I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

A couple of my current vintage reads.
The Golden Collar (originally published in 1955 as The Smith‘s Hoard and then as Hidden Gold) is a children‘s holiday story. A brother and sister go to spend some time at their great aunt‘s house and end up finding an Iron Age hoard. I‘m always down for a good hoard!
I‘ve read quite a few (7 or 8?) of Miss Read‘s Fairacre novels but this is my first foray into the Thrush Green series. It‘s quiet and charming and I‘m enjoying it immensely!
#Pemberlittens this looks like something similar to Pym. #JaneAdjacent Read? @BarkingMadRead @StayCurious
My current read with a big ol‘ Saturday night glass of red wine.
I‘m not sure Miss Read would approve. 😉
pickFriction with the new teacher at the village school, disagreements over maintenance of the churchyard, and a charge of dangerous driving in this visit to the Cotswolds in the early 1970s. Lovely nature-writing and now 50 years later, a real nostalgia-inducing read.
AT a quarter to eight one fine September morning, Harold Shoosmith leant from his bedroom window and surveyed the shining face of Thrush Green.

I had retired from my 2-year temp job helping to run elections. Yippee, summer! 3 weeks later an employee called & asked if I would PLEASE return for the summer primary election & possibly through the November elections. Staff were leaving her to do it alone in the largest city in Vermont. I said yes. 😳 My reading will go downhill. 😩
This is a photo of kids picking cucumbers. In my teen years I laid on one of these for three summers, picking.
#ThisWeekinNewBooks : Almost forgot to add the two Kindle bargains. The stack from the top: my treat purchased with Kindle points, 2 from The Novel Neighbor, a library book, and a used book from the library sale. #MountTBR #IndieBookstore
