#Read2025 #SeriesLove2025

Finished a few weeks ago for #EBBR & as usual I returned my library book before doing a review.🤷🏻‍♀️I have to go with the others who think this one was a bit “meh.” I didn‘t find any of the mysteries that great or memorable except for Smelly Nellie which I did get correct, not because I know much about whales but because I caught a detail in the reading. I missed the ones about space & the axe handle but got the rest.

Ruthiella That‘s a pretty good solve ratio. But I have already forgotten if ambergris floats or not! 😅 3w

A little blah. None of these were particularly fun and a couple required more specialized knowledge, which I find unfair in a children‘s mystery collection. Adult me doesn‘t know some of this. Little me definitely would not have. Other than the drunk birds, which I found cruel, this was…fine? I don‘t mind being wrong or unable to guess the solution as long as the cases are fun. This was missing the lighthearted fun I‘ve come to expect. #ebbr

Ruthiella Yeah, this one was a bit of a miss for me too. Hope next month‘s title is back on track! 🤞 3w

Hello fellow armchair detectives! What did you think of this month‘s #EBBR selection? No doubt 10 year old me would have enjoyed this as much as any of the previous ones, but old lady me found the cases a little lackluster…maybe a tad uninspired?

I missed a few as usual, though how anyone who is not a whale 🐳 aficionado would know anything about ambergris is beyond me. 😂

Read4life I completely agree with your assessment. I‘m glad young me never considered giving up on the series because this one was lacking. 3w

Ruthiella @Read4life I read completely uncritically as a child! It was almost a compulsion. 3w

Sace I‘ve already forgotten pretty much all of the cases 😂 3w

Sace Oh I take that back the Apple Cider case is one that I‘ll probably remember. Not the solution mind you but the drunk birds. 3w

Ruthiella @Sace It‘s funny what we remember and what we don‘t. I don‘t remember the solution to that one either. 😂 3w

DGRachel I agree. I just finished and none of them were particularly fun. I “solved” 3 out of 10, and got the first one 1/2 right - I knew the clue was in the gifts, but I know squat about skiing and so had no idea that ski wax was only for snow skis. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 3w

Ruthiella @DGRachel There was a lot of specialized knowledge in this set of mysteries. 🤓 3w

#Naturalitsy #HyggeHourReadathon

For tonight‘s #HyggeHour I‘m reading the latest Encyclopedia Brown book for #EBBR & then catching up on a cozy mystery with my remaining time. I‘m hydrating (it‘s humid) with Hint watermelon water & noshing on this cute Neko Pan (bread with strawberry cream filling).

Mood is tired. Shoulder is still sore & I‘m not ready for Monday. 😵‍💫
