He beautifully captures the wit and whimsy of AMC's books.<br /><br />I knew you'd like 'Tortoise'! :-) I wonder if any of her other novels are along the same lines... and if they're available.<br /><br />Jo: I've only read two Hamish M. books and I almost hated the first. Fortunately the latest was much better.<br /><br />Sunday Taylor: Hello and welcome to my blog! Thank you for the recommendation - I shall add it to my TBR list :-)<br /><br />'As My Whimsy Takes Me' is an informal reading challenge that I started this year to read all the Wimsey books in chronological order. Anyone can join by clicking on the link or the page in the top menu. It can be a read or a re-read and you can dip in and out as you please.<br /><br />I've read the first two so far and hope to read book three this month. I really must get the reviews up though! Please check out the Wimsey challenge page for links to reviews by other bloggers.Cristina (Rochester Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11157196972931051576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034683570321410224.post-22187815241850489062011-05-03T23:37:56.050+01:002011-05-03T23:37:56.050+01:00If you liked "Age of Innocence" by Edith...If you liked "Age of Innocence" by Edith Wharton you will also like "The House of Mirth," which is one of my favorites. I am intrigued by the title on your sidebar -- "As My Whimsey Takes Me." I loved "Gaudy Night" and other titles by Dorothy Sayers, but have not heard of this one. I will look into it. I just finished "By Nightfall" by Michael Cunningham and really enjoyed it. Happy reading.Sunday Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13148090705938196599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034683570321410224.post-54928797763646901412011-05-03T20:34:34.185+01:002011-05-03T20:34:34.185+01:00Not read any of the Hamish MacBeth Books, but did ...Not read any of the Hamish MacBeth Books, but did enjoy Emily goes to Exeter.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17356433191383783293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034683570321410224.post-67434448345095902922011-05-03T18:55:54.166+01:002011-05-03T18:55:54.166+01:00I just love that image of the Thames and Pimlico!
...I just love that image of the Thames and Pimlico!<br /><br />My April as far as reading goes wasn't spectacular. I read a book that tanked a bit at the end and my Brookner read went even worse than that. BUT, The Tortoise and the Hare is wonderful! I just wish there weren't quite so many distractions at the moment so I could just finish.<br /><br />Alexander McCall Smith is on my 'author to discover' list. Glad you enjoy his books so much.Darlenehttp://www.rosesoveracottagedoor.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3034683570321410224.post-41929923089491107932011-05-02T09:23:45.269+01:002011-05-02T09:23:45.269+01:00Ooh - looking forward to seeing you read more Corn...Ooh - looking forward to seeing you read more Cornish books!verityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16825551404394913715noreply@blogger.com
