In 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙒𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙𝙣’𝙩 𝘿𝙞𝙚, Christina Estes explores the pressures of local news and all it takes to follow instinct over trends. For me, reading is no different. Inspired by Jolene from 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙒𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙𝙣’𝙩 𝘿𝙞𝙚, I had to try my own “spy essentials.” Spoiler: my bag is always armed… with a book. 🕵️‍♀️📖Many thanks to my book bestie for getting me this amazing bag, Christina Estes @reporterestes for sharing what makes up Jolene’s undercover gear and @minotaur_books for a copy of this book for review. Tell me: What’s always in your bag?🔖 #armedwithabook #undercover #bookbag #tote #bookreel #MysteryReaders #bookspy #bookbloggerlife #bookobssesedView all comments
