This book was a little bittersweet since it was written just before the Queen died. It‘s such a fun series though with Her Majesty solving crimes without anyone knowing except her trusty assistant Rozie.

mcctrish I loved this one! I love this series ( and I‘m a bit worried about what comes next - I know a death in diamonds is next and I think there is another book planned - but it‘s series I enjoy so I want it to go on) (edited) 1d

Bookwormjillk @mcctrish I know, same. I have A Death In Diamonds coming soon from the library. Should be interesting. I‘ll miss Rozie though. 24h

mcctrish I just read that Diamonds goes back in time to when the Queen is younger so no Rozie but we get around real life 21h

Bookwormjillk @mcctrish 🤞This is a favorite series so I‘m glad it can go on in some way. 21h

Murder Most Royal (Her Majesty the Queen Investigates 3), by S.J. Bennett (2022)

Premise: Her Majesty‘s Christmas celebrations are interrupted by the discovery of a severed hand on the beach near her Sandringham Estate, a hand bearing a signet ring she instantly recognizes.

Review: This is another solid entry in this charming series. The Christmas vibes were fun, and the setting of the end of 2016 added an interesting element to the story.

May I Bring a Friend? | Beatrice Schenk de Regniers

“'No, no! My friends want you, instead. To come and visit them.' I said.“ This is a fun part of the book to stop and ask students what they think may come next. Throughout the story the character has brought animals to the King and Queen's castle so it will be interesting to hear what the students think will come next.

The colors and images in this book are very detailed and help tell the story that is left out of the writing.

May I Bring A Friend? by Beatrice Schenk De Regniers, 1965. A Caldecott Award Winning Book. This book deals with rhyming and includes bright colorful illustrations that keep children of any age engaged. Students will enjoy the rhymes as well as the detailed illustrations that add to the writing.

Boudica: Warrior Woman of Roman Britain | Caitlin C. Gillespie

pick

Soft pick. I chose this particular book because I wanted to hear Boudica's story from the mouth of a woman who could be critical of sexist sources who used Boudica's story to further their own agendas. In a way, she reveals those agendas and some of their biases. But, for the most part, she simply retells their stories without too much criticism (where it was due). 1/3

bookwyrm7 Perhaps, used to write as a scholar, she hides her own voice, simply wishing to present what is already out there without further critical analysis. Perhaps, it was my own hopes that led to my disappointment. But I still find she missed a few chances to really shine. 2/3 13mo

bookwyrm7 There was a lot of repetition of ideas already mentioned but without exploring these in more detail, for example. She doesn't do a lot more than to point out the obvious a lot of the time.
Still, the book itself is a great way of telling what little there is about Boudica's story. A lot of research seems to have gone into it and I'm glad I read it. I'd definitely recommend it! 3/3 13mo
