I did not realize we got to Opar so early in the series!

THE RETURN OF Tarzan | EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS

Tarzan soothes a broken heart by… becoming a French spy? Lots of fun when ERB isn‘t being racist.

Hey #BobWhiteBuddies !!! Quick question - do we want to skip December and pick up in January with The Happy Valley Mystery, or are we good to read Happy Valley in December? I'm fine either way, but I know this time of year can get overwhelming, so just let me know what you think!!

⬇ ⬇

TheAromaofBooks Also, I have a tiny (like envelope-sized) present I would love to send to each of you because it's PERFECT 😂 I have everyone's addresses except Beth, Chelle, and Lora. If you could please email me your addresses at itsthegoodlife15 at gmail OR just let me know that you don't care to share your address which is 100% fine 😁

I'll be back next week to chat about The Black Jacket Mystery!!

lauraisntwilder Skipping sounds good to me, but I'll fit it in, if the rest of the group wants to keep going. 1mo

BookmarkTavern I‘m good either way! It would be a nice short read for #WinterGames , but I‘m happy to do either. 1mo
DebinHawaii I‘m fine either way—whatever the group wants to do. 1mo
Read4life I don‘t know if I‘ll be home from caring for my father in law in time to read it (my copy is at home) so I‘d prefer to skip December but completely understand if the group wants to continue. 1mo
curiouserandcurioser @TheAromaofBooks im good with what everyone decides:) 1mo
BethM Skipping seems good to me! 1mo
DebinHawaii @TheAromaofBooks So did we decide to skip? Just putting together my December TBR. 3w
TheAromaofBooks @DebinHawaii - I think the consensus seems to be skip. I've been planning to post the Black Jacket discussion post all day and also update the December reading schedule, but it's suppertime and hasn't happened yet 😂 But I think skip December and we'll be back in January!! 3w
DebinHawaii @TheAromaofBooks Sounds good! Thanks. (And my days are usually like that too!) 😂 3w

3✨ As the last book in the series I don‘t want to say much about what is happening in this book. As a series it was funny, each book featured one of the agents and it all wrapped up nicely by the end of this book. #SeriesLove #TeamFlurken #HauntedShelves

TheSpineView Great job! 💜📖📚 2mo

Tomb of the Sun King | Jacquelyn Benson

In this second in series, we have a change of scenery as Ellie and Adam have traveled to Egypt in an effort to find a holy relic before a ruthless gang of antiquity art thieves, the same nefarious group from their prior adventure. We are introduced to Ellie's archaeologist brother Neil (Adam's best friend) on the fateful dig, and Constance (Ellie's best friend) who's along for the ride and trying to avoid her matchmaking mother.

robinb I really enjoyed this one! Lots of action, lots of historical detail, and lots of romance. However, I was a bit confused/surprised by the intensity of the romance from the very beginning of the story. I was not expecting that judging from the ending of the previous adventure. I'm not complaining (I love Adam and Ellie's chemistry/banter, and it was definitely on showcase here), it just took a little change of mindset on my part for them to ⬇️ 3mo
robinb be that far along in that department already. My only other call out was Neil's character. I felt he was a bit overdone in his "bumbling" academic role, and he actually tended to get on my nerves with his nonsensical portrayal. However, Constance more than saved the day with her spunky, all-in, brave and hilarious self...she needs her own series. Looking forward to more! 4.5/5⭐️ 3mo
BookmarkTavern I felt the same way about this new romance! It felt unexpected and very rushed. Hopefully book three will take more time with it. And Connie was an absolute star of this book. 3mo

robinb @BookmarkTavern I‘m glad to hear it wasn‘t just me! 🤣 I honestly felt like I had missed a previous book from where this one picked up. And yes, I‘m definitely Team Constance all the way! (edited) 3mo
BookmarkTavern And the fact that we get to go to India with Connie in book three? I am so excited to see where that goes! 3mo
robinb @BookmarkTavern Yes! At the rate Ellie and Adam are going they will probably be married with 3 kids by then. LOL 3mo
BookmarkTavern Can you imagine the absolute chaos of children of Ellie and Adam?!? Just imagining it makes me want to watch The Mummy Returns again. At least I can dive into more of Benson‘s backlog while I wait for three. 😁 3mo
bookandbedandtea This series sounds great! (And I love the covers 🤩) I just got book 1. 3mo
robinb @bookandbedandtea I‘m so glad you‘re going to try it! Let us know what you think. 😊 2mo
robinb @BookmarkTavern I‘m planning to check out her backlist as well. Happy I discovered her. 😊 2mo

Gravity Lost: A Novel | L. M. Sagas

I technically rated How to Talk so Little Kids Will Listen higher than Gravity Lost, but since this has ended up being an entirely fiction board, I think I'll stick with that theme (and maybe create a second non-fiction bracket for myself)

Tomb of the Sun King | Jacquelyn Benson

Pickpick

Ellie & Adam must race to Egypt to beat Jacobs & Dawson to finding the tomb that hides the staff of Moses. Teaming up w/ Ellie‘s friend Connie, her brother Neil, & his friend Sayyid, they hope to protect a lost tomb.

A solid follow up! The relationship of Ellie & Adam stayed solid, the archaeology had me totally hooked, & I loved our new side characters. This is falling into a pattern of White Savior trope, but I loved everything else.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

BookmarkTavern Did I buy a kindle for myself for my birthday to take on my mini vacation I also bought for myself for my birthday? Yes, yes I did. 3mo
