Definitely Miss Benson's Beetle was not up to the level of Harold Frye and or Queenie Hennessy and as I shared, Miss Benson took a bit of suspending logic to make it work. ...but it was a sweet read.
Someone had recommended Stupid Things I Won't Do When I Get Old. It was ok but I didn't find it overly enlightening. I did like a few of the chapters more in the beginning and I ended up skipping a few as well.
I am starting the Invisible Life of Addie Larue. So far , very good. (but it's a long one so I hope it keeps me).

Hi Mayvenne,
Did you happen to read "The Music Shop" by Rachel Joyce? It was my favorite one by her, even more so than Harold Frye and Queenie Hennessy.
Interestingly, I too, have "The Invisible Life of Addie Larue" in my stash from my most recent library visit. I'm hoping it's a winner!
Thank you, CA4now (get outta there girl!!! CA that is).
A friend's mother gave me this book. She recently passed away. Inside the front cover was a greeting card that she, or someone, had bought, I guess, with a 'painting' of a goldfinch. I will treasure this forever.
I see you noted in the other thread that there was a movie. I saw that on Netflix but Hubs never wanted to watch it. Now that I have the book, I will watch it when I'm done with the book. The book is always better. Funny, too, becuase I think Nicole Kidman is the mother in the movie and as I started the book I was picturing her as the Mom.
Just finished "Four Winds"by Kristen Hannah. Excellent.
