The Red House Mystery | Alan Alexander Milne

pick

Read this one in a day - think Agatha Christie, with homage to Holmes and Watson. A locked room murder and a stranger that happens to visit on the same day leads to detection and red herrings galore. At first, I was not completely engaged, but as the clues progressed, I was hooked! Plus, I kept thinking about Winnie the Pooh while reading - I think I still like those stories by Milne a bit more. However, the dedication to his dad was sweet!

I loved this movie and the book doesn't disappoint either. Eventually I want to read or listen to the rest of the series.

I finished my reread of The Fellowship of the Ring. I love this book and especially the parts where they are still in the Shire 💚

Alora Love this edition! I have yet to read the books. I plan to one day! The shire is my favourite part of the movies as well! 5y

rockpools How lovely! I read this between school and college, and just discovered this week that my copy survived all of the dodgy damp/flooded accommodation I‘ve lived in (lots of books got thrown out over the years ☹️) I kind of feel like I might need to read it again now. 5y

LinesUponAPage Is that a leather edition???!!!! 5y

LibrarianRyan Great selection. 5y

Kenyazero I really enjoyed the time spent in the Shire too! It made me miss the Shire almost as badly as the hobbits do as they go along their journey. 5y

BookwormAHN @Lifeisasnap I think it's a leather like edition 😸 5y

JazzFeathers I was trying to decide which part l liked the most, but l can't. I loved the Shire with its homy feeling. I totally loved the Old Forest and its mysteries. Brea and its diversity was fascinating. The Wilderness let everyone's quality come to the surface. Rivendell is just amazing, and l love Elrond. Moria, oh my! Besides l love anything Dwarves. Lorien was just heartbreaking, and the Anduin was revealing. I love EVERYTHING. 5y

LinesUponAPage @BookwormAHN very cool! I love the look of it and as a faux leather it would be inexpensive. Do you have the whole collection in that style? Are their illustrations included in this collection? (edited) 5y

Linsy The Shire parts are lovely! I want to take a long vacation there, just cozied up in a hobbit hole reading. 5y

The Penguin Pool Murder | Stuart Palmer

pick

This has been on my TBR since @erzascarletbookgasm (I think! 😄) posted this article on female detectives. https://murder-mayhem.com/best-female-detectives
Miss Withers is a no-nonsense school teacher with a quick wit & a flare for detection. The mystery of the stockbroker in the penguin pool could not have been solved without her! This is the 1st in the series, published in 1931.
