Pickpick

#Read2025 #SeriesLove2025

Finished earlier in the week for #NancyDrewBR
This one did not seem familiar to me, so is it a reread or not? Hmmm… 🤔 Anyway, not my favorite book, but still a pick for nostalgia. This one (I read the 1973 version) is set in a little seaside town, drivable from River Heights. Again, where is River Heights because I keep reading Midwest? Maybe it‘s a lake beach town?🤷🏻‍♀️ Anyway Nanners & her girls are there to ⬇️

DebinHawaii … meet/help Mr. Drew‘s client & they stumble into a couple of mysteries, one involving a ghost & the other perfume/cosmetics/investment fraud. I like a good small sea town setting, but there was too much Ned in this one for me. If the drive for Nancy & friends was a long one, how is Ned in the neighborhood as a insurance salesman none the less? It sends a stalkerish vibe & Nancy “needs” or gets a lot of rescuing from him in this one. 🙄 ⬇️ (edited) 12h
DebinHawaii … ***Small noggin spoiler*** There are no blows to the head in this one, so no #NNK count & we are still 10/23 however there is “drugging” with mysterious fumes which can‘t be good for her head either ( it hopefully explains her disheveled look on the cover).🤕 There‘s also little people bad guys (called “dwarves & elves”)😳that are an interesting but needless addition. 🤷🏻‍♀️

… All in all it will make for interesting #NancyDrewBR discussion.

Ruthiella River Heights is like Dr. Who‘s TARDIS. It magically has everything you might need- a ferry, a castle, TWO synthetic fiber factories…😂 10h

dabbe I love that line “pick for nostalgia“. That's how I mostly feel rereading these books. 9h
Librarybelle It should be a fun discussion! (edited) 9h

#Naturalitsy #HyggeHourReadathon

Tonight‘s #HyggeHour is being spent with Nancy Drew for #NancyDrewBR I feel like Nancy looks pretty disheveled on this cover, so here‘s hoping her head is okay!😉#NNK

I‘m drinking blueberry lemonade because it‘s been overly muggy this weekend & I‘m trying Dubai chocolate for the first time because I finally saw it in small bars that don‘t cost $15.

Mood is sad the weekend is over & it‘s a full workweek. 😵‍💫

AllDebooks I hope you manage to snatch some time for some mini-hygge moments during the week. X 6d
Librarybelle Ha! I suppose it could also be the tolling bells making her head feel achy 😂 6d

Chrissyreadit I wish i could figure out why mondays are always so jarring 💛 and i love my job. 6d
TheBookHippie Oh I love that lemonade!!! How was the chocolate? 6d
peaKnit I have tried the chocolate, would love to hear what you think! 6d
Bookperson96 Makes me want to try Dubai chocolate again. Only tried it once (a couple months ago) in form of a Cronut (fyi: a cronut is a crossing between a donut and croissant) from Dunkin Donuts. 6d
DebinHawaii @Librarybelle Right?! 🤕🤣🤣🤣 6d
DebinHawaii @AllDebooks @Chrissyreadit Thanks! Some days I love mine too! 😉🤣 6d
DebinHawaii @TheBookHippie @peaKnit @Bookperson96 I‘d tried the flavor/style in other things but kept seeing the actual chocolate bars for $13-15 which is pretty steep, especially if I wasn‘t sure I‘d like it. This little bar was very sweet but enjoyable—the pistachio was very creamy & I liked the crispness of the kadayif (shredded filo strands). I‘d buy another little bar sometime or try another brand (I hear Lindt has one) just not at those prices. 😉 6d

I‘ll probably never get reviews posted for August, I‘m still behind for July but I managed to read 20 books, which surprised me given my schedule & energy level for the month. Many were short books & I made 8 day trips in the month which gives me about 90 minutes per trip of reading + airport commute time.

Finished books for #SundayBuddyRead #SheSaid #NancyDrewBR #BobWhiteBuddies #EBBR #CampLitsy2025 #ChildrensClassicRead2025 #AuthorAMonth ⬇️

DebinHawaii #ThematicCozies #FictionalTraveler #Roll100 #SeriesLove2025 & some assorted #BOTM & Kindle Challenges 5 were audiobooks & 9 were library books (print & ebook). Favorites were Tilt, Listen For the Lie, King of Ashes, The Compound & Wedding People 6d
TheBookHippie WOWOWOWOWOW!!! That‘s impressive! 6d

3✨ Another mystery of a missing person. Nancy is to look for a sister who is to inherit a home before the time runs out on the offer. As always Nancy, Bess and George find themselves in trouble, and Ned is away for school so he can‘t save them! Monica enjoyed cuddling while I enjoyed a seasonal treat. 🥰 #DogsofLitsy @Librarybelle #NancyDrewBR

3✨ Nancy finds herself in another mystery after she almost runs into someone standing in the middle of the road on a stormy night. More fakes being made of priceless pottery. Not a bad story. #NancyDrewBR @Librarybelle

Roary47 Wait… did I read the wrong one! 😱 2w
Librarybelle You‘re a little ahead, but no worries! We‘re doing the Tolling Bells this month. I‘m about to post the reminder! 2w
