#BookReport

I‘ve had quite the reading week.

I finished The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches., this month‘s chapters of Revelation #ShardlakeBR, and A Sunny Place for Shady People

I read The Wispering Statue

I‘m continued The Christmas Bookshop on audio

I‘m currently reading both The Christmas Tree Farm and A Christmas Carol.

I love that I‘m finally getting to my Christmasy reads just in time for Christmas 🎄

I am torn between „Yay, finally the two mysteries in tge story actually do have something to do with each other and do not seem to be constructed to create more suspension.“ and „The used violence is completely unnecessary, unbelievable and over the top.“ I loved the storyline about the book collection though.

Librarybelle The book collection part was interesting! 5d

Finally, a Nancy Drew I remember from childhood! All the drama and mystery you'd expect, and Nancy even gets kidnapped and stuffed into a statue! I can truly do without the derogatory remarks about Bess's weight; in fact, this is a much better quote that characterizes her: “Will it be a nice straight mystery, or one that's going to scare the wits out of me?“ This one's a mixture of both, Bess. A fun read with the #NancyDrewBR and @Librarybelle

Librarybelle Yay! I‘m glad this one was better than the last couple in the series! 5d

Definitely the best Nancy Drew we've had in a minute. This one had more of the regular level of ridiculousness 😂 Favorite parts included the police acting very clever because they determined that two masked men who attempted to break into the house at the same time were working together; the girls acting like sitting behind empty picture frames was a brilliant hiding spot; literally everyone not only knowing how to sail but being really great ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) at it; and Nancy's magical disguise-wig that seemed to stay on no matter what! This one reminded me of why I enjoyed these books so much when I was growing up - there were also some scary moments and the chapter cliffhangers always have me wanting to read more.

As always, thanks for hosting @Librarybelle !!!

I enjoyed the story and discussion with the #NancyDrewBR group. I'd read the 1937 edition and I love the cover. It did feel very dated, however. Another car runs into Nancy's, and it costs her only $5 to get the bumper repaired!

I feel I have to explain that there was a naughty dog in the story, and not that this was a “naughty“ book. 😄

It‘s time for our #NancyDrewBR discussion, #LittenDetectives ! I have 5 questions posted as spoilers that can be found on my feed, the book‘s feed, or by searching the group‘s hashtag.

Another book, another big difference between the editions! However, next month has only minor differences, so it should be easier for us to discuss! I‘ll post the official reminder for The Haunted Bridge tomorrow.

Thanks for reading with me!

CogsOfEncouragement Thanks for hosting! 6d
