Finished my #ThematicCozies

I enjoy this series and I felt like the full cast of characters were portrayed really well in this one. I‘m looking forward to continuing this series.

The Wheel Spins | Ethel Lina White

The Wheel Spins aka The Lady Vanishes - this was a lot of fun! I've never seen the movie but would like to check it out. The MC wasn't very likeable but it's impossible not to sympathize with her distress. I liked how the overheard conversation between Hare and the professor, about the effectiveness of juries and reliability of witnesses, set a theme for how the journey would play out.

inthegreensandblues Thanks for selecting this book, @JenlovesJT47! I'm not sure I'd have ever picked it up if not for this buddy read. 36m

WOAH NELLY!! This was an intricately-woven mystery that had me guessing til the very end. Really satisfying and really clever. The author set a hard task for herself with bouncing back and forth amongst sooo many timelines, but it totally worked. The hype is real!!!

Also, day off! I am getting my car checked out (leaky tire?) and reading the next Smiley at the cute local coffee shop I should really patronize more. Other exciting plans for the day are buying a broom and neverending laundry.

Ruthiella I would love such an exciting day! 😂 5h
Aims42 Oooo, a new broom is almost as exciting as a new kitchen sponge in my world 😂👍 5h

What a tricky plot, I definitely didn‘t see this end coming. But so didn‘t Poirot - at least for a long time.
While travelling Scotland, I only able to listen to audiobooks so far, even though I brought Scottish literature as well. 🙈

This resolved everything from the last book, which I was happy about, but I didn‘t expect to be so absolutely blown away - this is my favorite of the series thus far. I love Gamache, but I also like that despite his kindness, his brilliance, he is human and makes mistakes. It showed a whole different side of him and now I love him even more ♥️ #readyourkindle

Madame Badobedah | Sophie Dahl

I‘m about to whistle through some picture books by celebrity authors for #BBRC. Count yourself warned.

This was gorgeous and gorgeously odd. One of those where the pictures couldn‘t be more perfect for the text. A tale to read aloud for older picture book readers (5-8 maybe).

A mysterious old lady comes to stay in Mabel‘s parents B&B. Despite a rocky start, they end up sailing pirate ships, meeting mermaids, and becoming firm friends.

rockpools Does Sophie Dahl count as a celebrity author? I knew of her as a TV chef & Roald Dahl‘s granddaughter. She used to be a model. She‘s done been a journalist and author for years, apparently. This definitely has elements of the Dahl weirdness, but is really quite touching. 9h
LibrarianRyan Lovely. I still have about 10 pages of reviews from last month on the same thing. I was just readying them to post after lunch. Hope you have been reading some good ones.

3/5 stars for this “Barely a Bitsy” (just made it !) level in #ChunksterChallenge2025. I liked it well enough. I did. It just seemed … bloated. The action takes place over a 14-day period and it felt like I was reading every minute in real time. I did enjoy the descriptions of the Tudor period, though. Perhaps I‘ll pick up a nonfiction history of the era next. I‘ll probably continue with the series, but I‘m not in a hurry to do so.

Cuilin Perfect description, I‘m halfway and only a few days have passed. 10h
