@AnneDigby1 Yes indeed! All the elements for a great read.

Remember Meg and Mog? Great to revisit old favourites, although this particular title is a new one for me. I love the way in which Mog’s eyes convey such a wide range of expressions.

@KateMallinder You are very welcome, Kate. Looking forward to checking out your other books...

[Leda Sammarco @LedaSammarco]

Just been to Weston-super-Mare with Agnes, Hattie and Jake, an unlikely trio, who are all hiding something. In ‘Asking for a Friend’ by @KateMallinder the story ebbs and flows between them, and is a delightful read about unexpected and true friendship.

[Leda Sammarco @LedaSammarco]

Yes indeed - this series is a delight. And, if you ask nicely, Mango might make you a banana pancake!

Could now be the perfect time for Ian to start his own brand of artisan foods, starting with the aforementioned wild garlic pesto? I’ll have two jars, please! @BBCTheArchers

‘Paris, it seems, was the beginning of letting go of who I was and grabbing hold of who I was to become.’ Absolutely loving ‘Paris Letters’ by @JaniceArtShip - a true story about following your creative heart. Merveilleux!

[Leda Sammarco @LedaSammarco]

‘Maybe the only thing I need to remember is my name, who I love, and what I love about life.’ Wise words from ‘chronic list-maker’ Quinn Jackson, in the very engaging ‘Excuse Me While I Ugly Cry’ by @joya_goffney

@sarahwebbishere You are very welcome 🙏 thanks for writing it. You really evoke a wonderful sense of place in these three books. Makes me want to visit Little Bird Island - it feels like a very nurturing place.

[Leda Sammarco @LedaSammarco]

This evening finds me on the tranquil island of Little Bird in West Cork with Aurora and a dolphin 🐬 called Click. Part of the delightful ‘Songbird Cafe Girls’ trilogy by @sarahwebbishere - btw, the cafe serves great hot chocolate and brownies - yes indeed!
