This week’s topic are those books I call “The Something, something life of somebody somebody.” Here are some of the ones I’ve read and enjoyed. So many had to be ignored! Mr. Rosenbaum Dreams in English, The Secret Life of Mrs. London, Bill Warrington’s Last Chance, Entertaining Mr. Pepys, Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage,–so many more even! I had to include Bridget Jones so I picked my favorite of the books.
My Reviews
Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman

The Likely Resolutions of Oliver Clock by Jane Riley

Miss Pettigew Lives for the Day by Winifred Watson

I hope we both really enjoy it. Let me know what you think of the audio version…I currently have the hardback from the library languishing on my shelf 😉

I love this list Lisa. I have read a couple but have several on my TBR. I love when these posts remind me of something I wanted to read but have forgotten about.

I was spoiled for choice too just using the books in my classics club list. Decided it would take me too much time to make decisions so opted out this week. You chose some good ones though

I thought my list was pretty comprehensive, but somehow I missed putting Miss Pettigrew and Mr. Biswas or even Bridget Jones on my list!
