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.
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.
You are very sweet to not foist tomatoes on me KB. I appreciate it!
I not only want to live in Three Pines, I want to open a bookstore or maybe paint or sculpt or something. I love the way she writes about art. Maybe the Bistro needs a dumpling supplier.
My Goodreads email this morning tempted me with super sales of NYT Bestsellers this morning so I exercised self control and only purchased 4 Nook books from new to me authors. $2.99 each! Today Only! If you get Goodreads emails you will see the offering.
Two of them are #1 in series. It is a comforting thing for me to read series because I don't like the feeling of never seeing interesting characters again.
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.
Also how I remember her. I have a specific memory of the family leaving her a note asking her to dust. She wasn't sure what they meant, then found the "dusting powder", so she liberally dusted it on everything.
