And we're off! Vintage crime at home and abroad - for the #1949Club! kaggsysbookishramblings.wordpress.com/2026/10/12/v...

New on the blog today, I've written about LOVE IN A COLD CLIMATE by Nancy Mitford.

A delightful satire on the absurdities of the English upper classes, shot through with Mitford's trademark combination of humanity & wit. My contribution to the #1949Club 💙📚

If you’re not sure what #1949Club is all about, it’s easy to join in.

Just read a book first published in 1949, then post something about it online (e.g. on Bluesky, Insta or wherever you talk about books).

The Club runs from 12th-18th Oct, so share your thoughts during that week! #BookSky 💙📚

New on the blog today, some reading recommendations for the forthcoming #1949Club hosted by @kaggsy59.bsky.social & @stuckinabook.bsky.social.
