This one had a slow start, and the writing was definitely a few steps down from the book I listened to just before this one (so it took some time to adjust to completely different writing in both style and quality). The story was disjointed in places, and that wasn‘t cleared up until at least half way through the book, so it just felt like there were these random fragments of other stories in random places.
👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

GingerAntics The audiobook was literally just pulled from the original 2004 CD audiobook, so there are random “end of disk 4... disk 5” announcements in the middle of sentences. It would have taken less than an hour to edit those out and make this a proper digital audiobook. It just felt rushed and haphazard, almost as if no one cared to make a decent product. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 6d
GingerAntics The case was compelling and there were a ton of revelations. There were a lot of twists and turns along the way. The killer, at the end, was shocking. This one had a lot of death and a lot of blood if that kind of thing bothers you. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 6d
GingerAntics I think the thing that annoys me the most is that 3 of the first 4 books all have naked women on them, even though that‘s not part of the case at all. I‘m trying to figure out what dirty old man designed these book covers and why no one thought to stop him. #TessGerritsen #BodyDouble #RizzoliAndIsles #MauraIsles #JaneRizzoli #audiobook 6d

Read for #BobWhiteBuddies Book 7 in the series doesn‘t quite live up to my childhood hype of it. I remember it being a favorite because of the code found in the magazine (Saint Nicholas-a real children‘s magazine) & the little spark of Trixie/Jim romance (a corsage & a dance but be still my preteen heart) Unfortunately the racist caricature of the Japanese brothers doesn‘t age very well. It still gets a nostalgic ⬇️

DebinHawaii … but soft pick. I‘m also using it for the #HauntedShelf #BookScavengerHunt #FIgure prompt as in addition to Trixie, there‘s the figure of a very bad guy on the cover.

Read during the following readathons for Team #Flerken 👻 points:

TheSpineView Excellent! 5mo
TheAromaofBooks Yay!! I just started this one, but already I'm like... why does the school board give the Hawks a pass but the Bob-Whites (who are all model students and children of prominent citizens) have to work for it?? 😂 I also remember being intrigued by the code growing up, but now am like, this seems like a lot of work to write SOS 😆 5mo

This is a cute children‘s book (part of the Bats series) with an autumn & slightly spooky (it‘s bats) 🦇🦇🦇 vibe so I‘m counting it for #HauntedShelf. I‘m also using it for the #BookScavengerHunt #Luck prompt as these book-loving bats get lucky when a library window is left open & they get to spend the evening at the library. .

Read during the readathons listed in comments below. Go Team #Flerken 👻

While not my favorite Poirot, this one does involve Mrs. Oliver (although not nearly enough of her haha). I still haven't decided whether or not the ending is a bit of a cheat. Soft pick.

#ReadAway2024 #SeriesLove2024

Finished last week as one of my #SeasonalCizy picks for October & it‘s part of my #HauntedShelf TBR. 2nd in the Merry Muffin Mystery & a good continuation with Merry looking to find a buyer for her inherited castle & throwing a Halloween party for potential buyers & the locals. This series is currently free on Audible & I like that but it means I didn‘t find any #ScavengerHunt words for Team #Flerken Using it for ⬇️

TheSpineView Fantastic! 5mo

Finished Book 4 in the Berry Basket mystery series as one of my #SeasonalCozy picks & other than the MC making the WORST decisions running from the killer,🙄it was pretty good. I found 9 #HauntedShelf #WordSearch words & I used it already for #Pumpkin in the #BookScavengerHunt. Counting it in the readathons listed in comments below as I read it last week & this week.

I‘m still tallying my points for Team #Flerken

Several readathons this weekend and I'm ready!! Like @PuddleJumper said, I could definitely use a #BodyDouble to do my chores while I do my reading 😂 @Bookwormjillk is hosting a #CozyReads weekend as well. I am hoping to finish the tagged book and read at least one more!! @TheSpineView my #Spookoween goal for the month is to average 210pgs/day - currently I'm only 238pgs behind, so I'm going to try and catch up this weekend!! Also still ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) trying to achieve 31 books in 31 days for the #31by31 which I just realized I think I have been tagging 31in31 in all my other posts 😅 @Catsandbooks Currently I'm only at 5 books for the month, but I have several short stories that should boost the number.

Thanks to everyone for hosting!! Looking forward to getting some reading in this weekend!!
