Peony commented on Magp13's review of Say Hello to Mr. Wallaby! 1
This is such a sweet heartwarming and funny read, following along the sincere absurdity of a Wallaby substitute teaching in Japan. It’s a very earnest look at the country and offers an entry guide to some aspects of Japanese culture, mostly from a food related perspective. Very sweet storyline and I’m curious to see what hijinks happen next!
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC! (I know the emoji is a kangaroo, there is no wallaby emoji 🥲)

Peony commented on Peony's review of The Wintringham Mystery
I loved this! I really have fallen for Anthony Berkeley books this year, his way of writing is just so wonderful and fun. This was definitely a character peice, the mystery was a little all over the place though I enjoyed the ending and solution. The characters were fun, lively and fleshed out enough that you really got to enjoy them. I can't believe I didn't read this earlier.

I’m only starting to connect the names with their careers/characteristics so it’s only starting to get less confusing. Should I read it all again from the very beginning or just carry on? I feel like I was just confused for the most part at the start…

Hi everyone, Due to a few factors i have decided to update this quest to also include books from the 1960s. While this quest will still mainly focus on Golden age crime, other crime novels are also important and should be included in this quest. This will not be an immediate add on but soon. If anyone has any suggestions for books it would be much appreciated, i have a few in mind already.
