I named my bike, too, but it's name escapes me now. I think it might have been Princess. I used to ride around pretending my bike was a horse, with my white mouse, Snowball (so original!), in the basket. I THINK she enjoyed the ride.joan.kylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17015342608992682333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297469214463185044.post-1555604488227985062016-11-09T11:47:37.775-08:002016-11-09T11:47:37.775-08:00Nancy Drew and the Addams Family -- what a combo! ...Nancy Drew and the Addams Family -- what a combo! Too bad the mystery was a little thin. I like that Gladys rides a bike named Gladys though!Stefaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14943596258182968212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297469214463185044.post-67860246405791298432016-11-07T15:34:00.843-08:002016-11-07T15:34:00.843-08:00Peggy and I seem to agree that this one's not ...Peggy and I seem to agree that this one's not up to snuff.

There were flashes of the old Flavia, but I didn't think it was as oddly charming as others in the series. It must be so hard to write a series and keep it engaging.joan.kylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17015342608992682333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297469214463185044.post-76498491426981720192016-11-06T15:31:04.066-08:002016-11-06T15:31:04.066-08:00Yep, I think we've crossed a line where the re...Yep, I think we've crossed a line where the rest of the series won't quite measure up but I still enjoyed visiting Flavia world. I hated the ending though!Peggy Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00426356514707257708noreply@blogger.com
