#BookBingo – Round 23
I Have a Bed Made of Buttermilk Pancakes by Jaclyn Moriarty
Lent to me by a friend at work, I Have a Bed Made of Buttermilk Pancakes was a novel I hadn’t even heard of. But I read Gravity is The Thing earlier this year and loved it and lending that led me to having this one lent to me. I love the book universe!

Truly original and so much fun with a fair bit of poignancy thrown into the mix. Jaclyn writes with an emphasis that jumps right off the page along with well-timed irony and plenty of humorous instances of stating the obvious – even if it is only with introspect. It is quintessentially Australian without any stereotypes and it dates very well – almost a classic in the making. At the heart of this novel is a mystery like no other and it amused me greatly once all the pieces of this charmingly puzzling book began to fall into place.

For 2019, I’m teaming up withMrs B’s Book Reviews and The Book Muse for an even bigger, and more challenging book bingo. We’d love to have you join us. Every second Saturday throughout 2019, we’ll post our latest round. We invite you to join in at any stage, just pop the link to your bingo posts into the comments section of our bingo posts each fortnight so we can visit you. If you’re not a blogger, feel free to just write your book titles and thoughts on the books into the comments section each fortnight, and tag us on social media if you are playing along that way.
