Book 3 down for the #NancyDrewBR ! I‘m actually really enjoying these. I find them relaxing and it‘s nice to get lost in Nancy‘s world and see just how many near-death experiences she can have in one book! 😆

I‘m still trying to catch up for the #NancyDrewBR & just finished book 2. I really enjoyed this one. It wasn‘t quite as cheesy as the last one & the stakes were higher as poor Mr. Drew goes missing. I like Helen & the old ladies & the setting of the old colonial house with hidden staircases & passages. I do find it funny how quickly Nancy is able to get every bad guy to bend to her will & confess. 😆 This was fun! 4⭐️

Librarybelle Yes! The hidden areas of the house were fun to read about! 13mo
Ruthiella When confronted by Nancy Drew, bad guys cave! 😂 13mo
JenlovesJT47 @Ruthiella lol they saved 60 pages by getting the bad guys to cave after talking to Nancy for 2 minutes 😆 13mo

I decided to join the Nancy Drew buddy read but I‘m a year behind & starting at the beginning. I‘ve never read any ND books & it sounded like fun. As a diehard Sweet Valley fan, I can see the appeal of these books, especially nostalgia wise. Nancy is a bit of a Mary Sue character but it‘s oddly fitting for the time period. Other than them giving away the “secret” in the title 😆 I enjoyed the mystery aspect of this & look forward to reading more!

Librarybelle Yay! It is hilarious that so much is given away in the title. 😂 13mo
TorieStorieS Oh this is another one that is so fun that I grew up reading! I have a number of books that are my mom‘s and some of the newer reprints to fill in the gaps! I think the later revival of the series shared some ghost writers with Sweet Valley! Plus, I live not that far from River Forest, IL where the books are set! In fact, both my husband and I got our graduate degrees in River Forest! 13mo

JenlovesJT47 @TorieStorieS ok thank you for telling me what state they were in, it didn‘t say in this one and I was going to Google it before I read the next one. 😆 That‘s so cool! 13mo
JenlovesJT47 @Librarybelle lol right? 😆 13mo
TorieStorieS I‘m not sure which one that says where they are— and they do travel a bit too, but she‘s based in IL! 13mo

I don‘t give out one star lightly but I really hated this book. The main character was annoying, self righteous, rude, whiny, and had zero business inserting herself into a murder investigation. The boyfriend was just as bad (he‘s a cop). The dialogue was corny and the narrator for this was also terrible. My first 1⭐️ book in a few years. 😬

Traci1 That's disappointing. Hope your next one is lots better. 13mo
JenlovesJT47 @Traci1 thanks! Next up is the new Alice Hoffman book which I‘ve been waiting for for awhile so it‘s bound to be better than this 😁 13mo
TorieStorieS I feel like cozy mysteries are either 100% awesome or 100% awful— I don‘t think I have read any that are just okay… seems like a love/hate thing for me! Sorry this was the latter!! 13mo

JenlovesJT47 @TorieStorieS yes I‘ve read 3 duds in the past week because I was looking for spooky audiobooks on Hoopla. I‘m usually better at picking books I know I‘ll like but I only finished them because they‘re short. I really hated this one, though. I think it‘s been a few years since I gave out a 1⭐️ rating because usually I can find at least one redeeming thing in any book! Since you‘re my book twin if you haven‘t read them try the Phryne Fisher series⬇️ 13mo
JenlovesJT47 She‘s the best! And the narrator is excellent. And it‘s set in Australia and I love listening to their accents 😆 13mo
TorieStorieS Ooooo! Thanks for the recommendation!! I do love Australian narrators! Have you listened to anything read by Caroline Lee? She does most of Liane Moriarty‘s books and I think a few of Kate Morton‘s along with some others— I just love her voice and she handles all accents well!! 13mo
JenlovesJT47 @TorieStorieS yes I‘ve listened to a few of hers, she‘s good! I‘m a big Liane Moriarty fan. And if you like Australian audiobooks then try any of Sally Hepworth‘s books, they‘re all really good, especially this one 13mo
TorieStorieS I have that one on my Kindle already! I will have to try to get to it sooner then! I have enjoyed all of the ones of Hepworth‘s that I‘ve read so far, too! Twinning again! 🤣 13mo
JenlovesJT47 @TorieStorieS actually, there‘s a Sally Hepworth one about twins which is the first one I read and I loved it 😁 13mo
JenlovesJT47 @TorieStorieS omg we really are book twins lol 😆🤓 13mo
TorieStorieS I know!! 🤣🤣🤣 13mo

I‘m giving this a soft pick because it‘s easy listening and relaxing. There‘s a good story in there but it gets lost in the corny dialogue. And it didn‘t have much to do with Halloween. Oh well! 3⭐️

This is a cute paranormal mystery/romance set in a paranormal town filled with witches, vampires, demons & a few humans. A witch falls in love with a human but has to deal with the ghost of her ex gf who can‘t leave until her murder is solved. Perfect for this time of year. 4⭐️🎃

Also using this for the book scavenger hunt for fancy font.

This audiobook was very disappointing. The only reason I‘m not giving it a pan is that it might be a tad better to read with your eyeballs. The narrator was terrible. Very corny and made the characters seem like caricatures. 2.5⭐️
