    Amanda Flower also writes a very cute cozy mystery series that features a teacup pig. I forget the pig’s name but it’s cute. The series might be called the Amish sweet shop series. I get them mixed up sometimes but you’re going to spot the pig on the cover because it’s on every one.😊

    My library has a digital copy of Little Grey Men and I immediately borrowed it.

    I will not finish my Victober book in October. I chose Armadale by Wilkie Collins. If I finish before the end of the year, I’ll be happy. 😂 I love gnomes! I’ve heard of Sipsworth and am interested in reading it. Glad to hear you enjoyed it. Wonderful week of reading! 📚

    I also read Sipsworth and enjoyed it. I felt much the same as you did - didn't think I was going to like it when I started, but kept reading. I found it to be full of hope even though I didn't agree with her worldview. I have not read Amanda Flower's Farm to Table series, but I have read her Emily Dickinson mystery series and her Katharine Wright Mystery series. I enjoy her writing and have been meaning to get to the Farm to Table series. Not sure if anyone has recommended the Christmas Tree Farm Mystery series by Jacqueline Frost to you, but Jacqueline Frost is a pen name for Julie Anne Lindsey. If you liked the Cider Shop Mysteries I think you will enjoy the Christmas Tree Farm series. I started a cozy mystery series by Vicki Delany called The Sherlock Holmes Bookshop Mystery series. I have only read the first book and plan to continue with the series.

    There is just something about Conan Doyle! It makes the best autumn reading or winter reading or anytime reading - he is just Mezmerize Ing. I never fail to completely be drawn along in the story and get really annoyed if anybody talks to me during that time!! LOL. I of course reread them or re listen to them pretty frequently and they are just a top classic forever and ever. I think you would really enjoy listening to some of the brilliant readers that have read some of these stories. There are quite a few out there, including one Irish guy whose name escapes me but he is just amazing. 💕💕💕

    I really liked Sipsworth! I'm glad you liked it. When I started it, I wasn't sure either, but I'm so glad we both finished. 😊
    Your week of reading was a good one! I'm intrigued by the 1942 book, The Little Grey Men?
    I'll see if I can get Out to Pasture from the library, for sure!

    I enjoy Sherlock Holmes, have been wanting to do a complete read of all of it , hound of the Baskervilles is my favourite and the speckled band, yikes 😅. I am going to look out for the little grey men, I just love books like that and it just makes my day when I do find them😊.

      I fell in love with Sherlock with Hound of the Baskervilles and I loved the Adventure of the Speckled Band, too!! Have you watched the TV adaptation with Jeremy Brett? I've watched a few of the episodes based on the ones I've read, so I need to go back and catch up. I love him as Sherlock!!

    Yay! I knew you'd love Put Out To Pasture. (I mentioned it to you last month.) You've totally made my morning by your review of it. Autumnally wonderful, right? :) I began with that one, read the next two, then finished with that first one, Farm to Trouble. This might be my favorite cozy mystery series----I almost feel like I know those people in Real Life(!) I love Saturdays and you've made mine more special by talking about these books. Thank-you much!

    Great wrap up! I might have to give Sherlock another try because I tried Study in Scarlet and Sign of Four and just wasn't feeling it. 😅
    Sipsworth sounds good. What you described sounds a bit like A Man Called Ove. I think you would enjoy it too.

    I love Sherlock Holmes and am due for a re-read! I have been enjoying the cozy Lady Hardcastle mysteries recently. I think you would like them. They are cozy and funny and the two main characters are excellent!

    Hi, Mitzi! I read Sipsworth a couple of days ago. I read it in a couple of hours. I heard about it from Jen's Reading Life. I enjoyed it, maybe not quite as much as I thought I would, but I really enjoyed it and the overall message/theme of it.

    • @mitzireadsandwrites
      @mitzireadsandwrites  3 месяца назад

      yeah, I was surprised at how much I keep thinking about it
