pickI greatly enjoyed this American mystery classic, as well as finally finishing the selection of the month for #goldenagecrimeclub that I could actually join the discussion! Crane‘s sense of setting makes the reader feel like they are in New Mexico. Lots of great descriptions, red herrings, and quirky characters. I would gladly read book 2 of this series (there are 26!). #192025 #1941
pickWho knew little league Summerball could be so contentious - and deadly??
Fortunately, Meg is there to straighten things out! She, along with Chief Burke and Mayor Randall Shiffley keep Caerphilly running smoothly. It‘s a little stressful that Meg takes on so much, but so satisfying that she and her notebook-that-tells-her-when-to-breathe can get so much done! In this case, cleaning up the ball field (literally and figuratively!)

so-soI chose this book for #TitlesAndTunes #DramaQueen because of its title but it doesn‘t fit the prompt at all 🤷🏻♀️ The drama is real in Segher‘s short story collection, which mostly is about nazism and the war.
In the title story, for example, a woman imagines herself with her old schoolmates on a class trip. She intersperses her descriptions of the children in the years before the war with the lives they grew up to endure. A tough read.
pickI forgot to take a picture of the book before I sent it, but I thought this cover was appropriate with all of Jeeves and Bertie‘s sartorial differences in this one!
So much fun! And as usual poor Bertie lands in the soup multiple times due to the machinations of his nearest and dearest!
It‘s on its way to you @Chrissyreadit ! I‘m so sorry it‘s so late!!!
pickIt took me a long time to reread this - because of life - but I finally managed to complete this, several months past the #GoldenAgrCrimeClub discussion of it! I like Peter Wimsey‘s humor and his deduction practices. He kind of reminds me of Christie‘s Tommy and Tuppence for his spunk and go-get-them attitude, but I admittedly like him more than Tommy and Tuppence. It‘s my goal to continue reading the series! #192025 #1923
pickIt was an absolute delight to revisit this childhood favorite! My siblings and I LOVED this book growing up, and it definitely inspired us to play “Runaway Kids“ a LOT 😂 While I really enjoyed rereading this one, as an adult reader, it left me with SO many questions!! Where are the parents? Why are they scared of the grandpa? Why have they never met him?? I just don't know! So while I did like this one and still think it's a fantastic book for ⬇
