Welcome to Litsy!

I've been wanting to reread this series for quite some time, so I was pleased when the first book was chosen as this month's read for the #BakerStreetIrregulars, giving me an excuse to kick off the series reread!! This book was just as funny and entertaining as I remember, with just delightful characters and a romp of a mystery. I remember reading that Peters wasn't intending this to be a series originally, so this one ends with a HEA epilogue ⬇

This was a quite enjoyable book of poetry by a poet local to me (Perth, Western Australia).

Bookchain progress - I read almost all graphic novels and illustrated works for this set. With an emphasis on books with LGBTQIA+ and POC main characters. They were all good but I think my favourites were Saving Sunshine, Fence: Redemption and The Sea in You (a Little Mermaid adaptation).

Soft pick for this MG historical fiction about one of Daniel Boone's daughters, who adopts a cat just before the family heads west to Kentucky. It was a perfectly nice little story, but it covers several years so the pacing was a little odd for a younger reader's book. It also would have been nice to have a note from the author about what was made up for the story and what was based on real life. Not my favorite by Mason - I think I prefer ⬇

I'm pleased with my Bookchain progress!

I was curious to read Yardley's earlier work. This was a contemporary vanilla steamy romance between two restaurant chefs. The conflict/obstacle was mild and not particularly self-inflicted, which I always appreciate. Lots of cooking, and sex in cupboards.

Another #BookChain set completed.

I think I'm in the minority here, but this one just wasn't for me, despite having really enjoyed some of Harper's other books. This story was just relentlessly depressing. With a strong focus on abuse and how that reverberates through a family even when the abuser is gone, plus some bonus content regarding rape, divorce, community ostracizing, depression, suicide, isolation, etc. I was just honestly sad the entire time I was reading this. ⬇

Wow, reading the GR synopsis made me realize that my 1931 edition is LITERALLY an entirely different story from the later version! Maybe that's because this one didn't have a super cohesive mystery. It's mostly Nancy and her friends riding around mountains getting almost eaten by wild animals 😂 I was cracking up at the way some of the situations resolved themselves at the end (wife of husband with amnesia perfectly happy he's coming home with a ⬇

Since I seem to be stuck on number 17, I thought it was time I did an update on my #bookchain progress so far while I wait around for a book of the perfect length to continue the chain. @TheAromaofBooks
