Mehso-so

I was curious how the books compare to the Charlie Chan movies. Surprisingly, I didn‘t have a strong picture of Chan as I read this. He was just one of a number of characters, and I didn‘t find as much detail of his investigations. There is quite a lot of description about 1930s and past Hawaii/Honolulu, however.

The story itself is really kind of a downer, (maybe a little noir?) so while it was interesting, I wouldn‘t say I enjoyed it.

mabell Thank you for sending it @Gissy ! 12mo
Librarybelle Great pick for 1925! 12mo

mabell @Librarybelle I realize it was that old! So I should have said 1920s 😆 12mo
Librarybelle 😂 I didn‘t even catch that in your write up about the book! I saw the year in your tag! 12mo
Gissy @mabell So bad! I was planning to read it when I saw the book in your wish list. I enjoyed those old episodes of Charlie Chan. That‘s what I enjoy about swaps or when I send gifts, I look over those wish lists, which means more books in my wish list. I think I will be immortal to read all the booksi I like🤣🤣🤣 12mo
mabell @Gissy I‘m glad I read it! Every time I watch a Charlie Chan and see “Earl Derr Biggers”, I‘m curious! Now I know 😆 Interestingly, there is a restaurant called the House Without a Key in Honolulu! I know what you mean about adding to the wish list 🙋‍♀️😂😂 12mo

Also, I wanted to highlight how beautifully you wrapped the gifts! Your creative folding and tucking in the bookmarks was fabulous! You aren‘t allowed to deprecate your wrapping skills anymore! 🤣🤣

Gissy I watched some videos to do this, something different and not too complicated 😄 2y
mabell @Gissy It looks fabulous! Watching videos is such a great idea! I‘ll have to look up some! 2y
Gissy @mabell That one is very easy🤗 2y
