ReplyDeleteI'd forgotten about The 7 1/2 Deaths, but now I want to read it even more. It was on my list, then forgotten. I also should try Johnstone since I read several westerns last year and enjoyed them. :)
ReplyDeleteJohnstone has written a ton of books. I've only read a few, but I've liked them. And they're always humorous. And The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle turned out to be a really good read. Of course, it took me forever to get around to reading it! ;D
DeleteThe 7 1/2 deaths is one that I must get around to at some stage as it sounds intriguing.

DeleteNicely put, as usual, these always make me smile a little.
ReplyDeleteI must be the only reader in America who failed to get into the 7 1/2 Deaths novel...lasted about 50 pages only. Can't even remember why, now.
If you're like me, there are some books you just have to be in the right mood to read. And if you're not in the right mood, they just don't work for you. It happens to me a lot, even with books everyone else seems to love. :-)
DeleteOh, the 7 1/2 Deaths has my attention now! Especially with your 5 stars! I've been wondering about William Johnston since I see a lot of his books on Netgalley. Glad to see you enjoyed it. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rachel. Both books were fun. :)

ReplyDeleteThat's my bookish mantra when it comes to so many books. "One of these days!" ;D
