I can get hold of The Brandons which is the next in the Barsetshire series.

I would be looking at a start date of 20th of June, but I can be flexible on that. :)

Susan in NC (susanncreader) | 2069 comments Absolutely, I’ve got my used copy at hand The Brandons by Angela Thirkell ! June 20th is fine for me.

OK I think that is enough interest. Anyone else - feel free to join in. :)

I'll make the starting date the 20th of June! :)

Abigail Bok (regency_reader) Cool!

Jackie | 639 comments the book is "in transit" to my library so the timing is perfect; this will be a first read for me.

Susan in NC (susanncreader) | 2069 comments Oh, Jackie, lucky lady, hope you enjoy it! ;)

Barb in Maryland | 674 comments I picked up my library copy today--so I am ready.
I've had a mixed reaction to other books by Thirkell (liked some, DNFd others). I'm hoping that I like this one. The excerpts I've read have been very interesting.

Jackie | 639 comments I really enjoyed it: read a chapter or two of the 3D book and then I'd listen to those chapters with the audio book. Really appreciated hearing the dialog after I already knew what was going on.

Teri-K I've read this before and quite liked it, so I'd love to join in and reread it with you.

Susan in NC (susanncreader) | 2069 comments I’ve been enjoying my reread, it has been years for me! I love the audiobook, too, Jackie, I chuckle quietly to myself reading Thirkell’s dialogue, but last night, listening to the audiobook, I guffawed out loud a few times! ;)

Jackie | 639 comments The audio book adds so much! And not just because I don't hear the correct accents when I'm reading to myself.
