Just finished A Birthday Lunch and The Chocolate War, two shorter Bruno, Chief of Police stories-- both quite enjoyable, if really teasers because what I really want is the new novel, but that won't be out until June or July. Then, given that I was doing shorter works, I figured it was time to dig fairly far down my TBR to read Good-bye Mr. Chips, by James Hilton. I have, of course, seen the 1939 movie version, but I'd never read it, and it seemed time. Quite enjoyed.
