Margo's Got Money Troubles \ Margo Tiene Problemas de Dinero (Spanish Edition) | Rufi Thorpe

so-so

February 2025 Book #8 (last book read this month)

😬Another unpopular opinion🤷🏽‍♀️What is the purpose of this book? Margo tried to manage her dysfunctional parents by establishing emotional barriers. I still think she underestimate what happened with this professor. She tried to stand alone for herself and son by creating an “ethical kick-ass pimps of all time..” where “sex work can be a legitimate profession…then why not being a pimp?”⬇️

Gissy (Cont.) “an ethical pimp?🤔I thought there are other appropriate ways for persons who are sex workers and not depend on a “pimp”. Maybe I didn‘t understand Margo wonderful, unique work industry😏2⭐️ 4d

I guess the spinners want me to finish carryover titles from previous months as much as I do. Only #12 is a May title. 🤓

CBee The spinner thingy knows 😂😂 3w

Trixie Belden and the Mystery of the Blinking Eye | Kathryn Kenny

#Read2025 #SeriesLove2025 #DynamicDs

Finished this weekend for #BobWhiteBuddies there is always a chance of #Danger when Trixie Belden is around. This one was a favorite growing up probably because of the NYC setting & finally, Dan gets to go somewhere! (Granted it‘s within state lines but anyway…) I can still recite the first 2 lines of the fortune Trixie is given by a fortune teller she helps at the airport which is pretty impressive since ⬇️

DebinHawaii … I have trouble remembering where I park my car at the grocery store. “Great-headed man, with blinking eye, A shaded road, a horse‘s cry,“ after that I only remember bits & pieces of the rest of it but there is a mention of #Danger: “Where shines a beacon 'cross the sky, Beware, great danger lurks close by.” so it works for today‘s prompt. Trixie is a bit annoying in this one & does some dumb things as does the gang. ⬇️ 1mo

DebinHawaii … So what do they do right after declaring they will stay together as a group to keep safe? They separate of course, giving the inept bad guys yet another chance to try to grab the statue Trixie buys. Speaking of the statue, even the adults are awfully careless with it. But still, I have much nostalgic love for this series & this book (#12 in the series), so it‘s a pick. Next up we go to Cobbett‘s Island, another favorite of my youth. (edited) 1mo

DieAReader 💖Fantastic! 1mo

lauraisntwilder I've been avoiding reading your review until I finished the book myself. You're exactly right about the kids splitting up. So silly. There's a part of me, as a stick-in-the-mud grown-up, that would like to see Trixie get grounded or something. Enough of this "she's been punished enough" or "she's learned her lesson." Obviously not!!! 3w

DebinHawaii @lauraisntwilder Yes! She definitely doesn‘t get held accountable enough! 😡 3w

#ReadYourEBook

I started the tagged yesterday as it‘s next up on my #NetGalley list. I “enjoyed” her other books and am hopeful about this one. I doubt I will get to #12 as I‘m not feeling it but the top 2 stand a chance.

CBee I‘ve heard great things about Ann Cleeves, but haven‘t ever read any of her books 🤷‍♀️ 2mo

January 2025 Book #4
Book 2 in A Year Round Christmas Mysteries series. Read for #CBBC 2025 @Mommamanzi
I liked this book 2 better that the first one. Also predictable but we see more drama, town gossip with funny scenes, expected in cozy mysteries☺️I think I will try book 3⭐️

My prompt #1 is “A First”.
My prompt #12 is “Paperback Crush”.

As always, thank you @TheAromaofBooks ! I hope the move is going ok.

Blob: A Love Story | Maggie Su

Pod Meets World made me do it! It's actually an interesting book, even if the main character hasn't really learned anything by the end. She's on the possibly right road, but there isn't any real growth showing yet. I'm not mad that Rider Strong suggested it. #12-2025
