#Read2025 #SeriesLove2025

Finished this one last weekend for #NancyDrewBR & it was for lack of a better word, fine. I vaguely remember some of it from childhood but not a lot of the details. We had purse snatching, old dolls & a search for the missing father of a young girl who is a talented musician & a good “gypsy” unlike most of the others in the book who are busy stealing & marrying off child brides—yep, it‘s pretty racist. ***#NNK counter⬇️

DebinHawaii …spoiler*** there is no noggin knocking for Nancy & our count remains at 10/24. She does however get poisoned from an old doll but the doctor called is able to quickly identify it by smell & come up with the antidote & after it & a night of sleep Nanners is right as rain & ready for a carnival date with Ned the next night. Anyways, not my favorite again & because I rounded the last one up to pick for nostalgia, I‘ll round this one down to so-so ⬇️ 7d
DebinHawaii …for all the discrimination.🤷🏻‍♀️ Should be a good discussion with the group on 10/15 though & it‘s book #24! 2 years of #NancyDrewBR !!! 🎉 7d

Set in a fictional Nursing Home in Sydney, this novel follows Sri Lankan immigrants Maya and Zakhir, who transformed the home into a sanctuary where “people will be valued.” Decades later, Maya is a resident, while Zakhir‘s disappearance remains unresolved. The flashbacks to war-torn Sri Lanka do complete the book.

Thanks for sending me this Carolyn🤍

BiblioLitten Ah I wish this was in our local library. I suggested it but they said it was not published in Canada. Only Amazon has it. 😑 2mo

Second in the Ill-Mannered Ladies series, this one did not disappoint. I finished on a rainy day of vacation and want to tell the author to hurry up with book #3. #24-2025

#Read2025

This week work is totally kicking my butt so I‘m behind on reviews, book clubs, posting—all the things.😵‍💫

Posting a quick review for this book, my third #Roll100 pick of April (#24 Any short stories or essays). I have been meaning to read this since it came out & overall I really enjoyed it. The stories explore the experiences of Native Hawaiian & mixed race women in Hawaii & are a mix of speculative fiction, horror, magical ⬇️

DebinHawaii …realism & folklore. Some are weirder than others, some I liked more than others but I appreciated the sense of place in all of them. I think having lived in Honolulu for 24 years helped my enjoyment—so a pick for me. 6mo

This one, stories set in Hawaii, is my pick for #FictionalTraveler April #Island & it‘s one of my April #Roll100 picks (#24 Any stories or essays ).

It‘s good incentive since it‘s been in my TBR since I bought a signed copy from a local book store when it was released.

julieclair I like the way you structured your #Roll100 list… “any”. 7mo
DebinHawaii @julieclair I did some of it last year & did the whole thing that way this year. It really works well for my mood reading! 😉 7mo
