I did that this past week with Island Magic by Elizabeth Goudge. My paper back copy fell apart in my hands as I read it...And it was a hard copy to find! I nearly panicked when I found myself reading page 156 and the next page was 174 but found the missing pages tucked into another portion of the book. My heart sank when I noticed the missing pages, but I would have gone on and read it anyway if they had been lost!terricheneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06865436021565986224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-2722120322097034212014-01-19T14:03:56.561-05:002014-01-19T14:03:56.561-05:00I didn't know Anne O. pasted away- I have a co...I didn't know Anne O. pasted away- I have a couple of her books I really liked her. <br />The Journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00548666978419775758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-60958390315354903752014-01-17T20:37:47.966-05:002014-01-17T20:37:47.966-05:00Thank you for sharing about Anne Ortlund.

There is a Mennonite book store I go to that has lots of old, used books.

She also wrote Coming Home which is just as good-great book about an aristocratic family in WW 2 Cornwall. Pilcher is a wonderful writer and you really feel like you are right there in the story. I like that her characters are not fully good nor fully bad, just like all of us in real life.Mary M.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-89094414526094837952014-01-17T18:47:03.662-05:002014-01-17T18:47:03.662-05:00Was this the first time you read Shell Seekers?

They did a good job, except they tweaked the ending a tad bit. Have you seen it? I don't know if it's still available. Anyway, how nice to sit and read all afternoon! I did that with Winter Solstice on a very quiet New Year's Day, as I wanted to finish it before the Holidays were over! I like your tea cozy. Makes for a dreamy afternoon: a pot of tea and a good book! Hope you get to feeling better soon!<br />Hugs,<br />Laura C. from WA stateAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-80539783453667977372014-01-17T18:42:30.072-05:002014-01-17T18:42:30.072-05:00Hi Brenda;

How wonderful to spend an afternoon lost in a book, especially with Rosemund Pilcher! It was so good for you, and your organizational feats accomplished much. One question tho, you didn't put the tea cozy away for good, did you? Looking forward to your next post! Its like a visit with a good friend.

I wish that I could sit long enough to read a book in one sitting anymore. There hasn't been a book grab me that way in forever.

It's been a long time since I've done that, but it's such a pleasant treat when it does happen. Making my way, slowly, through The Shell Seekers, but enjoying it.
