Mehso-so

I am late as usual for the monthly Nancy Drew book club. I will be up to date tomorrow though. 😜 This ND novel seemed somewhat chaotic to me - it was a lot of back and forth going on. At least this time there only seemed to be one story line, but it was clear from the beginning what everyone was aiming for. So, it wasn‘t quite a mystery. I understsnd it is not easy to keep the level of quality through tour a series with over 100 books, …

MariaW … some of them must be less good. 4h
Librarybelle Not one of the best, for sure! 3h

I agree with @DGRachel …this is my least favorite so far. While it has tunnels and a few hits on the head, this just seemed to lack some of the sparkle in other Nancy Drew books. It also seemed a little convoluted, and I know we have to suspend reality at times with these novels. Younger me did not read this one, and I think younger me would have a similar reaction.

Discussion tomorrow, #LittenDetectives ! #NancyDrewBR

DogMomIrene I‘m watching Castle for comfort. FBI agent tries to demean Rick Castle by referring to him as Nancy Drew and Castle quips back “Is that supposed to be an insult because Nancy Drew solved every case” and it made me think of you guys rereading her legacy of crime solving! 8h
Librarybelle @DogMomIrene Castle is a great show! 8h
Ruthiella I think the ghost writer was just phoning this one in for a paycheck. 🙃 7h

Pickpick

I‘ll give book 4 in the Nancy Drew series a soft pick. The first half was good with the usual brushes with death, shady characters & Nancy‘s doppelgänger. Once it got to the last 3rd of the book, it became a bit fantastical in my opinion. But overall, I‘m enjoying the cozy vibes of this series for the #NancyDrewBR and look forward to reading more. Hopefully I‘ll be caught up within the next month. 3⭐️

I have to say I am bit annoyed of the repetition of the short introduction of the different characters at the beginning of each book of the Nancy Drew series. A few lines further along Bess and George are described again and shortly Nancy‘s first and latest adventure are mentioned. And somewhere in the book Bess is shamed for her eating habits at least once as well. 🙄🙄🙄

JenlovesJT47 They do this in Sweet Valley books as well. I think it‘s for those who haven‘t read the previous books. I agree it can be tiresome. I just finished the 4th Nancy Drew book so I haven‘t seen Bess or George yet but the early Sweet Valley books did a lot of fat shaming as well. 😳 1d

#LitSolace #Naturalitsy #HyggeHourReadathon

My #HyggeHour is hanging out with Nancy for a bit along with some chocolate I picked up in Maui. This one is chocolate, mac nuts, marshmallows & Rice Krispies.😋🍫

I really wish I had tomorrow off but it‘s back to work & another busy week. Health wise, I am feeling better, stronger each day. Mental health wise, I feel like I am going through the motions just to get by. 😵‍💫

TheBookHippie 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 I‘m with ya. Chocolate looks divine. 4d
AllDebooks Lovely chocolate. Hope you feel in a better headspace soon. Maybe a busy week will keep you distracted. x 4d
AllDebooks Maybe give yourself some #hygge space everyday, even if it's just 10 minutes. x 4d

Lesliereadsalot I have also felt like I‘m just going through the motions, like nobody is hearing me. It‘s tough but you can turn that negativity into positive energy. Focus on your joys and the people who you love and who love you back. You can do it! 🩷 3d

It has been next to impossible to read this week, but I picked up the next #nancydrewbr book because I knew I could power through it in about 90 minutes. Sadly, my efforts were not rewarded. Honestly, I think this is my least favorite of the series so far. It‘s filled with annoying characters, and while the plot made me roll my eyes, as usual, it just wasn‘t nearly as much fun. Even Scooter is like “why did we bother?” 😂

#WeeklyForecast

Continue Sovereign #ShardlakeBR

I‘ve just started Aftermath and the tagged book #NancyDrewBR

I started Orbital last night, but I‘m not really feeling it. The winner of the Booker Prize is announced on Tuesday, and if it wins I might pick it up again

Then I‘ll see what I‘m in the mood for

Tamra I really enjoyed Orbital, but I know others haven‘t. 4d

bookandbedandtea @MaleficentBookDragon The Navy moved my daughter to Virginia and she misses snow too! People tell her VA has four seasons but that hasn't been her experience. 😉 3d
bookandbedandtea @LiteraryinPA Yes! This much snow was really unusual for us in November. Our substantial storms usually come in late winter. 3d
MaleficentBookDragon @bookandbedandtea I know. It was 58 when I left PA and it was 79 when I got home to Virginia. And I hate heat. 😣 2d
