Welcome to Litsy!

#ReadAway2024 #SeriesLove2024 Book 3 of this delightful historical mystery series is extremely entertaining. Amelia is as strong-willed and independent as ever. Emerson is irascible and soft-hearted, as curious as Amelia, and dotes on his son. Ramses is finally old enough to accompany them to Egypt on his first dig and is extremely precocious. “The Cat Bastet,” as she is called, plays a vital role in solving the mystery.

While I am always delighted to visited Amelia and Emerson, this isn't my favorite of the series. Their son Ramses is, frankly, obnoxious. The mystery is a little shaky. And every ten pages we have to listen to Emerson expounding on why he's more intelligent than anyone who has ever believed in any religion. But outside of those annoyances, there is still so much to enjoy. The setting, the non-Ramses characters (in fairness, Ramses matures and ⬇

Always love some Peabody time

Took some scones to my aunts & grandmother today ❤️ my kids, my sister, & I all went to visit for her birthday & Mother‘s Day 💐 Perfect opportunity to listen to the tagged book while baking & on the long drive there & back again 🚙 #audiobaking

My new reading buddy! He's still shy and nervous, today is the first evening he joined me on the couch!

This is Ramses... @BookishMe 🐶❤️

Another entertaining Amelia Peabody mystery! The mystery was less interesting in this one, but the Emerson family relations and the adventure were very enjoyable.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I love these mysteries and they are even better as audiobooks! I will be making my way through all of Amelia Peabodys mysteries.

More fun times w/my fave Victorian Egyptologists! & now we‘re getting the intro of a MasterCriminal against whom Amelia can pit her wits. Plus, we have the addition of Ramses to this Egyptology party. Ramses is a bit/lot too precocious to be at all believable, but he is a fun addition to this crew. This mystery has our Egyptologists working on a less than desirable dig but they still find plenty of thievery, murder, & mayhem to keep them occupied.

Working on a re-read of this series for 2018, enjoying them all as much as I remembered the first time around.

I thought it was cool enough for the extended version of my walk, but not quite - taking refuge under this tree.

Starting a new audiobook - I had intended this to be my next read a few weeks ago, but my hold list got away from me and I had to listen to four unexpected holds first.

I'm trying out the Libby app rather than Overdrive for the first time. I don't think it will be my primary audiobook app until they bring the wish list feature into it. I use that all the time with Overdrive.

#marchintoreading #readandeat This great adventure goes well with a pain au chocolat and coffee 😁

This book was cute! It's purely a fluff kind of mystery, but I love Amelia and the series so far, and I can't wait to start the next one

Time to start a new book!

what better way to start this off than by sharing my little collection of Victorian lady adventurers in Egypt? #ladyadventurers #fantasticladies #victorianliterature
