My 4th #DeanStreetDecember and also 4th D.E. Stevenson: KATE HARDY (1947) https://t.co/G0njCGXyEm - not my favorite perhaps, but it's charming and witty, with a bit of mystery. @LyzzyBee_Libro @DeanStPress @FurrowedMiddle

Up on the blog today, my review of A WINTER AWAY (1957) by Elizabeth Fair for #DeanStreetDecember: https://t.co/7aKcldSH4d @DeanStPress @LyzzyBee_Libro

[Karun Pal @karunpal]

Introverts have a dark side. They keep it hidden. Their anger is slow, but once they reach boiling point, there is no controlling them. This is why they avoid conflict. An upset introvert is dangerous, unpredictable, and ruthlessly cold. Never push them. Ever.

Another review for #DeanStreetDecember, another wholesome read: NEAR NEIGHBOURS by Molly Clavering https://t.co/XVXBPZxbcq - loved everything about it, the characters, family interactions, the warmth and kindness that permeate throughout the story. @DeanStPress @LyzzyBee_Libro

My 1st review for #DeanStreetDecember is BABBACOMBE'S (1941) by Susan Scarlett https://t.co/wkaTUIifcE - a charming book, reminded me not a little of Zola's The Ladies Paradise! @LyzzyBee_Libro @DeanStPress
