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
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.

#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
Thrush Green gets a new inhabitant in the form of a woman with a young son - widow, divorcee, or separated is a mystery.
Another nostalgic trip back to the 1960s to catch up with the lives of the inhabitants of Thrush Green.
‘It reminds me,‘ said the doctor ruminatively, ‘of the remark made by Dr Thompson, of Cambridge, sometime in the last century. He said of Richard Jebb: “The time that Mr Jebb can spare from the adornment of his person, he devotes to the neglect of his duties.”
