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!

The Chilbury Ladies' Choir: A Novel | Jennifer Ryan

An uplifting story of group of women coming together to support each other through the dark days of World War II in war-torn Kent, England. Watching these typical, normal village women find their inner strength and grow in independence, while also caring for each other, is so inspiring. Most of the women are flawed, some are not likable, and many of them make mistakes, but they all persevere, doing the best they can in extraordinary times. ⬇️

julieclair A very realistic-feeling portrayal of life on the Home Front during the war.

This was my #ReadOrDonate choice for March. 8mo

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 👍🏻♥️ 8mo

lazydaizee Nice book covers. 8mo

jlhammar Both sound wonderful. Love those vintage covers. 8mo

LeahBergen @Cathythoughts I‘m into very light reads of late. 😆 8mo

LeahBergen @lazydaizee @jlhammar @Tamra 😘😘😘 8mo

Reservoir 13 | Jon McGregor

pick

Reservoir 13 is a quiet, creeping bummer of a book. It‘s a well written one, masterful in fact, but a quiet, creeping bummer nonetheless. Full review: https://keepingupwiththepenguins.com/reservoir-13-jon-mcgregor/

Donna1980 This review made me smile… how often have I read a book that is so beautifully written but definitely a bummer of a read! Im keeping that phrase in my vault! 8mo

Thrush Green | Miss Read

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. 10mo

rubyslippersreads Believe it or not, I haven‘t read Miss Read. Your lovely copies are inspiring me, though. 10mo

Tamra So pretty. 😊 10mo

Some Tame Gazelle: A Novel | Barbara Pym

pick

I discovered Pym last year and absolutely have fallen in love with her novels. Reminiscent of Austen, Pym writes of comings and goings, contented middle-aged spinsters, vicars and curates, rejected proposals—and I‘m here for it. (Alas, this one does have a few sections that haven‘t aged well.) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ruthiella I need to revisit this one. 10mo

Miss Buncle�s Book | D.E. Stevenson

pick

In a nutshell, a novel about a novel about an English village that upsets the apple cart. The story is like Miss Buncle‘s book - deceptively simple. Compulsively readable, yet quiet. At the same time, I was frequently anxious about the situations and outcomes!
Unusual for me, I had a very hard time picturing Miss Buncle. I couldn‘t quite place her!

Thank you for sending it to me @Gissy !
