4.5/5 ⭐️
Aaaaand DONE! I really enjoyed this one. It‘s been on my shelf forever. I‘m glad #authoramonth prompted me to finally read it.
Alex Stern is a great character and the premise was really interesting. It took me a minute to get into the format and timelines but it was worth it. I added the second book to my BOTM. Offspring was thrilled that I liked it. She read a while ago and can‘t find anyone who liked it 🤣.

I have my reading journal page ready for April #EBBR!

1. I‘m looking forward to Mexican food tonight
2. Litsy
3. Reading
4. Spring break is over but it was a great week back at work and we‘re in the home stretch!
5. We‘ve had lovely weather.
I‘ve read all the books in the Inkeeper Chronicles. I don‘t know when the next book will be out 😭. Until then I‘m moving on to this series.
Exactly!!! What was Jimjam‘s owner thinking?? I feel so bad for that little terrier. 😭
I have to agree with Miss MacFarren and Joss. Antonia should be kept far away from animals. Like others, this book is kind of stressing me out 🤣

I first heard of this series from @Captivatedbybooks last year when she was my Jolabokaflod partner. My library has is on audio, but honestly I am not a fan of the narrators at all. I do love the story so I might have to break down and buy the other books so I can eyeball read them.

I am really enjoying this one. Harriet is a busybody who really doesn‘t help anyone 🤣

The one where things start to get dark.
I may not have finished this in February, but it was my February #BookSpin.
@TheAromaofBooks
Bonus: it works for #allergictochunksters and is a petite chunkster for the #chunksterchallenge

this installment of the Nancy Drew series was a hit for me because of the wonderful eye rolling laughs it gave me. A meteor? Getting tossed over board? Nancy actually loses a ping pong game 😱? Ad nauseam references to cabin 128? Yes, please! Can‘t wait for the next installment!

Reading this for #authoramonth @Soubhiville
I never made a special section for the #EBBR that @Ruthiella is hosting. I also don‘t think I need to do a star rating for each book so I‘ll just be keeping track of the cases I figured out and the ones that stumped me. I am utterly embarrassed by not being able to “solve” the secret pitch case. 🤦♀️
#5JoysFriday @DebinHawaii
1. Today is Friday.
2. Next week is Spring break.
3. I‘m having tacos for dinner.
4. Reading good books.
5. Spring is here.
I‘m actually still working on a book from the February #bookspin so I‘m picking short reads for this month‘s numbers.
My prompt #1 is “A First”.
My prompt #12 is “Paperback Crush”.
As always, thank you @TheAromaofBooks ! I hope the move is going ok.
3.5/5⭐️
Was it the best writing? No
Were the characters complex and well written? Not really
Were there plot holes? Yup with a little Nancy Drew coincidence and luck thrown in.
Good ending? NOPE
But I couldn‘t stop reading and I enjoyed it anyway.
I decided to read a chapter a day for the #literarycrew February selection and it resulted in reading synchronicity! I am on chapter 29 about M Paul‘s fête which is taking place March 1…though not on a Thursday.
#5JoysFriday @DebinHawaii
Even though I‘m not consistent with my five joys every week, it is one of my favorite Litsy events.
1. My husband (always)
2. Warmer temperatures and sunshine ☀️
3. Litsy (always)
4. My reading journal.
5. Reading (which is why I‘m a little less active lately)
I finally got around to reading Roxane Gay thanks to #authoramonth hosted by @Soubhiville . I forgot I had this one on my kindle so I‘m diving in. I doubt I‘ll finish it before Friday though.
Chapter 25. Apparently being a teacher was a horribly shameful thing? Or was the teaching profession a sign of poverty? I‘m laughing at this whole conversation at the Bretton breakfast table.
#LiteraryCrew
I‘m glad #AuthorAMonth prompted me to finally pick this off my shelf. These short, readable essays were powerful, but sometimes hard to read.
I love the StoryGraph and the stats are the best. However, I really hate this stat. I wish I could turn it off. (It looks ok now but by December the number will be much higher.)
#SundayFunday @BookmarkTavern
First I walk around looking at my bookshelves and sigh dramatically. Then I pick up a few books, read a few pages and lounge on the couch consumed by ennui. Sometimes I‘ll scroll through Litsy looking for inspiration. Or I‘ll avoid looking at my bookshelves because I feel guilty. I‘ll look over my TBR and wonder what the purpose of it even is anymore. And then finally some book appeals and I‘m reading again.
I bought myself a birthday present. My birthday is in March. Close enough, right?

My engagement with this selection for the #furrowedmiddlebrowclub was up and down. I struggled to get into it. I was delighted with the book with a book. I often fell asleep while reading after that point. Then it picked up again with young Addie‘s diary. It was indeed too long and I think it could have been executed better or at least could have gotten some editing. The structure was weird to me.
“There is nothing like taking all you do at a moderate estimate: it keeps mind and body tranquil; whereas grandiloquent notions are apt to hurry both into fever.”
I am going back and forth between physical and audiobook for this. I am enjoying it! #literarycrew
I made a special spread in my reading journal for the #NancyDrewBR. Just don‘t look too closely since I messed up some lettering and spacing. I shouldn‘t work on things when I am tired and the lighting is bad 😂
2.5/5 ⭐️
Just a so so for me. There seem to be fewer cases and lots of hints get dropped each book, but then they never get picked up again. I‘m going to take a little break from this series for a bit.
I find this to be one of the more unattractive Nancy Drew covers. #NancyDrewBR
It‘s #bookspin day! My forever list prompt number 4 is “Kindle” and 10 is “2000-2010”.
Thanks for such a wonderful game @TheAromaofBooks
#hyggehourreadathon
I‘m reading the tagged book on my kindle and I‘ll read a few pages of my library book as well. If you look closely you can see my green, snuggly blanket and my flannel plaid pajamas. There‘s a gentle rain outside. Happy to be reading with everyone!
@Chrissyreadit @AllDebooks @TheBookHippie @jenniferw88
17% and I‘m trying to get into it. I hope is picks up.

Unreliable narrator, bleak, violent, sad, dark and all the triggers.
I couldn‘t stop reading.
