My reading has been going well, but I got a couple books behind on posting so here i go catching up!

This book was a funny middle grade mystery with interesting characters. The priceless clockwork sparrow goes missing but was it an inside job? Maybe the some of the kids working at the store can find out. And does the mystery have anything to do with Sophie's dad? I'm excited to read the next in the series!

#BookMail Pt2 This is another middle grade series I found on Waterstones for Sophie. I‘m trying to give her a broad range of genres to try, I remember being a 7yr old reader who found fantasy & SciFi and felt like the heavens opened on me💫✨👩🏼 a love which I still have today. #raisingreaders #proudnanna

This book was so freaking cute. The mystery was well thought out and there were a few twists I didn't see coming. It was a perfect #middlegrade #mystery for sure. The characters are so wonderfully British and the #audiobook was fantastic! A must read for mystery fans of any age! #springreads #atoz #readingchallenges

Finally signed up for #audible and this is my first pick. It's for one of my reading challenges and none of the libraries had it. Glad I decided to go with the audio version. It's so charming and the narrator is very talented. #springreads #bookchallenges #audiobooks #mystery #middlegrade
