I have had that experience of deciding to donate books that I really liked and hoped to reread. When I do that I decide that someone else will get to enjoy them.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-803076591148810792023-12-14T15:43:13.973-08:002023-12-14T15:43:13.973-08:00I'd forgotten you had read the Annette Meyers ...I'd forgotten you had read the Annette Meyers series. I really enjoyed them and because I knew several people who were headhunters I gave out several copies of the first book. I think I recently made the difficult decision to donate my copies - I just wasn't sure I would ever have time to reread.CLMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03595294217111602231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-15511691188639086232017-12-14T13:09:48.366-08:002017-12-14T13:09:48.366-08:00Moira, in addition to Death Wears Pink Shoes, I al...Moira, in addition to Death Wears Pink Shoes, I also found out about The Clock Strikes Twelve by Patricia Wentworth at Clothes in Books. Liked it a lot and now eager to read more Miss Silver books. (As you probably know, she is not new to me but it has been a long time.)<br /><br />I did enjoy the Annette Meyers book but there are a few elements that bother me so don't know how many more I will read.

I read Annette Meyers back in the day, and could fancy either re-reading or trying a different one. This one sounds good, and doesn't sound familiar, though goodness knows what I read back in the 80s/90s.

I loved the book and thought it funny. I have THE DOOMSDAY BOOK tbr. I also have a bunch of Patricia Wentworth books so good to know the Ms. Silver series is worth reading still. Sounds like Sarah has hit the ground running with her series.

Wonderful stuff. Must get back to the Doomsday Book again.<br /><br />But wait, there's another story to add to your prep work before plunging into Blackout/All Clear. If you haven't already, check out Fire Watch, the short story that started it all, at the Oxford Time Travel Guide.<br />http://azsf.net/cwblog/?page_id=49<br /><br />Colin is such a hero.Susan Dhttp://dalyght.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-71149765669130890992017-12-04T12:53:08.446-08:002017-12-04T12:53:08.446-08:00I am also looking forward to Sarah's next book...I am also looking forward to Sarah's next book, Margot.
