Small and the Mighty: Twelve Unsung Americans Who Changed the Course of History, from the Founding to the Civil Rights Movement | Sharon McMahon

1. It changes! At the moment it‘s The Change by Garth Brooks.
2. One of the people profiled in this book is Katharine Lee Bates, who wrote the poem that became America the Beautiful. All four verses. She made $5 for the original submission and subsequently gave away copies for free.

@TheSpineView (thanks for the tag! 😘)

1. I can't pick just one #1 song, but there is no doubt about my favorite #1 album: George Winston's AUTUMN, which I play ad nauseam this time of year.
2. For the tagged book, the only song I can think of is CRYING by Roy Orbison. Am I right, #hashtagbrigade? 😂

Play? @TheLudicReader @TheBookHippie @mcctrish

mcctrish Absolutely nailed the theme song 😭😭😭 22h

ReadingRachael I love George Winston‘s album “December.” I like to play it while decorating the tree. It‘s my favourite Christmastime album. 13h

dabbe @ReadingRachael His Christmas album and A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS album are my two favorite holiday albums. They're pretty much all I listen to! 🤩 12h

I hope I'm not too late to play this
2/ City and It's Uncertain Walls - what a brilliant title, just caught my eye, so I'm intrigued
1/ that would be a room with ambient lighting, a fire going on the background, the one that crackles, coffee and a stack of books, yeah, a nice dream 😂 reality where ever I can fit it in

Eggs Love #1 📖 🔥 📚 2d

@TheSpineView (thanks for the tag! 💛🤎🧡)

1. I love to plan and make lists. Actually performing the lists, though ... well, that's another story entirely. 😂
2. If you want to read an early Gothic novel where everything (at least so far) just happens to our heroine while she weeps unendingly, then this is the book for you! 😄

If you read all of this, you're 🔖!

Nancy Drew 13: The Mystery of the Ivory Charm | Carolyn Keene

This post contains spoilers

show me

2. Let's talk plot. What did you think of the story? Personally, I felt it was a bit convoluted! The lost son of a maharaja? A traveling circus and a house that was converted for circus acts? A woman who appears to go into trances? So strange to me!

Any standout moments for you while reading? #NancyDrewBR

BarkingMadRead Yes! So many weird things that didn‘t seem to totally connect. That house was bizarre 2w

Bookwormjillk There was a lot going on here interspersed with random meals. We just stole some papers, let's have a picnic! And a random lunch with the first lady. And they never did explain why the house was set up for circus practice did they. And at one point Nancy was tied up but still managed to point to the bad guy when the police came. 2w

DGRachel I agree with @BarkingMadRead - that house was bizarre. The other standout (and I don‘t know if this gets addressed in another question) was the fact that Rishi gets kidnapped and Nancy‘s all “oh no, I should be worried but there‘s a frat party this weekend and I want to go. How convenient that Ned can introduce me to an Indian man. Maybe he has a clue.” RISHI IS MISSING GIRL AND HE WAS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY! 2w

BarkingMadRead @DGRachel omg yes! That whole frat thing was insane, and the necklace just happens to get stolen from her while she‘s there, because obviously every other Indian in the states knows each other 🤣 2w

Bookwormjillk @DGRachel yes!! 2w

Librarybelle @DGRachel @BarkingMadRead How could I forget that! The boy is missing, and you want to have fun, Nancy??? Really?!? And yes, the necklace is stolen while she is sleeping at the college, which was a way too convenient coincidence??? So weird! 2w

CogsOfEncouragement Yeah, wasted paragraphs telling us about them driving here or there again and again instead of something exciting happening or some detail better explained. 2w

kwmg40 I found the plot convoluted and unbelievable. Had to really suspend disbelief for this one! 2w

MariaW I thought the plot would be okay if it was placed in India or any nearby country and the characters were Indian natives. But being placed in the USA in a small town like River Heights and surroundings was very unlikely. And why would Mrs Allison help to set up an impostor in small, unknown region in Insia? It seemed like they ran out of ideas for the novels. 🙈 2w

DebinHawaii And on the Rishi kick—so you leave him with the professor who had a head wound/likely concussion & went up to “sleep it off” after being given stimulants by Nancy & Ned? Umm… that seems like a great plan! 😵‍💫 2w

Ruthiella Agree with everyone that this one was banana pants! 2w

Laughterhp This book was all over the place. Like every single person from India knew each other? 2w

dabbe @kwmg40 That's pretty much exactly what I wrote for question #1! 😂 2w

dabbe The writing was just ... horrible. And I don't know why this thought sticks with me, but at some point Nancy does her usual call-up-the-cousins-to-come-with-her-on-an-adventure bit, and something was written like “Bess had to act in a child's play and couldn't go.“ I'm like 😳? No link to the story whatsoever, and what was the point? So much of the writing was like that. 2w
