I yearn for the chaos of a good heist novel. I want titillating banter, blueprints, master plan exposition, comedy. Bonus points if there’s some enemies/rivalry to lovers romance involved. I’m thinking along the lines of Leverage, Firefly, Hustle (the tv show not the Adam Sandler movie) the banter between dynamic characters, complex backstories and maybe they’re a bit rough around the edges but over all loveable.
Or, if a heist cannot be arranged, a good mystery with some brevity and wit. Something that doesn’t take itself too seriously.
Books I’ve loved that come to mind:
Throw me your recs pleaaaase

This book was wholesome and sweet and hard hitting all in one. I love a fluffy little romance and this hit all the notes for me.

This was a delight of a novella! I felt sucked into the world and really enjoyed the way the characters bounced off each other. Adrian is a master of work building and character dynamics

Last year I decided to finish a series from my childhood that I never finished back then. I think I read the series in like 7th grade or something. It was the shadow children series by Margaret Peterson Haddix. And it has me thinking maybe I should do that with other series I don’t think I finished back then so I might do another one this year.
Anyway what are yalls favorite books or series from like age 7 to like 13 ish? I love love love nostalgia.
I liked the Guardians of Gahoole series, Because of Winn Dixie, The Tale of Desperaux, I definitely read a ton of the magic tree house books too. Also don’t ask why, but I think I checked out this thick ahh book from my public library about dog breeds like 3 summers in a row. I know way too much about dogs bc of that.

I wish I could say I loved this book but honestly I think this has been my least favourite of Gregg Olsen’s work so far. It felt exceptionally opinionated and biased, rather than telling the story from a factual POV. I appreciate that the author likely wanted to paint a clear image of Sharon and I’m in no way sympathising with her, but much of the opinion felt like the author’s own, not those of the people impacted. Perhaps there is nuance missed because of the audiobook, but there also seemed to be a lot of gratuitous detail. I am now going to cringe every time I see ‘special sauce’ listed on a menu. Thanks for that.
I do want to look into the case of Sharon Nelson more, so there’s that I suppose.
