I was disappointed when I realised this was only a sample. However, I loved it and it whetted my appetite for the full length novel, which I have no preordered. I can’t wait to read it! I love this series!!

Promising but only got one chapter so no idea if the slightly jolly hockey sticks style might grate.

Excuse me, where is the rest of the book?! I need to know immediately what's going to happen! I love the series and need it to be delivered ASAP, especially after reading this morsel of deliciousness. It's like coming back to see your friends bit not being able to hear the whole gossip!

So disappointed this was only a chapter but then again, it was so great that I can’t wait to read the rest of it, so job done! As a fan of the previous books this latest instalment looks to be equally as good. Thanks NetGalley!

Enjoyed the first chapter and shall look forward to the rest of the book. As it is only a taster, it’s difficult to judge how it will go, but a few ideas have been set up that have set the scene for what is to come.

This first chapter was a real tease! I’ve loved AJ Pearce’s previous two books, and was thrilled to see that a third is on it’s way. Mrs Porter calling has all our beloved characters, with a problem emerging in this first chapter. What will happen to the house that Emmy has been living in? I really cannot wait to see what happens!

Great taster chapter, can’t wait for the rest to be fully immersed into this well drawn and familiar setting!

A very entertaining and well written book, a good addition to an excellent series.
This teaser made me wish I could read the rest of the book soon.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

A really lovely intro chapter - refamiliarized with the characters and made me excited for the rest of the book!!

I didn’t realise there was going to be a 3rd book in this wonderful series, but I’m so excited there is! A delicious taster of what’s to come - fingers crossed I get to read the arc very soon.

I thoroughly enjoyed the first two books in this series and it was tantalising to get even a small taste of what is in store in this new one. Such great historical fiction with wonderful, warm and fun characters.

Absolutely brilliant can't wait to read the rest a 5 star read
This is a first class author, who keeps you totally amused

Always a delight going back to the world of Emmy and her friends. This was just the first chapter so there was not much set up for the story, but it's a comfort read and it felt like I was in a lovely bucolic BBC production despite the WW2 setting. Ready for the full book.

Well this little snippet was a treat. It was great to be back with Emmy and Bunty again. It has really got me excited to continue and get to know what happens next

I only just discovered Emmy and her gang of friends and already I’m counting down the days until the release of the third book in this series.

If you haven’t already read Dear Mrs Bird and Cheerfully Yours then I urge you to do so, you won’t be disappointed, they are a delight

Love, love, love the start of this new book in the Mrs Bird series! Having revelled in Dear Mrs Bird and Yours Cheerfully, I cannot wait to read this new book to find out what happens next. The author's writing is so warm and engaging, the characters spring into life on the page. You feel like they could become friends. The depth of research underpinning the writing is clear in the descriptions of everyday life on the home front and really adds to the overall story. This looks like another winner! Cannot wait to read more!
