Oh my goodness, this sounds wonderful. Onto the TBR it goes!

(And it’s awesome you don’t let books linger longer than 5 years – I’m guilty of that in a few instances, despite weeding the TBR. Just a few, though!)

Sparkly snuggle hearts! I love it! Will keep this in mind should the need for them arise 🙂

Haha, I don’t know exactly what books you’d categorize as sparkly snuggle hearts, but it seems like a perfect descriptor for heartwarming, comfort reads. I like your idea of removing books from your to-read list after a certain time limit! I try to remove things periodically, but haven’t been taking into account date added.

In reply to Priscilla Walter. Did you post about it? Cause I can add a link! I am sure I saw your post at the time if you wrote about it, and just didn't make a note because six or seven years ago I was far more careless than now. :p

In reply to helen (a gallimaufry). Hahahahaha, the main failing here is not that you didn't make that purchase (because you'll get another chance, I'm sure!) but that you ever let yourself believe there was such a thing as "too many" comfort books. NOT A THING HELEN.

The last time I was in Britain I saw this in a charity bookshop and my hand hovered and then I thought,’No Helen, you are reading far too many “comfort books” at the moment, it is time to start reading meatier fare’ and now I see this was a Bad Decision bother bother bother.

I read this about six or seven years ago and absolutely loved it! I’m very happy to hear you enjoyed it.

Yesss, TBR clearance feels so good! And I’m glad this turned out to be a fun read. I’m definitely craving those right now.

I really loved this when I read it! Charming is exactly the word. And I am all for a comfort read, particularly in these times with these relentless problems. Unfortunately, I haven’t found the books Eva Rice has written since to be as delightful as this one. But hey, at least there’s this one. Your reviews always make me smile, Jenny!
