    Oh my goodness, that wall of vinyl 😍 I’ve never been able to figure out how to transport mine cheaply and safely across the ocean so i don’t see it very often. You’re like me Aaron, when you find a new author you really like or love, you have to own all their books!😉 Hi Snoopy!

    I found a lovely illustrated book of Jane Austen’s letters in a thrift shop that I have just started reading. Also just enjoyed a reread of P & P.
    Nice hardback you found of Pilchur’s. I like to read that one in December. It’s the only one I have read so far, I need to go further with this author. Shell Seekers waits in the wings!

      Yep it will do nicely for my Winter read! Illustrated letters sounds like a wonderful idea, especially if it has portraits.

    Hello Snoopy! 😍 I also found the change of narrator for the Thursday Murder Club books a bit jarring but good to hear they go back to Lesley Manville. I’m looking forward to the film adaptation too.

      I've just double checked and the 4th one is Fiona Shaw too, it's weird because Manville is the interview after book 2 and she said she loves doing them. The film cast looks really promising!

    Snoopy is so cute!! Funnily enough I'm wearing a snoopy t-shirt as I watch this haha.
    Omg that amount of vinyl is insane!!! I'm in awe!
    You've absolutely made me want to try Rosamund Pilcher. I'm sure her books will be very easy to get hold of from the library or used as well.

      It's a weird name for that dog though as he doesn't look like Snoopy. They have massive amounts of vinyl in every room in that house, it's crazy. You would like Pilcher I think, lots of Cornwall.

    Nice Pilcher finds and glad to hear you liked The Shell Seekers. Hopefully the other ones will be really good to. Such a drag about the audio narrator’s changing at one point in the Thursday murder club series; that would annoy me, but glad it goes back to the original. Snoopy is adorable!

      Turns out the narrator doesn't go back, I dunno why I made that up in my head 😂I will have to get used to the new one. I've already bought another Rosamunde Pilcher since I made this too.

    I definitely need to get going on the Boudica series - I think this all the time and have yet to actually do it. Bahaha Nadine Dorries wrote a trashy novel?! 🤣🤣🤣🤦‍♀How did I never know that?! 🤣Ohmygod SNOOPY!!!! Do you dogsit Snoopy often?

      That's definitely one to look forward to then! I think I loved her characterisation so much that I have a feeling I will like all of her books.
