April 10th's Friday Post

We did it!  We've reached another Friday.  Let's celebrate with this week's Friday Post, where I will be linking up to:

Book Beginnings
First Line Friday
Friday 56
Book Blogger Hop

This week, my teasers will be coming from The Ninja's Illusion by Gigi Pandian.


This is the fifth novel in her Jaya Jones Treasure Hunt Mysteries.  I finished it up last week, and I enjoyed it.

Here's how the book begins:

I'm better at finding lost treasures than a phone buried in the bottom of my bag. Handwritten notecards for my lecture. A granola bar squished nearly as thin as a hand-pressed sheet of parchment. A magnifying glass. But no phone.

If she's that desperate to find her phone, I'm sure the phone call she needs to make is important.  Right?

Meanwhile, on page 56, we find this:

"What's the deal with his accident. Was it sabotage as well?"
"I don't think so," Sanjay said.
I waited for him to elaborate, but he didn't.
"What happened" I prompted.
"You don't want to know."

My review of this book will be up on Thursday, so I hope you'll come back and see what I thought.

For now, let's jump over to the Book Blogger Hop.  This week's question is:

 If you could revisit one of your past reviews, what would you change, and why?

Well, I actually did that just about 5 weeks ago.  I've been wanting to go back and update my review of Scream VI, so I did that after watching Scream 7.

As far as book reviews go, a lot of my older reviews are shorter now and don't reflect my current reviewing style.  But I think I'd have to reread the book to really be able to do justice to a new review, or even an updated review, of the book.  And, with so many new books calling my name, I just don't have time for that.  For the most part, I'm okay with them, although I don't go back through them very often.

Have a great weekend!

  1. I’ve been blogging since 2010, and it’s amazing how much has changed over the years. I’m slowly going back through my older reviews, especially now that my theme has changed and some of the headers need a refresh.

  2. Oh the search in the purse/bag! Anyone can identify with this (I immediately thought, "Did I put my keys back in my purse???")

    Thank you for posting

  3. This sounds intriguing! My first line is "When the woman strolls by the Cairo Museum right in front of Noura Marquette, cool as a cucumber despite the heat, Noura is certain she's mistaken."
