An easy read that satisfies that tickle in your brain that wishes you could go back to a simpler time before adulthood slapped you in the face.

RL Stine was always a go to author for me while growing up, so I had fun digging into the rebooting of his Fear Street series.

This book felt like that campy comfort scary movie that I think we all have.
Reading it just felt like home and it was perfect for the week of spooky season.

AUTUMN CHILLS | Agatha Christie

Mehso-so

My first Agatha Christie because I needed an autumn cover.

I've watched all of the adaptations so it was interesting to read the source material. I approve of the TV series inserting Hastings into everything.

Faranae TV show Hastings is also a huge improvement over book Hastings. Honestly, I like the Suchet Poirot better than the books (yes, yes, pillory me!). 7h

PuddleJumper @Faranae Good Lord! 😂 6h
LiteraryinPA Does this one go by a different name, I wonder? I haven‘t heard of it before. Hopefully that means I‘ve found a new one to read! She‘s one of my favorite authors. 4h
CSeydel @LiteraryinPA I was wondering that, too. 4h
PuddleJumper @LiteraryinPA @CSeydel It's a collection of short stories. It might be a new collection as there's also a winter one 4h

He was angry that the Minister should have agreed to see Annette Oissel alone, an unprecedented action. No Minister ever sees any visitor without an official nurse in attendance. It is recorded that a recent Home Secretary, after laying down office, remarked to his wife, "How nice to be able to talk to you, my dear, without having the minutes taken by a secretary."

Henrietta Who? | Catherine Aird
post image
Pickpick

Doing a re-read of Catherine Aird's Callshire Chronicles. Dating from the late 60's to 80's. She wrote classic British Detective stories. They tend to be very competent and entertaining and are a good option for those who enjoy Agatha Christie. On the negative side her personal politics and opinions do seep into the books and she is comes across as stuffy and Thatcherite.

mabell I‘m rereading them, also! And I‘m in the middle of Henrietta right now! Ha! I love Sloan and Crosby - Poor Crosby 😂 15h

While each book has a murder or missing persons, there‘s an overarching mystery that keeps me coming back. When Sophie‘s body washes ashore, Mila must return to France to care for her stepsister/best friend‘s daughter, Ani. She also takes Sophie‘s job at her stepmother‘s investigative service, leaving behind her life and fiancé back in England. Why were Sophie and her husband out sailing during a storm? So I wait for the next installment.

I'm shocked that I enjoyed this as much as I did. There were places where I giggled. It was truly funny. The serious parts were written without banter. Touching, charming, a good read. I only chose it for the prompt. I would never have picked it up on my own. Good gravy, I love reading challenges. Seven sins in title ##SPNBOOKBINGO2025 @OutsmartYourShelf

OutsmartYourShelf That's a good one for the prompt. Brilliant 🎃🎃 18h
