This was a fun fluff read, although it did get a little repetitive ("I think he likes me. Ohno he is talking to her so I guess he doesn't like me after all. Oh wait, I misunderstood! He DOES like me!") and felt like it could have either been shorter or delved more into some of the side issues. Overall enjoyable but not life-changing.

Review copy from @revellbooks - thank you! Full review on my blog soon.

Andrew65 Love the cover. Holiday escapism for those in isolation! 5y

TheAromaofBooks @Andrew65 - yes!! Are you under government-mandated isolation there, or just highly-recommended-that-you-stay-at-home isolation? 5y

Andrew65 @TheAromaofBooks Self isolation, but as principal of school schools are still open. Told today Shutting at end if Friday but still to stay open to the children of a range of people who are helping keep society and the fight against Coronavirus. So will be business as usual. 5y

TheAromaofBooks @Andrew65 - everything is so complicated!! Not sure how long people are supposed to go on this way!! 5y

Andrew65 @TheAromaofBooks Big worries about people‘s mental health. 5y

TheAromaofBooks @Andrew65 - definitely! And I see a lot of people bemoaning the fact that their elderly relatives don't want to stay in, but I think a lot of that is due to those older folks not being as comfortable staying connected via technology - that personal interaction is important to them. Uncertainty and isolation make a tough combination! 5y

Andrew65 @TheAromaofBooks I worry that some other people will just give up the will to live. 5y

TheAromaofBooks @Andrew65 - it's definitely a tough time. All we can do is keep reaching out to the people we know who are vulnerable and try to encourage one another!! 5y

Andrew65 @TheAromaofBooks Totally agree. 5y

This is an #LMPBC read so I don't want to say too much. I did enjoy this one but was also somewhat frustrated by some parts of it. I'm already intrigued to find out what the rest of #GroupD thinks of this one!!

Also love the cover layout for this one.

Professional_Book_Dragon @TheAromaofBooks Where did you see the schedule? She said she would post it but I only saw the last round. Did it miss it somewhere? 5y

Andrew65 Still going well! 5y

TheAromaofBooks @Professional_Book_Dragon - did you not get the email with the names/addresses of everyone in the group?? 5y

Professional_Book_Dragon @TheAromaofBooks I did but there wasn‘t a schedule that I saw. She said she‘d post it on her Litsy but I never saw round 8. I figured since I‘m 3 I mail to 4 and then to 1 and then 2. It looked like that was what happened last round? 5y

katy4peas Cool cover! 5y

TheAromaofBooks @Professional_Book_Dragon - Yes, at the end of this month you will mail your book to me (since I'm 4) and I will mail my book to Ruth (who is 1), etc. Jill (3) will mail to you. Then at the end of April, you'll mail Jill's book to me, I'll mail your book to Ruth, etc. Each person always mails to the next person on the list until you get your own book back. 5y

Professional_Book_Dragon @TheAromaofBooks thanks! 5y

This old Regency romance from 1986 isn't in the database - it's a pretty regular read with a spunky heroine but didn't get too ridiculous. Set in Brussels just before the Battle of Waterloo, the background was fun and the characters likable. Good for a one-time read, but now in the giveaway box!

TheAromaofBooks @RosesintheOcean - do you seriously want all of these when I'm done?! This one was pretty bland. But it may still be in the giveaway box lol 5y

Fallen into the Pit | Ellis Peters

pick

Despite the fact that I LOVE the Brother Cadfael books, I have never tried any of Peters's other stories. I came across this one secondhand a while ago and #MarchUnshelving inspired me to finally pick it up! It is a solid, although not mind-blowing, mystery with likable characters - once they got sorted, as there was a bit of a character dump in the beginning. While I didn't instantly bond with Felse like I did Cadfael, this was intriguing ⬇️

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) enough for me to get the next two books in the series from the library to see if the series improves. These were written much earlier than Cadfael, and it does feel like Peters is still finding her stride.

#MarchUnshelving readathon - this was the final book I needed to complete to attain my goals, and I finished it yesterday, so I did complete all six books I set out to read!!

@Clwojick 5y

TheAromaofBooks Also visited Shropshire for #SeparatedbyaPondTour (@Andrew65) and checked of Strong Family Bonds for #MarchBookBingo 5y

TheAromaofBooks As a side note, this book was published in 1951 and the main thrust of the story deals with a German POW being homed into this small, rural community. It's obvious that Peters is struggling with this concept as well - how to move forward from the war while still being constantly bombarded with the results of it. There was a lot to ponder from this story & it made me wonder how much Peters was drawing from real life. 5y

Tineke What is this March Unshelfing everyone's talking about? 5y

Andrew65 @TheAromaofBooks 👏👏👏 5y

Andrew65 @Tineke The aim is during March to try and read books from your own books shelves, and clear books of our physical bookshelves. Have tagged in @Clwojick is leading this drive. 5y

TheAromaofBooks @Tineke - hopefully @Andrew65 was able to answer your questions!! It's just a loose challenge/encouragement for us to read books we already own for the month of March, and to also get rid of books we aren't going to read/reread. @Clwojick also hosted a readathon last week to kick off the month!! 5y

Clwojick Thanks for answering for me guys! @Andrew65 @TheAromaofBooks 5y

so-so

Bk5 of my #MarchUnshelfing #readathon & #challenge is done! This has been on my #MountTBRShelvesOfDoom since it was released in October. It‘s a so-so for me coz while the idea had potential, there was something just a bit lacking in it for me. I‘m not sure what, I was left feeling unsatisfied, like there was more to be told. Here‘s hoping Bk2 helps answer those questions🤞 #LitsyAtoZ2020 #LetterN #MandMChallenge #NewSeries #MountTBR2020 #No6

Mystery in the Pirate Oak | Helen Fuller Orton

so-so

Realizing that it may be difficult to meet my #MarchUnshelving Readathon goal, I sort of cheated by reading a very short children's book to make up my numbers!! This is classic 1940's Scholastic Book Club material - pleasant but not ground-breaking. It was crazy that the grandma had gone west in a covered wagon only 60yrs before!! Owned this since 1997 so I guess it was time to read it. 🙄 Now it is heading to the giveaway box!

TheAromaofBooks @Laughterhp @Clwojick - soooo many books I picked up in the 1990's at book sales and thrift stores and then never actually read! Working my way through them now after a few decades! 😂 5y

Ack I LOVE THESE BOOKS! Ransome does it again with another fun, lighthearted adventure about kids, families, birds, and boats. I've been meaning to read this next installment, but #MarchUnshelving inspired me to pick it up next. This is definitely one I am keeping, but happy to have another book read from my own shelves.

TheAromaofBooks @Andrew65 - I wasn't sure if I would enjoy this one as much since it isn't about the Swallows and Amazons, but I loved it SO much. Every one of these books has been a delight so far, and I'm collecting these specific editions - perfect hardcovers with amazing end-paper maps!!! 😍 5y

rockpools ❤️ ⛵️ ❤️ I was fully planning to reread all of these and unshelve them this year. But I wasn‘t quick enough, so I have to keep them for at least another 10 years in case my niece wants them now 🤣🤣 It‘s the only series of kids books I kept! 5y

TheAromaofBooks @RachelO - I'm not sure how I missed out on these when I was young, but I am thoroughly enjoying reading them for the first time as an adult! They are so funny and adorable! 5y
