Finished earlier in the week for #NancyDrewBR & I will echo what seems to be most of the group & say this was my least favorite so far of the books. Very disjointed plot & downright weird in spots, I don‘t remember reading this one as a child (I think there are some gaps in my Nancy Drew reading). There were no noggin knockouts for Nancy & the #NNK counter but a side character got smacked over the head really hard ⬇️

Ran errands this morning & stopped off for coffee, banana bread & some #LitsyLove replies. (Yes, I‘m behind again…)

Also finished the tagged book. Nostalgia for Michael Crichton & this being his last book that James Patterson finished made me want to give this a pick but the writing & undeveloped story & characters are just so-so. It does read like a thriller movie & reading it on the plane flying around the islands & to-&-from⬇️

2024 Review:

Reading these books through again 5 years later is very revealing. I missed a ton of 'Kerwent' subtext the first time around, & knowing what I know about Derwent now, I can see how a lot of his banter & toughness is a front. The case also was a lot more interesting this time around & I've bumped my rating up by 1 star. 4🌟

#UnpopularOpinion This one was just OK for me. I felt like I was rereading so, it was easy to set aside & overlook for another book😅 I did like the tension buildup at the end though.

All that being said, I do very much enjoy this series & have the next instalments already in my library😏📚

I tried again yesterday to read A Little Bit Wicked. I can't get into it, so I decided to DNF. Also, I had my hold for Twisted Games come in yesterday.

An account of the 1906 sinking of the 'Valencia', a ship sailing between San Francisco & Seattle with 108 passengers and 65 crew members aboard. Bad weather & human error combined to cause the 'Valencia' to strike a reef off the coast of Vancouver Island which lead to the deaths of 136 people, including all the women & children onboard.

Absolutely will continue with this series. I love this #CanadianAuthor #FoodandLit 3 sisters are tasked into taking a curse away from a rare necklace, and 2 are kidnapped. What will the third sister so. #ReadAway2024 #SeriesLove24 it also had 664 pages. #ChunksterChallenge2024 #MiniChunkster @Texreader @Catsandbooks @DieAReader @Andrew65 @TheSpineView @Amiable @GHABI4ROSES

#ReadAway2024 #SeriesLove2024 November 2024 #AuthorAMonth At first I wasn‘t sure I liked this. I recognized the narrator as the same woman who narrates the Eve Dallas series, a buddy read from which I withdrew after the fourth book in the series. I had to work to get the Eve Dallas narration out of my head so I could enjoy the Garden Spells narration. I read a description of this book as “magical realism,” a genre I‘ve read that many (cont)⬇️
