August read?

[Mark Pghfan]

I don't have any suggestions just yet, but any ideas for an August read?

[Nicole]

I'd still like to read a Wimsey or two. Did everyone get the book?

[PugMom]

I have it.

[Mark Pghfan]

I have the book of short stories as well.

I was wondering if for the August read and last month of summer '19, should we pick a title that celebrates the last of summer or look to start welcoming fall with a mystery of like backdrop?

I wouldn't know where to look LOL That might take a bit of research.

Wimsey's good as any and most seem up for it. If that's the pick for August, so shall it be. :-)

NicoleG, though I read a summer title taking place at a B&B and wanted a revisit, it may be hard to find copies. And as we're closing up July (came quickly) Wimsey short stories would fit nicely this late in the month.

I suggest two stories from the Lord Peter collection. The first is a longish story, The Undignified Melodrama of the Bone of Contention. It is the longest story in the book, and I thought there would be more to sink our teeth into. The second is Talboys, the final story. It tells us a bit about Lord Peter in his days after he marries Harriet Vane.

Open to other thoughts, though!

I'm good with August lineup.

[PugMom]

Sounds good. I can start reading Friday or Saturday.

[Nicole]

Works for me! I'm eager to dig into my new Lord Peter book!!! :-)

[Mark Pghfan]

If you want, I can host, starting with The Undignified Melodrama of the Bone of Contention, on Monday. Will that suit?

[Tina]

Thanks, Pghfan!

That’s perfect! Thanks, Mark! 📚🔍😀
