Thank You, Jeeves | P G Wodehouse

Mehso-so

I couldn‘t remember which Wodehouse featured Bertie on a millionaire‘s yacht - turns out it‘s this one! Not one I particularly enjoy. Bertie and Jeeves part ways due to Bertie‘s banjolele playing. Bertie is also evicted for the same reason, so he heads to a cottage in the country where he may play in peace. Unfortunately, the country also holds a former fiancée, her steamroller father, Sir Roderick Glossup, and a crazy replacement valet. ⬇️

mabell Of course Jeeves also happens to be in the same part of the country and save the day 😄 3mo
julieclair Too bad it wasn‘t one of the better ones… 3mo
mabell @julieclair I think I‘m just being picky because there are so many that I love 😄 3mo
julieclair I love Jeeves, too! 😎 3mo

The Adventures of Sally | P. G. Wodehouse
post image
Pickpick

Another stand-alone gem by Wodehouse. Sally is a nice girl of modest means who lives in a New York boarding house and has to work for a living. She suddenly inherits money, and her world changes. Again (see my previous review), hijinx ensue on both sides of the Atlantic, but true love triumphs in the end. A rags to riches to rags story with a happy ending. I loved sparky Sally and her practical approach to life.

Chrissyreadit @mabell @TheAromaofBooks @julieclair Have any of you read this one? 10mo
julieclair Looks great! Added to my stack. @Chrissyreadit @mabell @TheAromaofBooks I have never even heard of this one! 10mo
TheAromaofBooks I've read this one, but it has been several years. Some of Wodehouse's standalone novels are just SO fun 10mo

The Intrusion of Jimmy | P. G. Wodehouse
post image
Pickpick

I listened to this in installments on the Classic Tales podcast, wonderfully read by B. J. Harrison. It was delightful, as all of Wodehouse‘s pre-war work is. Young Jimmy pretends to be a master burglar, ends up breaking into the police chief‘s house, further complicates things by falling in love with the Chief‘s daughter. Hijinx ensue on both sides of the Atlantic. Apparently this has also been published under the title A Gentleman of Leisure.

Bertie is roped into a visit to Deverill Hall, a country house owned by friends of his Aunt Agatha. Once there he finds an over-abundance of aunts, several couples on the outs and himself impersonating Gussie Fink-Nottle. Thankfully Jeeves is there to set things straight and help everyone out of their trouble.

wanderinglynn I love Wodehouse! 12mo
AmyK1 @wanderinglynn So do I! I always save them for when I need something lighthearted. 12mo

I always find PG Wodehouse so comforting when I‘m busy and stressed, and this was no exception. I‘d be lying if I said it was as good or as funny as the Jeeves and Wooster books but I still got a lot out of reading it and had a great time.

1. This is a tough one. My shortlist would be - 😄😁🤣😂😐😑🙄. If I had to guess the one I use most, I'd probably say 😄. Not quite laughing myself to tears, more like I just heard something wry and witty.

2. Anything by Wodehouse. I'll say the tagged book, because it's the first one of his I read.

Money for Nothing | P G Wodehouse

While this isn't my favorite Wodehouse book, his writing exists on its own scale, where even a not-great Wodehouse is still better than most other books 😂 While this one is somewhat lacking aunts, it has most of the other Wodehouse trademarks of crisscrossed lovers, insurance fraud, tightfisted uncles, double-crossing and triple-crossing, and some smooth-talking Americans. An absolute delight. 😁

Ruthiella That‘s right! For great authors, even their lesser efforts are worthy. 14mo

LeahBergen Look at that lovely Wodehouse shelf! 14mo
TheAromaofBooks @LeahBergen - Only part of the collection 😂 I'm slowly reading/rereading all of his books and using it as an excuse to expand my vintage hardcover collection!!! 14mo
LeahBergen I have quite a few in the nice Folio Society editions but you can‘t beat the vintage hardcovers, I say! I only have a couple of those. 14mo
Librarybelle Hooray!! 14mo
TheSpineView Great job! 14mo

I forgot to take a picture of the book before I sent it, but I thought this cover was appropriate with all of Jeeves and Bertie‘s sartorial differences in this one!

So much fun! And as usual poor Bertie lands in the soup multiple times due to the machinations of his nearest and dearest!

It‘s on its way to you @Chrissyreadit ! I‘m so sorry it‘s so late!!!

mabell @TheAromaofBooks Isn‘t that the truth! I listened to it and read it, because I love Jonathan Cecil‘s narration so much! It‘s so cheerful - even when Bertie is in the soup 😀 I forgot to mention, I received your book, too! 1y
TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Also, Mary Rose got your amazing box!!! Thank you SO much!!!! 1y
mabell @TheAromaofBooks Oh yay!! ❤️❤️ 1y
