Book 3 down for the #NancyDrewBR ! I‘m actually really enjoying these. I find them relaxing and it‘s nice to get lost in Nancy‘s world and see just how many near-death experiences she can have in one book! 😆

I‘m still trying to catch up for the #NancyDrewBR & just finished book 2. I really enjoyed this one. It wasn‘t quite as cheesy as the last one & the stakes were higher as poor Mr. Drew goes missing. I like Helen & the old ladies & the setting of the old colonial house with hidden staircases & passages. I do find it funny how quickly Nancy is able to get every bad guy to bend to her will & confess. 😆 This was fun! 4⭐️

Librarybelle Yes! The hidden areas of the house were fun to read about! 3d
Ruthiella When confronted by Nancy Drew, bad guys cave! 😂 3d
JenlovesJT47 @Ruthiella lol they saved 60 pages by getting the bad guys to cave after talking to Nancy for 2 minutes 😆 3d

I decided to join the Nancy Drew buddy read but I‘m a year behind & starting at the beginning. I‘ve never read any ND books & it sounded like fun. As a diehard Sweet Valley fan, I can see the appeal of these books, especially nostalgia wise. Nancy is a bit of a Mary Sue character but it‘s oddly fitting for the time period. Other than them giving away the “secret” in the title 😆 I enjoyed the mystery aspect of this & look forward to reading more!

Librarybelle Yay! It is hilarious that so much is given away in the title. 😂 1w
TorieStorieS Oh this is another one that is so fun that I grew up reading! I have a number of books that are my mom‘s and some of the newer reprints to fill in the gaps! I think the later revival of the series shared some ghost writers with Sweet Valley! Plus, I live not that far from River Forest, IL where the books are set! In fact, both my husband and I got our graduate degrees in River Forest! 1w

JenlovesJT47 @TorieStorieS ok thank you for telling me what state they were in, it didn‘t say in this one and I was going to Google it before I read the next one. 😆 That‘s so cool! 1w
JenlovesJT47 @Librarybelle lol right? 😆 1w
TorieStorieS I‘m not sure which one that says where they are— and they do travel a bit too, but she‘s based in IL! 1w

I don‘t give out one star lightly but I really hated this book. The main character was annoying, self righteous, rude, whiny, and had zero business inserting herself into a murder investigation. The boyfriend was just as bad (he‘s a cop). The dialogue was corny and the narrator for this was also terrible. My first 1⭐️ book in a few years. 😬

Traci1 That's disappointing. Hope your next one is lots better. 3w
JenlovesJT47 @Traci1 thanks! Next up is the new Alice Hoffman book which I‘ve been waiting for for awhile so it‘s bound to be better than this 😁 3w
TorieStorieS I feel like cozy mysteries are either 100% awesome or 100% awful— I don‘t think I have read any that are just okay… seems like a love/hate thing for me! Sorry this was the latter!! 3w

JenlovesJT47 @TorieStorieS yes I‘ve read 3 duds in the past week because I was looking for spooky audiobooks on Hoopla. I‘m usually better at picking books I know I‘ll like but I only finished them because they‘re short. I really hated this one, though. I think it‘s been a few years since I gave out a 1⭐️ rating because usually I can find at least one redeeming thing in any book! Since you‘re my book twin if you haven‘t read them try the Phryne Fisher series⬇️ 3w
JenlovesJT47 She‘s the best! And the narrator is excellent. And it‘s set in Australia and I love listening to their accents 😆 3w
TorieStorieS Ooooo! Thanks for the recommendation!! I do love Australian narrators! Have you listened to anything read by Caroline Lee? She does most of Liane Moriarty‘s books and I think a few of Kate Morton‘s along with some others— I just love her voice and she handles all accents well!! 3w
JenlovesJT47 @TorieStorieS yes I‘ve listened to a few of hers, she‘s good! I‘m a big Liane Moriarty fan. And if you like Australian audiobooks then try any of Sally Hepworth‘s books, they‘re all really good, especially this one 3w
TorieStorieS I have that one on my Kindle already! I will have to try to get to it sooner then! I have enjoyed all of the ones of Hepworth‘s that I‘ve read so far, too! Twinning again! 🤣 3w
JenlovesJT47 @TorieStorieS actually, there‘s a Sally Hepworth one about twins which is the first one I read and I loved it 😁 3w
JenlovesJT47 @TorieStorieS omg we really are book twins lol 😆🤓 3w
TorieStorieS I know!! 🤣🤣🤣 3w

I‘m giving this a soft pick because it‘s easy listening and relaxing. There‘s a good story in there but it gets lost in the corny dialogue. And it didn‘t have much to do with Halloween. Oh well! 3⭐️

This is a cute paranormal mystery/romance set in a paranormal town filled with witches, vampires, demons & a few humans. A witch falls in love with a human but has to deal with the ghost of her ex gf who can‘t leave until her murder is solved. Perfect for this time of year. 4⭐️🎃

Also using this for the book scavenger hunt for fancy font.

This audiobook was very disappointing. The only reason I‘m not giving it a pan is that it might be a tad better to read with your eyeballs. The narrator was terrible. Very corny and made the characters seem like caricatures. 2.5⭐️

Another fun crayon book where it‘s time to go trick or treating and the purple and black crayons try to teach the other crayons the proper etiquette when going door to door. 😆 4⭐️

20 points for a spooky read and 15 points for the book scavenger hunt “orange”.
