Delightful! A sweet little romance, a lovely happy family and some beautiful clothes. Just what I've come to expect from Susan Scarlett. #FurrowedMiddlebrowClub

repost for @Ruthiella:

Happy Spring #FurrowedMiddlebrowClub members! May's choice is the tagged by club favorite Susan Scarlett, aka Noel Streatfield. Based on previous books by her, I expect a heroine we can root for and a baddie we can love to hate!

January 2025 Book #10
I know this one didn‘t work for everyone but it worked for me. I liked the idea of a novel within a novel. The drama in the novel aunt Addie wrote was so silly, maybe too long but I lol. It was like watching the movie Clue but without a murder. When you thought you had the answer another ridiculous situation appeared. It was fun but the ending also has nostalgic, sad moments for aunt Addie. I like these covers😍 3⭐️

Nicky and Sadie do NOT approve this message. 😼

Except for that slightly anti-feline quote, I loved this book. Every character was interesting, even (or maybe especially) when they were unlikeable. Poor JimJams!

#FurrowedMiddleBrowClub

Sace I can see myself rereading this (despite the anti-feline vibe 😂). 4w

Ruthiella Poor Jimjams! 😢 Love the cover! 4w

LeahBergen Oh JimJams!!! 😭 And I hadn‘t seen this cover before. How cool! 4w

quietjenn Oo, love that you found this cover! 4w

CarolynM That is the best cover! 4w

Realizing that I never posted about the #furrowedmiddlebrowclub book in March, mostly I guess because I finished while I was sick. I should've expected to be tense and anxious, based on other Moore books and that was certainly the case here. As predicted, I did a lot of internal screaming 😂. In a good way, though!

Ruthiella I also did a lot of nail biting! 😬😂 1mo

LeahBergen I was caught off guard by just how anxious this book made me! 😂 1mo

CarolynM It was a great read, if a little disturbing 😳 1mo

Cathythoughts Great review! Stacked 👍🏻❤️ 1mo

I don't know that I've ever been so glad to finish a book! The end was satisfying and I loved Elinor throughout (and Maxine! And Mory!) but this was super stressful reading! 😵‍💫 Langley Moore has created an absolutely diabolical character in Mrs Bankes. Despite the tension, this was really good.
#FurrowedMiddlebrowClub

Ruthiella Awesome! Would the end be so satisfying if the beginning hadn‘t got under our skin the way it did? 🤔 2mo

LeahBergen You made it through! 😆😆 2mo

bookandbedandtea @Ruthiella No, I think we definitely have to go through all the trauma to properly enjoy the ending. 😱 2mo

bookandbedandtea @LeahBergen I feel so relieved! What an uncomfortable story. 😬😁 2mo

I have to agree with Miss MacFarren and Joss. Antonia should be kept far away from animals. Like others, this book is kind of stressing me out 🤣

#FurrowedMiddleBrowClub

bookandbedandtea The birds and then the dog! This book is TOTALLY stressing me out! 🫣 2mo

LeahBergen I know!!! 😬😬 2mo

Sace @bookandbedandtea the…dog? I haven‘t gotten there yet, but I‘m getting the impression I am going to be upset. 2mo

Ruthiella It totally stressed me out too. Hang in there. 😥👍 2mo

bookandbedandtea @Sace I'm so sorry! I had just read that part, and, being quite upset myself, I wasn't thinking of being careful about spoilers. Again, I'm sorry to have mentioned it. But, yes, brace yourself. 2mo

Sace @bookandbedandtea no worries at all! I had already seen some comments so I suspected something anyway. 2mo

Miss Granby's Secret: Or, The Bastard of Pinsk | Eleanor Farjeon

so-so

Finally finished January's #FurrowedMiddlebrowClub selection. The story was cleverly constructed but I found the huge portion of the book that was Aunt Addie's novel really dragged.

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 2mo

LeahBergen That seemed to be a common opinion of the group! 😆 2mo

Ruthiella Yes, this was a wee bit of a chore to read. 😅 2mo

kwmg40 @LeahBergen @Ruthiella Despite the tedium of reading the book-within-the-book, I'm willing to read more by Eleanor Farjeon. I did like other aspects of the novel. 2mo
