Another year passes in Thrush Green. The big changes I was expecting didn't happen but there were some surprises with old cast members returning and new cast members being added.

Sparklemn I read one in the series years ago. I should try another. 2mo
rwmg @Sparklemn They are very soothing. I think they're best read in order as we follow a group of people more or less year by year for each volume. 2mo
Sparklemn @rwmg I think I read one mid-series. I‘ll start at the beginning. Thanks for the tip! 2mo

Life goes on as charmingly as ever in Thrush Green. Modern life inserts itself with the temporary presence of four members of a rock band, two of whom use drugs, but we only hear about it 2nd or 3rd hand. Major changes are ahead though, with two characters talking about retirement and another no longer able to take care of herself.

Jess_Read_This Medicinal, I‘m sure. It‘s good for building up the blood. Or so I‘m told and what I tell myself. 😂 What a lovely way to spend an afternoon! 🍻📖 (edited) 10mo
LeahBergen @BarbaraBB @sarahbarnes I‘m feeling the urge to visit Powell‘s again now! 10mo

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!

Cathythoughts These look great Leah 👍🏻♥️ 12mo
lazydaizee Nice book covers. 12mo
jlhammar Both sound wonderful. Love those vintage covers. 12mo

Tamra Sweet! 12mo
Ruthiella So pretty! 😍 And who doesn‘t like a story about finding hidden treasure? I was fascinated by archeology as a kid. (edited) 12mo
LeahBergen @Cathythoughts I‘m into very light reads of late. 😆 12mo
LeahBergen @Ruthiella I was, too! I would‘ve loved this one as a kid. 12mo

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!

squirrelbrain Oh I used to love the Miss Read books when I was younger! They had loads of them in our teeny tiny village library. 1y
rubyslippersreads Believe it or not, I haven‘t read Miss Read. Your lovely copies are inspiring me, though. 1y
Tamra So pretty. 😊 1y

LeahBergen @rubyslippersreads You‘ll have to try one soon! They‘re VERY light but enjoyable. 1y

#Pemberlittens this looks like something similar to Pym. #JaneAdjacent Read? @BarkingMadRead @StayCurious

rubyslippersreads I‘ve never read any Miss Read, but would love to. 1y
LeahBergen I do love Miss Read but her novels are all much more simple and of the “cozy village life” sort than Pym. I‘m trying to say it without sounding snobbish or disparaging but Pym is way more “literary”. 😆 But I read and love them both! 1y
Crinoline_Laphroaig @LeahBergen Love your explanation! 1y

Cathythoughts I don‘t know about Miss Read… but I definitely aprove 😁 Enjoy 🍷 (edited) 2y
