Two books read over the weekend; Jill, The Lone Guide by Ethel Talbot 
was written in the 1930s I think. It was really interesting as the girl couldn’t go to a local unit due to distance – 6 miles! Anyway she was a trooper and didn’t let that get her down or the run of bad luck she suffered instead with a song in her heart and positive thought she turned it round to a wonderful happy ending where everything not only worked out but was tied up with a pretty bow! It’s a great read and talks about a unit of Sea Guides and how although a lone she surrounded by all the girls who are members of the organisation.
Lone Guides still exit (in fact I’m a Lone Guider for Senior Section in Scotland) find out more here.
The second book was the third in the Heather Wells Mystery series by Meg Cabot – Size Doesn’t Matter (aka Big Boned in the USA.)
It was fun – another murder in the halls leave ex-pop star Heather trying hard not to get involved but being dragged in anyway. Away from the job her latest man is keen for her to get healthy and convinces her to go jogging before work. Funny and fun it was very enjoyable and although I had worked out who committed the murder sooner than Heather I sure didn’t see the reason.
