Ozzie is absolutely transfixed by the bold squirrel on the deck right out the window. Thankfully right before I took the picture he moved off my book so I can read.

This was perfectly okay, but not great. It didn‘t feel focused, and Flavia seemed to be so full of herself and sure of her superiority to others. I will probably give it one more chance. Since I finished this on my #audiowalk, I started The Seven Sisters.

The police are incredibly stupid here. Not that I have any clue who the murderer is, but Flavia just had to point out something pretty obvious. It was such a gorgeous day today! We went downtown to a weekend market that was going on at the same time as Pride Fest, so two for one! 😊 #audiowalk

So I‘m about half way through this. My problem with the series is how absolutely mean Flavia and her sisters are to each other — all the time. Otherwise, I‘m enjoying the books. SC had some bad flooding from Helene; one side of the river walk is completely closed. This side, however, is open, so I got a 3 mile walk in. #audiowalk


I do really like Flavia De Luce. I was just in the mood for her lately and I like that I‘m at the beginning ish end of a long list of books to enjoy. Probably my favorite part of this one is the terrible relationship between her and her sisters and how they torture each other (sometimes literally!) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Flavia de Luce #2 is my new walking book. I‘m up in South Carolina right now, so I was walking along the river. #audiowalk

Today's #CoverLove!
I don't know if I got to this one in the series-I kinda bailed after a while. Don't know why, I seem to remember enjoying them. 🤷♀️

2nd in this 3 book bundle. I‘m not sure I like Flavia; she‘s precocious and always concocting poisons to try out on her older sisters. She‘s perspicacious and empathetic. She seems to live in an endless summer in an ideal English countryside near Brontë country in the 50s; no mention of school, teachers etc yet. Lots of colourful chemical reactions lovingly described - I don‘t know how accurate they are - and where does she get her reactants from?

Flavia is always a pick. I've been slowly re-reading this series over the last few years, but I need to speed up so that I'm ready for the new book coming out this fall.
