Barb!!!!
Between Here and Gone just showed up in my BookBub feed!
You're the second person I know to have a book show up there. The first was one I actually edited when Drollerie Press was up and running.
How's it sit? Pretty cunning, don'tchya think?

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I'm reading The Atlantis Gene right now (well, listening on my commute). It's basically the book version of a popcorn movie complete with Nazis.
I'm going to have to find another audiobook soon and I don't think I'll be going to the second book in that series. Probably go with Cloudbound since I listened to Updraft.

Why has no one mentioned Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle? The Hilary Knight illustrations were a gateway to graphic novels for me.

I read Mres. Piggle-Wiggle! I am not actually able to remember a thing other than the existence of the name at the moment, all details that are coming to mind I must view with suspicion as I am terribly prone to conflation, especially with anything from my childhood. So unreliable, memory. But Mrs Piggle-Wiggle is a positive one.
Continuing my Louise Penny Immersion Program, mostly by audiobook since that seems to be what my library has available. I love the way Ralph Cosham-as-Gamache says "Perhaps". And Ruth Zardo has become my life goal, without the awards, probably.

I mainlined those books. Want more. They were like Reese's pieces for me.

There's one available for pre-order, I believe...

I actually own ex-library copies of Mrs Piggle Wiggle. They're in with Narnia and Half Magic.
also: Hi -t! I won't give you ANY of the tomatoes I'm planting this summer. Cause I remember you don't like 'em at all.

Because books.
I loved Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle! And Amelia Bedelia, too. *On further inspection, that seems wrong -- I'm remembering her as a sort of daft, funny housekeeper, and that's not what I'm seeing. Hmm.
Did anyone else read Understood Betsy? That was a favorite. And my mom's old copy of The Five Little Peppers and How They Grew.

My mom *loves* Gamache. I have the first one on my Kindle, and keep meaning to start it. I need a new mystery series, since Deborah Crombie is my only remaining one, and she's just one book a year now.
I miss the days when I hadn't yet discovered Anne Perry. Two lengthy series, no waiting. Good times.

I adore her stuff. It's just so beautifully written. I want to live in Three Pines.
