Different reaction as an adult but full of good nostalgic memories. I liked these covers. So good to start from book 1 to remember how everything started. As I say, it was viewed from another perspective. Now I think how a middle age child will think about Nancy, who is 18 years old? Have you try these books with younger persons? Do they still read these stories in a world full of technology? Have you recommended these books to your children? ⬇️

Gissy I enjoyed the mystery and of course love Nancy as a female detective. She is 18 years old but in sometimes behave younger. So lovely the relationship she has with her father3.5⭐️

Translated from Russian language. This is a collection of seven (7) dark short stories. They are a mix of science fiction, horror and dystopian. As usually happens with a collection of short stories, some of them are better than others. They are so peculiar with surrealist endings. This is a new author to me and I will say I like her writing style. This is a beautiful edition from Impedimenta Publisher. 4⭐️ ⬇️

Gissy (Cont.) I only criticize that there is no comment at all about the translator, Fernando Otero Macías. It seems that he has translated a vast number of books but I couldn‘t find much about him. I think every translated book should have a comment about the person who translate it. I bought a couple of books from this publisher🤷🏽‍♀️Translation, maybe Icaro‘s gland? Who knows🤔

Book #28 of the year: “A History of Women in America” by Carol Hymowitz and Michaele Weissman

This is an older one, published in 1977, so it‘s missing a few decades. Having been published in the 70s, by Jewish women, about women, it‘s fantastically researched and studded with primary sources. There are undoubtedly more updated versions but the topic is one worth reading more about.

Tattoo #28

A memorial tattoo for my uncle who recently passed.

He loved a local farms' corn. Every year he went there and got the whole family enough corn to last the Winter. We would freeze it and it tastes amazing, even frozen!

On his deathbed, he was hallucinating due to the meds. He told us that he needed to get his Snyder's corn planted in the 100 acre farm he just bought.

So this corn is for you, Uncle. ❤ 🌽

Leftcoastzen What a great story! 8mo

Wowza— it‘s hard to believe that this is the 27th installment of the Andy Carpenter series! As always, I had such fun reading this! Peppered with humor, added with the satisfaction of an early guess at the culprit proven right, this is yet another fun and fast read in what I only recently realized is actually a cozy mystery! Either way, I loved it from start to finish (though the cake knife in the kitchen had CLUE vibes!), and am excited for #28!

TorieStorieS @Monica5 He‘s a little red and blue— a rescue going on 15 this fall! But I don‘t know that I could ever have a non-Heeler again! They are just the best!! Give your puppies a squeeze for me!🥰❤️🥰 9mo

Book #28
4.5/5
I've read all of Flynn's books to date, and thoroughly enjoyed them. Gone Girl was SO much better than the movie made it seem, and I actually found her other books better than Gone Girl. The Grownup is a short story. Flynn's writing is so good at drawing the reader in, and I loved it. My only criticism is that it should not have been a short story!

Kris10H She did such a good job of setting up the main character and storyline, and the way and how quickly it ended just seemed like I was being cheated out of a complete experience. 9mo

I was a little disappointed with the characterization in this one - it lacked a bit in explaining the reason people were so specific in their opinion/perspective. But it was a cute story, and fun, so I'll overlook it.

Was able to read an actual book with pages...lol.
This book wasn't bad, but have read better books by Sandra Brown.
The romancy stuff just isn't for me...
