melody	Posted - Jun 09 2010 : 7:34:16 PM I picked this book up at a local thrift store this afternoon...I had a book by Sartre in one hand and this little gem--The Sweetness of at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley, in the other. Needless to say, I put Sartre down- Anyone else out there reading any of his books? I think Mr. Bradley is a wonderful author-I can't wait to start the next in this series called; The Weed that Stings the Hangman's Bag...

RaspberryBee	Posted - Jul 01 2010 : 7:32:29 PM If you 'love' reading the Flavia books see if your library has the books on tape/cd. The gal that reads them is marvelous...she becomes Flavia :-) Farmgirl Sister #918 I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself, than be crowded on a velvet cushion. -Henry David Thoreau-
melody	Posted - Jul 01 2010 : 5:22:39 PM You are going to LOVE the 2nd in the series called The Weed That Strings the Hangman's Bag----Just finished it two days ago. I am having so much fun reading Alan Bradley!! Flavia is of course one of my favorite characters, but I also like Dogger!! Bradley's 3rd book in the series will be out in 2011----can't wait- Melody Farmgirl #525 www.melodynotes-melodynotes.blogspot.com http://www.farmgirlhistory.blogspot.com/ www.lemonverbenasoap.etsy.com www.longtallsallys.etsy.com

michgirl	Posted - Jun 14 2010 : 07:43:41 AM I really liked it too. I was a little leery of such a young heroine, but really enjoyed the book!
melody	Posted - Jun 10 2010 : 5:41:36 PM Brenda...I picked it up yesterday and in between "chores" today I am almost finished. I think you will like these!

LakeOntarioFarmgirl	Posted - Jun 10 2010 : 5:28:38 PM I was at the library this morning.... I picked up Fast Food Nation, and told myself "no more books until that's done, and the 5 others sitting next to my bed, with no time to read them"!! Then I saw your post Melody, looked up Alan Bradley's website, then went to my library website to put both books on hold!!!!! :) They both look really good, thanks for the tip!

melody	Posted - Jun 10 2010 : 06:13:58 AM Alan Bradley's first novel described as wickedly brilliant. It's about an 11-year-old girl Flavis de Luce, an aspiring chemist with a passion for poison. It is the summer of 1950-and a series of inexplicable events has struck Buckshaw, the decaying English mansion that Flavia's family calls home. This is the 1st book in a series. I have already put in a bid on E-bay for the 2nd book called The Weed that Strings the Handman's Bag. Here is the author's website--- http://flaviafanclub.ning.com/ I can't put it down...it reminds me of Louise Fitzhugh's books about Harriet the Spy. I read those over and over when I was a girl.

graciegreeneyes	Posted - Jun 09 2010 : 7:39:47 PM I enjoyed this one Melody - somebody on this forum recommended it; I have my name on the list to check out the newest one at the library. I think I am number 42 in line so it might be just a bit - anyhow, a good read! Amy Grace Farmgirl #224 "use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without"
