One thing I love about the series is the different themes that author Daryl Wood Gerber works in via the town’s events, and book clubs is one that will appeal to all readers. The mystery is strong, with some unusual elements that Jenna must figure out in order to solve the case. I felt the suspects are good and kept me guessing as I went along. The climax was a lot of fun and perfectly wrapped things up. There is a large cast of characters, and I love spending time with them. However, at times it can be hard to remember all the connections, so I was thankful for the list of characters at the beginning of the book. My biggest issue is the relationship between Jenna and Cinnamon Pritchett, the chief of police. They are supposed to be good friends, but I don’t see it based on their interactions here. I get why Cinnamon behaves the way she does, but we need to see more of the friendship between them. We got over a dozen recipes at the end, some sweet and some savory, and many of them give us regular and gluten free versions. Fans of Daryl’s other series will enjoy the Easter eggs she slipped into this book; I know I did.

This is the 3rd instalment of the Magical Mystery Book Club, and it is as fantastic as the previous 2. Elizabeth has a way of writing that pulls you in from the get-go and keeps you guessing the mystery all the way through until it's solved. I can't say too much as it would give too much away but most people complain about book clubs, and say they are a bit drab, but I would love to join this one!
Well done, Elizabeth. Another fantastic story. Keep them coming.

Haley Mathiot (9 KP) rated Sock Club: Join the Knitting Adventure in Books
Apr 27, 2018
The special thing about the patterns is this: in the front of the book, Schurch and Parrott give a variety of suggestions and instructions on how to adjust the size of the sock by altering the pattern slightly, or changing the needle size, or the yarn, etc. For each pattern, they give which specific ways work best for resizing for that pattern.
In the back, there are 5 different ways of casting on (sometimes you need a different cast-on for a pattern to make it work), and the instructions and pictures are pretty good. There are other little tips and tricks for technique, like knitting with a circular needles, wrap and turn, suspended bind-off, and finishing techniques. There’s also a sizing chart for men and women, information on yarn types, and a list of sources to find recommended yarn for your new socks.
There are 23 patterns, a million colors you could work with… you realize how many beautiful socks you could make with this book?
Recommendation: This book was designed for the intermediate to experienced knitter. Many of the patters work with lace, cables, bobbles etc. even one with beads, and other more complicated patterning.
Happy Knitting!
