Ruthiella How enormous are the later in the series picture book going to be? They are going to have to split them up I think 🤔 (edited) 6y
Linsy @Ruthiella That‘s what I keep thinking! If not, those are not going to be travel size! 6y
janeycanuck @Ruthiella @Linsy the font is pretty big so maybe they‘ll just do a smaller font size to help keep them manageable? 6y

The series starts to lose its mojo after the initial trilogy but these first three books were just awesome. 😎 Michael Mouse, Mary Ann & friends navigate love, sex and dating in late 1970‘s San Francisco.❤️

ReadingEnvy I downloaded this in audio because of the actors who read it but I haven't tried it yet. 7y
Ruthiella @ReadingEnvy I think you‘ll breeze through it when you get to it Jenny. It is such a fun, crazy page turning set of stories 😀 7y

Poetry is not really my bag but I tried to create a Haiku:

“Any human heart
a place of greater safety
written on the body “

Ruthiella @BkClubCare Gee, thanks😊 7y

The complicated friendship depicted in this series was so well done IMO. Hard to read but true to life. #bestbookfriendship #riotreads

Tashreads This is my pick for bookish friends too. 7y
Crazeedi I read the series, it was worth the time 7y
Ruthiella @Tashreads Great minds!😀 7y

Ruthiella @Crazeedi I read all four books too...so good! I want now to read some of her other books. 7y
Crazeedi @Ruthiella yes I know what you're saying, her writing gets down deep 7y
SledgeReader @Ruthiella These are on my TBR. 7y
Ruthiella @SledgeReader I hope you like them when you get to them!😀 7y
BkClubCare I attempted this on audio. I think I need it in print. 7y
Ruthiella @BkClubCare I read them with my eyes 👀 . The writing is pretty straightforward; no bells or whistles. 7y

The Saturdays | Elizabeth Enright

I have never forgotten that I first read about “petites fours” in this book when Miranda (Randy) has tea with Mrs. Oliphant.

🍰 “Francois arranged the feast before them. Petites fours turned out to be the most wonderful little cakes in frilled paper collars: pink, and pale yellow, and chocolate, with silver peppermint buttons on top.”

Fairly sure this is why I majored in French! 🇫🇷 #riotreads #icecreamsweettreats

Niallism Mr Kipling‘s ‘French Fancies‘ are petit fours, and they will melt your heart while they‘re melting your teeth. 7y
Ruthiella @Niallism That sounds about right!😋 7y
Centique This is one of my very favourite books. I wanted to be a Saturday more than anything! I tried reading it to my kidlets but it just didn‘t work for them. I had better luck with The Borrowers and Milly Molly Mandy. 7y
Ruthiella @Centique I loved the Borrowers too! 7y

Overshadowed by Collins‘ other titles The Moonstone and The Woman in White but unfairly so IMO! I loved this roller coaster ride of a classic Victorian sensation novel😍 #ReadingResolutions #underratedbook

Day 23: Book You've Owned the Longest. I'm pretty sure I have books from when I was really young back home at my parents house, but I have these. I grew up surrounded by books and have memories of them always around. So I'm not totally positive which books I've owned the longest. Avi was a particular favourite, always got his books in those scholastic book sales. #riotreads
