4⭐️ I like Celia Dale; I‘m already collecting her other titles published by Daunt Books. This one here is so refreshing. A gentle crime novel that is not too creepy, just a tad disturbing. How did she do that? I love it!

Cathythoughts I loved this one. 👍🏻❤️ 16h

4⭐️ My second time reading this, and I enjoyed it more than the first time. I haven‘t watched the movie yet but heard praises about it. Which is your favorite Elizabeth Taylor?

Ruthiella This is my only Elizabeth Taylor. Where do you suggest I go next? 🤔 2d

BarbaraBB This one! 2d

LeahBergen I haven‘t read this one yet but, of the six or so I‘ve read, I remember really enjoying At Mrs Lippincote‘s and The Sleeping Beauty. I‘ve liked them all, though! 😆 2d

The Getting of Wisdom | Henry Richardson

My current read, and one I‘ve been meaning to get to for years, is this 1910 Australian classic about a country girl who is sent to a Melbourne boarding school.

Have any of my Australian friends on Litsy read it? 😀

Liz_M I'm not Australian, but I read this years ago. 3w

Ruthiella Gosh, why haven‘t I read this? I‘ve probably always mixed it up with

My Brilliant Career

CarolynM I haven‘t read it, but I have seen the film😉 3w

LeahBergen @Liz_M Did you remember liking it? I‘m only a few chapters in but so far, so good! 3w

LeahBergen @Ruthiella I think I may have confused it with that title, too 😆 3w

LeahBergen @CarolynM Haha! I only noticed that there was a film when I was looking at the different covers here on Litsy! Is it a popular Australian novel? Like Anne of Green Gables here in Canada? 3w

Teresereading Yes - Year 11 English Lit 3w

CarolynM It‘s thought of as a “literary” novel so I‘d guess most people who‘ve read it would have read it at school, like @Teresereading 🙂 I think Seven Little Australians would be closer to the Anne equivalent, in spite of the ending😭 3w

LeahBergen @Teresereading Oh! That‘s interesting! 3w

LeahBergen @CarolynM I have Seven Little Australians waiting on my shelf! 3w

CarolynM Oops! I thought you‘d read it. Sorry for the spoiler🫢😬 2w

LeahBergen @CarolynM Oh, no worries. I‘d already heard it has a sad ending! 😆 2w

Sheep's Clothing | Celia Dale

pick

Another great read from Celia. I couldn‘t put this down.. Grace and Janice meet in prison , when they are released they team up and make their living visiting old ladies. There‘s a bit of romance thrown in too .. and the result is a compelling story. I loved it ! The more I read her , the more I like her. I must get another one for my shelf.
Thankyou Trish for the gift of this book ❤️👌🏻
N. B. The book is not, 700 pages. It‘s about 300.

Cathythoughts @LeahBergen That‘s brilliant news Leah , stacking. ❤️ 3w

sarahbarnes You‘re really making me want to try this writer! ♥️ 3w

Cathythoughts @sarahbarnes She‘s similar to Celia Fremlin and Ruth Rendell … so if you like the domestic noir set in and around mid 1900‘s .. psychological thrillers and murder and mystery … then you‘d likely enjoy her ❤️ 😁 (edited) 3w

Illyrian Spring | Ann Bridge

A springtime read from 1935 and I‘m really enjoying it!

Lady Kilmichael, a renowned artist, leaves her remote husband and adult children to go on a painting trip to the Dalmatian coast without telling any of them her whereabouts. While there she ends up taking under her wing an unhappy young man whose family has forbidden him to pursue his art. Methinks love is in the air!

(I‘m also intrigued by this peek at what would later become Croatia).

Leftcoastzen Yay green Virago! 2mo

MemoirsForMe This story reminds me of Anne Tyler‘s Ladder of Years. Enjoy! 📖 1mo

LeahBergen @MemoirsForMe I just read the plot summary and it does seem similar! I‘ll keep an eye out for that one at the bookstore (or big used book sale we have coming up in my city 😆). 1mo

MemoirsForMe It‘s a great book, though your protagonist may be luckier in love.🤭Those big used book sales are so much fun. Our annual one here is in Sept. Even if they are detrimental to my shelf space. 🤦🏻‍♀️ 1mo

LeahBergen @MemoirsForMe I try to have a bit of a shelf “clear out” before the big sales come up as I usually come home with a box full! 😆 1mo

Bookbuyingaddict I‘m going to Croatia 🇭🇷 on 27th I‘m now going to order this I do love ❤️ to read a book set in or about the country I‘m visiting thank you 🙏 🥰😘 4w

LeahBergen @Bookbuyingaddict I really enjoyed it! I guess it‘s popularity and success started a later travel boom in Croatia. 3w
