bailedDNF for me. I just could not get into this one - didn‘t particularly enjoy the writing or the story itself. Just wasn‘t my cup of tea.

The 19th installment in the Nancy Drew Mystery Stories series, first published in 1942 under the pseudonym Carolyn Keene, Nancy is drawn into a mystery when she meets a young woman named Ellen Smith, who seeks help in locating a missing half of a treasure map. The premise of a split treasure map and pirate legacy is intriguing, offering a classic adventure that appeals to nostalgic readers of ND. Plus 2 #nnk's! 🤣
pickA view of the Bosnian-Serbian conflict told through the eyes of Muslim woman who suffered unspeakable horrors, became a freedom fighter, and ultimately escaped to Minnesota. Told in alternate timeline chapters, the “quiet librarian” sets out to solve the murder of a dear Bosnian friend.
If you‘ve enjoyed Sepetys‘s books, you‘ll really enjoy this, but it‘s definitely written for grownups.
pickI love Vera Wong!!
Vera is inquisitive, meddling, intelligent, bold, and funny. She likes acting like a helpless old lady, but doesn‘t like being one. She‘s also curious, confident, outgoing, and not always politically correct.
The story captures the characters and the cultural lifestyles and traditions of the group. The plot has some twists and turns, but this story is about more than solving a mystery.
Interesting list! Books I‘ve read (7/100), a few from my TBR, some I‘ve never heard of in my life, and some by authors I have read just not the ones on the list. #TLT
