The post My last blog post – but wait, there’s more! first appeared on Any Shiny Thing - Life after 50.

"*sigh* Ohhh...the disappointment. I'm well aware my opinion is going to be an unpopular and rare one. But, oh, this was so not what I was expecting or wanting out of this book. My least favorite part of any sequel is the the recap. Yes, I understand "

Hi Ina, I haven't actually been active in that group for over a year, but you might contact its founder, a woman by the name of Claude Nougat. Here is a link to her page, and best wishes. https://www.goodreads.com/ClaudeNougatLynne

Hi Lynne. Thanks for asking me to be your bookfiend. Oops I wrote book fiend instead of friend. Well we are both are we not? ;) Now I must find what I wrote for your review of an Olivia Goldsmith book. I am very forgetful and very curious. nosy?
Hi Lynne - I would like to recommend a book to you - "Old Filth" - it is about a lawyer (Failed In London Tried Hongkong = F I L T H) - this book is equally as good as Harold Fry AND the amazing thing about the book is that Jane Gardam has written the 'same' story again in a book called The Man in the Wooden Hat - this is written from the perspective of an enemy of Old Filth's there is a 3rd book in the series - I GUARANTEE if you read Old Filth then The Man in the Wooden Hat (which I read in 2 sittings) you will love them (I think the Hat is Better than Old Filth) I am just about to order the 3rd book from the library. Best wishes from Beryl
