I'm picky and read slowly, but I do love books. I love audiobooks and am so pleased to finally be a part of that world via librivox.org.

I'd say more but too many people "know" who I am, and that understanding has always been up for debate. (Even stranger is barely anyone gets in touch with me to ask.) ^_^

Got through three chapters today and the new protagonist Kiki seems to know what he is about except he's come across the Nome King who is up to NO good, as usual. (((sighs))) Oh dear, he'll get the little kid in major trouble, no doubt!

Chapter Six, getting through the jumble sale and someone had some issue with getting children's shoes and being told ALL shoes go through Mrs. Pringle first no matter what kind they were. Mrs. Partridge kept things calm and in order and was much admired for it. Good ol' Cordelia. and Joseph was given a ten penny piece to do something special but he said that he'd owe Miss Read a penny and she told him to keep it for luck which made him happy which made her happy.

Whatever the chapter was involved Amy's grand scheme of keeping a jar of dye near the door if she got knocked up by the flasher who is pestering people and urges her friend to do the same. My chap was giggling pretty good at the discussion about that. And Mrs. Pringle is gonna bottom the house in between times while Miss Read is at school.

Always a wonderful opening with what Mrs. Pringle enjoys which is the gloomier side of things, other peoples picadillos, a slap up funeral particularly when she knows what was inherited and who got it, that kind of opener. Mr. Willet still getting over his Christmas cold with a big red handkerchief with white spots on it. All is wonderfully mundane in Fairacre.
