Doctor No | Ian Fleming

An interesting experiment: read the original Fleming, watch the adaptation starring Connery and then read the P Everett update, and post about your experience!!
Calling the bravest Littens for an arbitrary experiment!!

Amos Decker with FBI partner Jameson to visit her sister/family who recently moved to Barronville Ohio. Vacation turns into a full blown investigation of with murder, drug circles, life insurance fraud, police corruption. Another awesome action packed book in the series.

Children plus dog explore the island in the cove where one of them lives and look for treasure.

Pure nostalgia with the book which is my earliest memory of owning a book. Read in memory of my uncle who gave it to me and who died last week.

Ruthiella Sorry to hear about your uncle. That is a lovely way to commemorate his memory. ❤️ 20h

Dinosaurs Before Dark | Mary Pope Osborne

Mehso-so

Odd experience for me as an adult reader. I love picture books, when you can spend a brief moment in a little story, when consuming the text arguably takes less time than admiring the illustrations.
I enjoy a lot of graphic novels, where the image vs text consumption time is about equal.
But there's something about early reader level chapter books with a smattering of illustrations - it's like the ratio is off. 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? I can and do enjoy image-free books of all lengths, but this, given the size of the font, even split into smaller chapters, set up for a certain reading level, for my personal reading comprehension, it just felt like a poorly-paced short story. 🤷🏼‍♂️
There's no way for me to see its full merit because I'm really not the target audience.
1d
Robotswithpersonality 3/? I enjoy the premise of a magical treehouse that takes you to other times and places via a simple wish and the material in a stock of books, it's a lovely and simple metaphor about the transformative power of reading, complete with little factoids you can learn from reading books, this time about dinosaurs. 1d
Robotswithpersonality 4/? It looks like there are different reader levels within the series, but this is the part where I admit I haven't had the best luck with children's chapter books, reading them as an adult, so this was kind of a Hail Mary to start with. I am glad I got a taste for the nostalgia without having to spend much more than 60 pages in the world. Apologies if I just offended someone on behalf of their childhood faves. 😬 1d
Robotswithpersonality 5/5 Good news, aside from an unrealistically positive view to climbing into strange buildings in trees and the friendliness of dinosaurs to small children, I didn't see anything sketchy in this children's book from 1992, and that's kind of a rarity! 1d

A super cool cancelled envelope from the ALASKAN FRONTIER! @Cheryl_Russell I hope to someday make it to your great state!

TheBookHippie So pretty! 1d
Cheryl_Russell Alaska is our part-time home (mainly summer). Ohio is the other one. I have grandkids in both places. 😍 And I also received your card! 🙂 1d
CrowCAH @Cheryl_Russell that‘s amazing! It‘s not often one hears of a summer home in Alaska! 24h

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4.5/5)

It was very interesting to see what it would be like if Iruma joined the student council! The “villain” of this volume was super annoying so hopefully they don‘t show up again anytime soon 😅
