    1. Oh, goooood! I thought I had read it, but now I’m not so sure! Sink Reflections is such a great title, but, this one is actually by the “Fly Lady”…about home keeping help! 😂😬 I need some refreshers and inspiration for habits to keep things running. 🫣🤔

  2. Hi Amy, I’m re-reading the Barchester series by Anthony Trollope & am up to Doctor Thorne. I do enjoy Trollope’s writing. I’m also reading a couple of biographies and N.T. Wright’s ‘After You Believe’ which I’ve only just started after my eldest son recommended it. I had a long wait at the dentist earlier in the week so took an E.C.R Lorac book with me – The Two-Way Murder, which was great so I ended up finishing it the next day.
    I liked Hannah Coulter after jettisoning Jayber Crow a few years ago. 🙂

      1. I want to read I Cheerfully Refuse sometime!

        Also, I can’t believe you didn’t want to finish Jayber! We should chat about that sometime.

        Also! I haven’t read any Anthony Trollope!

      2. I’m thinking of reading Cheerfully in August! Wanna join me and two other friends, possibly? On Voxer? I struggle with Berry’s fiction, maybe I should have persevered?! 😂 I’d love to hear your thoughts! 💭

        I’d read Trollope with you! Barchester Towers is a second in a series.
