There is so much I like and enjoy about this series: the characters, the mystery, the books.

But Nora does so many really stupid things, I just want to scream at her.

So: glad I borrowed it from the library.

Finished this one earlier in the week. # 7 in The Secret, Scone & Book Society series, it‘s a medium pick for me. I liked the mystery of Nora trying to find clues to find a miniature library in a crumbling house owned by a hoarding customer—sad & intriguing, but especially in the first half of the book, I was unhappy with Nora‘s actions & lack of communication with her friends & especially her partner. Eventually, ⬇️

DebinHawaii … she worked it out (although I‘d have been angrier with her if I was Sheriff Grant) & I was satisfied with the rest of the book. I like the friendships & bibliotherapy in this series & will keep reading it. 1mo

It‘s been a couple of weeks since I‘ve hung out at the coffee shop on a Saturday morning & it feels good to feel well enough to be back.💛

This morning I‘m reading the tagged book a bit, hopefully writing some #LitsyLove responses & I just tabulated my #HauntedShelf numbers for Team #Flerken. I thought I missed it.🤦🏻‍♀️Not a great showing for my final 2 weeks & I still need to do book reviews, but given illness & work pressures, I‘ll take it.

PuddleJumper You did great! Life interrupts reading sometimes. Annoyingly! 1mo

I didn‘t know there was a new Secret Book & Scone Society book. It‘s my new nighttime book. Folly Beach and the South Carolina aquarium on today‘s walks.

I love this series and this one was one of the best ones in the series. The strong, loving friendship of the four main women characters, the supporting characters, the bookstore, yummy treats to enjoy with coffee, the authors and books mentioned all add to the story.

Lucille dies mysteriously and leaves Nora clues to solve. This story gets more detailed along with Lucille‘s children into the world of books and literature.

Book 169.
