that were worthy of a few dope slaps. 🤦🏽‍♀️

My favorite is Mr. Partridge, who has a good heart even if a bit of a clueless bumble. The photo above is how I imagine the lending library he was sacked from might have been. (1944)

Anyone else wonder how on earth you‘d tolerate those close living quarters? 😬
