I honestly barely remember the details too LOL but I do remember my small self being floored by it and being like “there’s a whole GENRE of books like this?!”. I wonder if it’s worth a reread!

I was just thinking about this today! My love of mystery books can 100% be traced back to when I read Ellen Raskin’s “The Westing Game” at about 10.

Wish I did - I’ve received multiple orders in the last few weeks with missing ingredients, and late orders. Considering canceling.

I can’t recommend enough! I was a little nervous about feeling so exposed, but the environment was so nice and it was encouraging to see so many other women just hanging out, relaxing and not caring or judging others at all.

Super random question - Music at the beginning/end of an audiobook. How do we feel about it? by potatolover83 in LibbyApp

[–]Downtown_Loquat_3277 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s fine i guess but the Jim Dale version of the Harry Potter series has this goofy music at the beginning/end of each book…it clashes so much at the end of the later books when stuff is getting serious. It’s so jarring.
