My friend decided to try out Expedition Everest, which makes me feel nauseous 🤣 so I sat in the shade and read a chapter or two! #readeverywhere

mabell Not up for the Yeti? 🤣 12h
BarkingMadRead @mabell I used to love it! I even rode it at mile 13 of the Disney marathon 🤣 last couple years, it makes me feel queasy afterwards, so it‘s just not worth it anymore 11h
mabell Well most roller coasters are too much for me, so I haven‘t ridden it once! I can‘t believe you rode it mid marathon! 😂 2m

I love this series and was so happy to have it selected for #bakerstreetirregulars. I have read the whole series in print and on audio multiple times. It does require accepting the racist, colonialist, sexist, and classist viewpoints as belonging to the historical setting. That aside, it‘s a fun romp through late 19th century Egypt, with entertaining characters, mystery, adventure, and a touch of romance.

DGRachel Also, Barbara Rosenblat does an amazing job narrating the entire series. She is Amelia Peabody in my brain. 4d
Shemac77 I love this series as well! Amelia Peabody is a favorite. 4d

Ruthiella @DGRachel Agree ! Rosenblat is fantastic. Her accents are impeccable. Every character is distinct sounding. 4d
StayCurious I‘ll have to try on audio as well! 4d
DGRachel @StayCurious Make sure you get Barbara Rosenblat‘s narration. There is a second audio version with a different narrator and I did not enjoy it. 4d

I've been wanting to reread this series for quite some time, so I was pleased when the first book was chosen as this month's read for the #BakerStreetIrregulars, giving me an excuse to kick off the series reread!! This book was just as funny and entertaining as I remember, with just delightful characters and a romp of a mystery. I remember reading that Peters wasn't intending this to be a series originally, so this one ends with a HEA epilogue ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) but I'm definitely planning to reread the other 19 books in the series as well. Is it because I'm using this as an excuse to slowly purchase all of them in these gorgeous editions? No comment 😂

I rather enjoyed this tale of archeological times in the late 1800's. The characters grew and I loved the leading lady who told the story. This was a great read for #BakerStreetIrregulars #BuddyRead. Our discussion at the end of the month should be interesting. @StayCurious @CatLass007 One Bingo Spot for #ISpyBingoApril #ReadAway24 @Clwojick @TheAromaofBooks @Andrew65 @DieAReader @GHABI4ROSES

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! I finished this one today as well. My understanding is originally this was going to be a standalone, but Peters went on to write another 19 books about these characters!! I read this whole series a few years ago and loved it. 1w
