This is the third or fourth typo in this book, two like this one(the “p” right before the quote). It hasn‘t kept me from enjoying the book, though! Considering it‘s a BOTM edition I‘m not sure whether to be surprised or not.

An entertaining enough read. I just read Carrie in October so this suffered a little in comparison. It was fine and it kept me engaged. I‘ve probably been generous with my stars as I had a few nitpicks. I‘m glad I borrowed this from the library instead of buying.
I am getting in the #SnickerdoodleSpirit #Readathon with the next #HitchToScreen selection and Happy color. No goals. Just books and cozy vibes. Thanks @Bookwormjillk !
I am ridiculously excited about this feature on the StoryGraph!

I was really interested in this #LittensLoveRomance pick, but I‘m trying really hard to cut down on book purchases and spending in general. Lo and behold I go to check it out (again) and it‘s only $2.99 on kindle AND I have some credits so it‘s only $0.74! I couldn‘t let the opportunity pass. Now let‘s see if I can read it in the next two weeks!

1. My morning coffee and scrolling through Litsy.
2. I have several books going at the moment and I‘m not sure any of the MCs could be described as having a “best trait” since they are all kinda flawed. I‘ll just go with Nancy Drew and say her best trait is determination.

Faster paced than the last couple I read for the #NancyDrewBR. This one was a fun one. Thanks for hosting @Librarybelle

I finished it a day late but I enjoyed this one. I went back and forth between audio and kindle. It‘s very melodramatic with strong Perils of Pauline vibes. Perfect escapist and atmospheric read. Like others have said, it was extra fun to be reading it at the same time of year as in the book. My winter break is coming up and I‘m going to try to talk hubby into watching the 1939 movie with me.

Jeff Hayes is still brilliant. I still love Princess Donut, but I didn‘t like this level as much. Mordechai was mostly missing and when he was around he was this weird froglike thing with a weird croaky thing going on. The tangle also confused me. Still a pick though!

@MaleficentBookDragon I have received my #jolabokaflod package from @tdrosebud and I am counting down to open day!
I‘m going to attempt to finish this audiobook before December 14th for #hitchtoscreen. I‘m liking it so far (I‘m only on chapter 2). I think I‘m glad that I have not read Rebecca since I‘ve seen a couple of reviews that have said this one isn‘t as good as Rebecca.
My goal in 2025 is to be a little less lurky and actually participate in the buddy reads on Litsy. Many thanks to all the hosts and organizers that keep me on the tag lists!
That said, here are the authors I plan to read for the #authoramonth. I already own books by them or are readily available on Hoopla (no wait list!).

My husband and I don‘t even watch tv anymore. We just listen to Carl books.

Two holds (the tagged book and The Weight of Blood) and an impulse check-out (Morality for Beautiful Girls).
My #jolabokaflodSwap24 package is making its way to @Captivatedbybooks It should arrive by Tuesday, December 10th. My family has a reputation for going a little heavy on packing tape and it‘s probably got some stray cat hairs. 😂

Once again I am a day late with #5JoysFriday hosted by @DebinHawaii
1. It‘s been so cold but I have my cats to keep me warm.
2. Litsy brings me so much joy even when I am mainly lurking.
3. Pango books!
4. Reading a good book.
5. No picture but my 3rd period class just made me smile a lot this week.
Starting this now for #hitchtoscreen hosted by @JenlovesJT47 because if I don‘t the time will get away from me! Added bonus: it works for my #bookspin pick too!
Cold morning. Warm cats. Good book. Such a shame I have to go to work.

Absolutely fabulous audio performance! This is a book I would much prefer to listen to than read. My husband made me get the second book at soon as we finished the first.
Posting my never-changing #bookspin list before I forget!
As always, thank you @TheAromaofBooks for hosting this.
I‘m listening to this with my husband and we are loving it. It‘s hilarious!
I know better than to leave paperbacks unattended when there are so many cats in my house, but I did it anyway and now I‘m paying the price 😂

1. I consider myself a “To-do Lister”. I put tasks in a to do list with no real plan in mind.
2. I honestly can‘t think of a book right now.

A nice ending to a delightfully escapist reading series.
#5JoysFriday (a day late) @DebinHawaii
1. Litsy has a permanent place on my list of joys.
2 and 3 While I shouldn‘t be buying more books, Pango and ThriftBooks = spending a little less and not using Amazon as much.
4 and 5 Sunshine and nice temperatures mean sitting outside and reading.

@Rissreads posted the book and @Aims42 mentioned Pango. I decided to take both of their advice 😂
I‘ve never ordered from Pango books before. Usually I go with ThriftBooks. I guess there‘s nothing wrong with having more options.

Excellent read. A bit of Jewish philosophy. A bit of Jewish History. Modern quasi suspense. A family story. A lot going on but well written. I couldn‘t stop reading.
“Surely one of the chief differences between the veteran teacher and the recruit must be that the experienced can never find enough time, whereas the ingénue struggles to fill the hours, looks forward to dismissal time as a reprieve.”
Oh it can happen to us veterans too!
#randomclassics
1. At least there is no doubt and there won‘t be any violence. 🤞
2. Litsy is an oasis.
3. Books are an oasis (if I avoid serious topics )
4. Cats are snuggly.
5. My husband brought home Chik-fil-a on Wednesday.

1. Hard choice. They are both beautiful but I guess a sunrise holds more promise.
2. Philosophical, parallel and engrossing.

I will be reading for the foreseeable future. I am a public high school teacher. Please explain to me how I am supposed to teach teenagers to respect others, be kind and do what‘s right.
Starting this today for one of the November discussions on The Big Read. I need to be careful. I‘ve started a lot of books lately!
