    Oh, Gina! What a perfect reading chair! I have read 3 of the Beatrix Potter Tales and love them. ALWAYS have to put on a hold list because our library has very few and not in order, which I prefer to read. I have Rose Cottage and I can't remember which of those 2 Barbara Pym bks. Have 4/5 of hers. I ordered 2 Marcia Willet bks. and Jen( Jen Reads) said she did not like those particular 2. When I find them, 😋😂I'll let you know. Want to read the Agatha Christie's you mentioned. I've heard of Tommy and Tuppance; but don't know what they are. Are they an older series of hers? I REALLY WANT TO GET the No Fear Shakespeare bks. I'd like to find them used to save money, as well as lots of other bks. Very few used bookstores here or the area that I know of. There are some in Detroit, but don't have a friend who would go w/ me. They're all chicken. Detroit has changed so much! LOTS of cool, fun places to go, but can't get anyone to go w/ me. No fun by oneself and I am usually by myself. My one friend who is usually up for ANYTHING (and most fun), lives in Georgia. We don't see each other very often. There is a famous bookstore in Detroit called Kings; think it is all used. Many floors!!😁 This was just great Gina, thanks for sharing all🤗
