Thirteen Little Blue Envelopes was an interesting story, to say the least. It was the first novel by Maureen Johnson that I've read and is completely out of my normal genre realm. I usually read mysteries, thrillers, and a lot of fantasy and horror. But, I found this book on clearance at a store and...
This book follows Ginny (Virginia) as she follows her aunt's mysterious instructions, left in numbered envelopes, on an adventure across Europe. It's a great little idea for a story, but I don't think it was quite pulled off in this book, it often felt like a travel guide with bits of story squeezed...
So I’m well aware that this book has been out forever but I just got to it now and I have to say it was an adorable story. I’m not 100% sure what the point of the envelopes were and I wasn’t a fan of the abrupt ending, but all in all a cute story that was a fun, quick read.The book is about Ginny, a...
Inside little blue envelope 1 are $1,000 and instructions to buy a plane ticket. In envelope 2 are directions to a specific London flat. The note in envelope 3 tells Ginny: Find a starving artist. Because of envelope 4, Ginny and a playwright/thief/ bloke–about–town called Keith go to Scotland toget...
13 LITTLE BLUE ENVELOPES What a very interesting title! And that's what makes me want to read it. This just really seems to be so interesting. I so love love his book! GAAAAAAA! What i wouldn't give for a summer visiting London, Paris, Rome, Amsterdam, Edinurgh, Copenhagen, Germany and Greece ? Tak...
Temporarily free on Kindle. I'd heard of this one, unlike the other temporarily free books I've picked up unrecommended, but it was no more satisfying than they. Interesting idea; depressingly passive execution.
http://lisleslivres.blogspot.com/2012/12/review-13-little-blue-envelopes-by.htmlRead this while touring Europe:)Characters: Ginny is a really sweet girl. She starts off seeming kinda shy, but dives into the adventure headfirst, which I really admire. Keith is a cute character. He's British, funny...
A fun idea for a plot, even if rather unlikely, and most of it was pretty well executed. However, it really annoyed me that Maureen Johnson referred to the "midnight sun of Copenhagen" no less than three times. Such a thing doesn't exist, and it made me seriously wonder where else she had skipped ou...
This was pretty neat. I actually read this on the way home from the UK (with a side trip to Paris) so I was able to relate to Ginny as she explored a few of these places. Not a lot, but her first three stops were where we went, so I thought it was cool that I had seen what she did. So I had thought ...
