poppy Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 The Girl Who Saved The King Of Sweden by Jonas Jonasson By the same author as The Hundred Year Old Man Who Climbed Out The Window and Disappeared, and equally enjoyable. Jonasson's eccentric characters and satirical humour are a delight to read. He has a wonderful imagination and his stories take lots of unlikely and surprising twists and turns. I hope he writes more! *** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poppy Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) (a while since I've caught up here) The Thoughts and Happenings of Wilfred Price Purveyor of Superior Funerals by Wendy Jones A fairly simple story but a little quirky and quite charming, I really enjoyed it. There is a sequel I'd like to read The World Is A Wedding. ** Don't Let Me Go by Katherine Ryan Hyde A heart-warming and endearing story ** The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde Saw this play when I was at school, but have never read it until now. As funny as I remembered. ** Major Benjy by Guy Fraser-Sampson One of the Mapp and Lucia stories, although written by a different author. This could very easily have been written by E.F Benson, the original author of the Mapp and Lucia books, the humour and writing are very much the same. I love these books, pure escapism, but very funny and wonderful characters. ** ½ Edited September 25, 2014 by poppy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
