📖 Collected Poems of Edward Thomas

Always happy to read a new Agatha Raisin story! It‘s been awhile. While I will always miss M.C. Beaton, I do think the new author has a decent grasp of the characters. It‘s a little different but not enough to make me stop reading. Very happy Penelope Keith narrated the audiobook. 4⭐️

I didn't find the book I went looking for today, but better than if I'd found it, I found a book I didn't know I was looking for 😊

Very enjoyable to read Cusk‘s first novel that really deftly captures the experience of being a young female adult. Some lines were so spot on: “She strove not to please others but merely not to disgust them.” An accurate portrait of growing into female adulthood in the 90s from my perspective. Agnes is a little trying at times, but I loved to see her find her way.

Look what arrived today! Yippee! I can't wait until the 13th! 🩷🖤💜🖤🩷🎉 #ValloweenSwap #ValloweenSwap2025

Here‘s an add for the book at the end.
Yay! I‘m finally done with this book. I didn‘t realize I was so close to the end, the notes in the back of the book start at about the 50% mark! I‘m glad I read it & sad I didn‘t enjoy it, since the author is a famous female author. The historical notes at the end of the book an interesting, so I‘m reading them. #AuthorAMonth
