Anyone remember that show- I used to love it!
Sharing what I am reading is my favorite blog to write, so glad to have some new books to chat about.
The first one was suggested to by Wendy in a previous reading blog post. It's a playfully written book about 11 year old Flavia, and her interest in all things science and investigation. In this book she is trying to solve a murder. There are a few more books in the Flavia series which I look forward to reading.

I am just finishing up this Margaret Atwood book (a charity shop purchase at 2.5o!). I enjoy Atwoods writing. (And of course have an affinity towards her as a fellow Canadian). There is no fuss about it, and its pretty blunt. A good book which stirred up memories of being a young girl. Any suggestions of other good Atwood books to read?
And finally this book. I will be honest and say I didn't really enjoy this book whilst I was reading it. It's short (only 150 pages) which made it fast read, but the instant I finished it, I wanted to read it again. By the end of the book the story finally came together and I had that "ah ha" moment. (I also tend to think that any book that wins a prize must be good- am I alone in thinking this?).
I loved Sweetness at the bottom of the pie such a fun easy read. I was hooked on Rebecca Topes' Cotwold series about a recent widow (Thea)who decided to start house sitting with her excitable little dog (Hepzibah). You have to accept them for what they are, as how many murders can one house sitter stumble upon, but I am transported to the beautiful countryside and have enjoyed getting to know the characters. The first in the series is called "A Cotswold Killing"
ReplyDeleteI have the other Flavia books in the series Lins if you would like them!
DeleteOh I do enjoy the Cotswolds- will have to keep an eye out of that one.
DeleteOh, I love The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Margaret Atwood recommendation. I've never read any of her books but might have to!
You are welcome! I an interested to read a few other Atwood books- this one was quite good.
DeleteI haven't read any of these books! Love the look of the first one.
