pickThis was a fun, light read with a rather unbelievable storyline. Still, I enjoyed it and plan on reading the next book in the series. Middle aged woman catches her husband in bed with her best friend. In shock, she clears out their bank account and buys a ticket on a luxury yacht leaving on a world cruise. There she befriends a butler and a perky personal trainer and promptly gets framed for murdering a jewel thief. Believable? No.Fun to read?Yes.
22 #3 A fun little short book. Series I believe.
I am posting one book a day from my extensive to be read collection. No description and no reason why I got these books. Some are really old and some are new; there are quite a few.
This is day 2.

pickThe only other Schmidt I‘ve read was Orbiting Jupiter (which knocked me on my butt) so I really should‘ve seen this coming. What a delightful and unexpectedly powerful, relatable story. The audio narration was amazing. Christopher Gebauer was convincingly a British butler, middle school boy, and grumpy vice principal in the same breath. 🏏🏏🏏🏏🏏
I am loving this audiobook! The narration is spot on. I‘m even finding myself interested in the game of cricket. If the butler pulls a Mary Poppins at the end I will SOB. ☂
pickThis is a humorous and poignant middle reader level book about a 12 yo boy and his family going through some really tough issues when a very British butler shows up on their very American, chaotic doorstep. (Think Mary Poppins, without the magical bits.) I especially loved how the kids adopted the Butler‘s speech patterns.There is a lot of cricket, both being played and used symbolically, to deal with loss, responsibility.A wonderful read.
