Cousin Kelly's Family Secret | Francine Pascal, Molly MIA Stewart

Cousin Kelly comes to visit the twins for Thanksgiving. She shows up a few days early & is very sad. Her parents are thinking about getting a divorce. So the twins take it upon themselves to cheer her up & take her mind off of things. I always enjoy when Kelly shows up and they act like triplets. Luckily her parents decide to stay together in the end. 4⭐️

Book 19 in the Hamish Macbeth series is a really good one. I had a hard time putting this down yesterday. As always, I‘d highly recommend this series along with the Agatha Raisin series if you enjoy cozy mysteries. 4.5⭐️

Canadian Summer | Hilda Van Stockum

I chose Canadian Summer, the sequel to The Mitchells: Five For Victory for #foodandlit this month. The Mitchell family moves to Montreal from Washington, D.C. shortly after the end of WWII. There are 6 Mitchell children & they get up to all sorts of shenanigans. They befriend some of the French speaking locals & other interesting neighbors. These are sweet & cozy & I‘m looking forward to reading the next book in the series. 4⭐️🇨🇦

I read the short essay Modern Fiction by Virginia Woolf for the #VirginiaBloomsberries - The only book of hers I‘ve read so far is Mrs. Dalloway, so I‘m looking forward to reading more of her books. This essay talks about modern writers versus the classics and how modern writers should focus on writing what they want versus what is expected of them.

In this Halloween book, Lila throws a party for the whole class at a haunted house, which is actually a museum that rents the house out for parties.

SVMS is putting together a time capsule to be opened in 25 years. Students are put onto teams of 4 to come up with 3 items which best represent the 1960s, when SVMS was founded. The winning team gets to have their photo put in the time capsule, along with the 3 items. Of course, Jess & the Unicorns want to win but Liz is placed on a team with her current pet project, George (would take too long to explain his story), & to the surprise of no one⬇️

JenlovesJT47 Saint Liz and her team win. I‘m getting a little tired of this formula in every book. We‘ve never heard of George Henkel before this book & I don‘t know if he‘s mentioned in any others. I do wish sometimes that Liz would do something out of character for once & stop being such a goody goody. Not holding my breath on that! 3⭐️ #SweetValley #SweetValleyTwins #SVT #twins #nostalgia 7d

New student Ginny Lu Culpepper is a walking stereotype. She is from the Great Smoky Mountains & has a thick southern accent. Ellen takes an instant disliking to her & humiliates her whenever she gets the chance. Liz of course befriends her. What would we do without Saint Liz? 😆 She talks Ginny Lu into entering the Arts & Crafts fair at school & Ginny Lu ups and runs away because she thinks people are making fun of her. It all works out in the ⬇️

JenlovesJT47 End & Ginny Lu even wins first place in the Arts & Crafts fair. Color me shocked! 3⭐️ #SweetValley #SweetValleyTwins #SVT #twins #nostalgia 7d

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⭐️

To everyone‘s surprise, Jessica wins the 2nd grade spelling bee at school & gets to compete in the district spelling bee. She feels she is not smart enough & apparently everyone agrees because the whole class tries to convince her to do a twin switch on the big day & let Liz go in her place. But she surprises everyone & herself most of all when she does it all on her own. 4⭐️

I binge watched this show last week & loved it. This is one of the rare instances where I prefer the show to the book. But the book was still enjoyable & I liked the ending. 9 strangers go to a health resort called Tranquillum House. The eccentric owner has some very interesting ideas about therapy & hallucinogenic drugs. It‘s a good character study but perhaps a bit too long. 4⭐️

Poor Sarah lost her mother recently & her dad has a new fiancée, Annie. Annie is sweet as pie when dad is around but barely disguises her contempt when he isn‘t. But Sarah won‘t tell her dad. Dad has to go on a week-long business trip & asks Annie to stay with Sarah. Annie ditches her immediately but makes her swear not to tell dad. Sarah is terrified staying alone & barely gets any sleep. By the time the weekend rolls around, she‘s so exhausted⬇️

JenlovesJT47 She takes a tumble down the stairs after hearing a loud noise, thinking it‘s a burglar. Liz & her dad come to pick Sarah up for a sleepover but there‘s no answer. Liz looks in the window & sees Sarah in a heap at the foot of the stairs, unconscious. Mr. W. saves the day & they bust a window & get Sarah to the hospital. Sarah‘s dad rushes home & Annie gets busted, sayonara Annie! It‘s a good thing Saint Liz was there to save the day! 😆 3.5⭐️ 2w

This book was published in 1945 & is the story of the Mitchell family. There are 5 Mitchell children who live with their mother & Grannie while their father & uncle are off fighting in the war. They get into all sorts of funny shenanigans with their club to help the war effort. A nice snapshot of American life during WWII. I‘m reading the sequel for #FoodAndLit - 4⭐️

I don‘t read many romance books but I really enjoyed this one. Jeanie, the new owner of the Pumpkin Spice Cafe, has to adjust to the small town of Dream Harbor. She befriends Logan, a sexy farmer, who has abandonment issues because his last girlfriend publicly dumped him because she didn‘t want to live the small town life. They start falling for each other but are afraid of screwing it up. Cute, cozy, funny & sexy. 4⭐️

This is a sweet story about a middle-aged woman who befriends 93-year-old Edward after the death of his beloved wife. They bond over delicious food & their friendship changes her life. Listening to this made me very hungry! Thanks for the recommendation @DebinHawaii ! 4⭐️

Jessica and the Jumbo Fish | Francine Pascal, Molly MIA Stewart

The Wakefield family takes a family vacation at the lake. Jess is horrified at the idea of fishing and hangs out with Jilly, a girl their age staying in the cabin next door. After 2 days of hanging out with this insufferable girl, fishing sounds more & more appealing. She finally goes out on the boat on the last day of vacation & catches the biggest fish, bigger than anyone else has caught all weekend. So cute! 4⭐️

The Bully | Francine Pascal, Jamie Suzanne

Pickpick

SVMS has its very own bully! Big bad Dennis Cookman spends all his time bullying the entire 6th grade, beating up poor Jimmy Underwood & extorting money from Lila. Aaron, Ken, Jimmy, Liz & Amy come up with a plan to get back at him. Meanwhile, Grace wants to join the Unicorn Club & Jess tasks her with getting Dennis to join her for lunch as an initiation task. Luckily Grace saves the day in the end & saves Dennis‘ life when the Fearless Five‘s⬇️

JenlovesJT47 Plan almost gets Dennis killed. Nothing like a good old flash flood in a cave to take care of a bully! 😆 4⭐️ #SweetValley #SweetValleyTwins #SVT #nostalgia #twins #HauntedShelf #FrightClub #TBRread @Jadams89 4w
