Book #12 in the Hidden Norfolk series. It‘s funny how most of the series has a double murder, with the second related to the first. This was another good one.

Good morning, everyone! The moment you have all been waiting for!! Our official #BookSpin number is TWELVE! Our official #DoubleSpin number is ONE!! I have thoroughly enjoyed looking at everyone‘s lists & am really looking forward to seeing your reviews!!

My next post will be the #BookSpinBingo card. I am NOT tagging anyone on that post!! If you want to bingo, please just check my profile for the card. This saves me having to double tag ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont‘d) everyone/keep track of who wants to bingo and who doesn‘t!!

I use the same tag list for the entire year, so if you would like to be added or removed, please just let me know. It takes me a while to tag everyone (there are over 200 of you!!!) so I will add “FINISHED” to the last tag batch so you know whether or not I missed you. If I did, it was completely inadvertent. Sometimes I just spell someone‘s username wrong. ⬇

Finished #12 last night for #NancyDrewBR this was on my #HauntedShelf TBR & really, the cover is the spookiest thing about this one. Nancy ends up going to Illinois to a college archeology dig site to solve a centuries-old mystery that a bunch of professional detectives couldn‘t solve because she‘s Nancy Drew. This one was fine, probably not my favorite but ⬇️

DebinHawaii …good. There is only one knock to Nancy‘s noggin from a cookie tin, involving a goat but it doesn‘t seem concussion-worthy so I‘m not sure whether we should add it to the Nancy Noggin Knockout counter or #NNK 🤷🏻‍♀️ but feel free to vote here in you think it should be included. 😉
Using this for the BookScavengerHunt #Dark prompt & I‘m still figuring out points but including it in the tagged readathons. Go Team #Flerken !💀

Book #12 in the ND series did not disappoint, though get ready to suspend your disbelief. When NYC detectives can't find treasure missing in a hollow oak in Illinois buried by a missionary, Nancy is given the case due to her aunt knowing one of the detectives. If you've ever heard the words “Indian burial ground“, then you get the idea. Only one #nogginknockout for Nancy that I found, and that was due to a goat's passion for cookies. #NancyDrewBR

I picked up my library hold on the tagged book which finally came in on Saturday & also grabbed some Hawaii speculative fiction stories & Nancy Drew #12 for #NancyDrewBuddyRead

At the library bookstore 1/2-off sale I got The Library Book (which is on my #TBR), 2 seasonal cozies (1 for #HauntedShelf ) & our #ChildrensClassicRead2024 October pick The Witch of Blackbird Pond for the grand total of $3.50 so that‘s a win! 📚 The book🐔🐔approve! 😉

Jael Furyck doesn‘t want a husband. Eadmund Skalleson doesn‘t want another wife. As the rival kings scheme, an ancient darkness emerges from the shadows threatening to destroy Jael, Eadmund, and everyone they love.

This was a pretty good story. A little longer than I expected it to be. I may eventually continue the series.

The Furyck Saga Book 1

Mehso-so

This was okay. This woman goes in a journey to find the golden beetle which at the end is a way to discover herself. Characters and situations seem not realistic and situations were ridiculous. You still have some funny parts and quotes to think about but in general not a great story for me. The gifts in this box were neither great or practical. 3⭐️

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 3mo

Book #12 in the Glass & Steele series. I felt like a lot happened in this one. I don‘t want to give any spoilers, but know that Matt & India are quite the team. They also have the best ‘family‘ around them.

Oh my goodness! I had a roller-coaster of emotions with this book. At first, I thought I didn't like it because there was so much negativity, and I wanted to shake some sense into the MC. But then I found myself yelling, laughing, and especially crying as the book came together at the end. Oh, the end! I ugly cried in the car as I drove home from work. 5⭐️
