For me, my algorithm is all about books so it keeps showing me book recs and reviewsJack King 2 wrote: ↑02 Mar 2023, 18:56
What drew you to the books? Did you have friends who had read and recommended it?
I came across it on tiktok and i’d say, it's definitely worth it!

- Latest Review: Coming Full Circle: Healing Trauma Using Psychedelics by Shannon Duncan
The "Secret Seven" series is about a group of child detectives and I think this series was aimed at a younger audience if I remember correctly. "Famous Five" was the series I started reading shortly thereafter and it definitely became a firm favourite for me and really sparked my appetite for adventure, which has never left me! I also loved Enid Blyton's "The Faraway Tree" - do you remember that one? A little later in childhood, it was Roald Dahl's books, as well as the Narnia series, that had me hooked.Jack King 2 wrote: ↑03 Mar 2023, 05:27I read a lot of the Famous Five when I was younger, for some reason I don't think I ever picked up any of the Secret Seven series.

And bought our pretty crowns, but never paid the price
Find me in the river, find me there
Find me on my knees with my soul laid bare
