Winter in Thrush Green | Miss Read

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!

News from Thrush Green | Miss Read

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 👍🏻♥️ 3mo

lazydaizee Nice book covers. 3mo

jlhammar Both sound wonderful. Love those vintage covers. 3mo

Not my usual read. But I needed something light and fluffy and my #bookspin this month delivered. Cute cozy tale from a tiny English village with a good community and books.

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. 5mo

rubyslippersreads Believe it or not, I haven‘t read Miss Read. Your lovely copies are inspiring me, though. 5mo

Tamra So pretty. 😊 5mo

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

rubyslippersreads I‘ve never read any Miss Read, but would love to. 7mo

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! 7mo

Crinoline_Laphroaig @LeahBergen Love your explanation! 7mo

In this slow paced, Maeve Binchy-esqe novel, 32 year old Jess has moved to a small village after the death of her grandmother, who was her guardian after Jess‘s parents died. We join Jess as she acclimates to village living, becomes the proprietor of the littlest library using her grandmother‘s beloved books, makes new friends and maybe finds love. I was expecting a little more and Jess irked me at some points, but a sweet story. ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 /5 ❤️📚

Before the Feast | Saša Stanišic

Not as strong as Where You Come From, but also an extremely well written book. Tiny hints of great humor, at some points I had to laugh out loud while listening to the audio version read by the author himself. Connections between the past, the now and the people that live in the spaces between. Life on the country side where everything takes its time. Critics say there's no plot. They're right. But there's feeling, there's comfort. There's home.

Starting this one next. I‘m such a sucker for books about books. I‘m a mood reader and am looking for quaint, quirky, sweet with some depth and feeling. I think this one will fit the bill perfectly! ❤️📚
