Encyclopedia Brown Shows the Way
Encyclopedia Brown Shows the Way | Donald J. Sobol
10 posts | 6 read
A ripped-off rattlesnake... A guard dog that has a nervous breakdown... A pickpocket with a pet kangaroo... And a red-haired red herring! These are just some of the ten brain-twisting mysteries that Encyclopedia Brown must solve by using his famous computerlike brain. Try to crack the cases along with him--the answers to all the mysteries are found in the back!

Mehso-so

I‘m late to everything this month. 😩 I managed to solve only one case, but in my defense (do I need one?) some of the solutions relied on inaccuracies, and some relied on selective clues. The Case of the Growling Dog irritated me, and The Case of the Tooth Puller made me queasy. But, half-assed solves aside, this has some of the fun analogies that always make me laugh, so it wasn‘t a total waste of an hour. 🤪 #ebbr

Ruthiella You never need a defense! The solutions are pretty far fetched much of the time. 😅 (edited) 1mo

#Read2025 #SeriesLove2025

I finished this one last Sunday for #EBBR & as usual, pretty much forgot all the cases already & which ones I solved. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I really do need to review them right after I read them or take notes. I do remember that (***Spoiler***) I didn‘t realize that ALL of the animal facts in the one story weren‘t true so I guess I solved it with the🦘but not completely as I thought I was done.🤔Anyway, they remain fun quick reads.

Ruthiella I also got most of The Case of the World Traveler right too. 😃 1mo

Hello #EBBR friends! Did you read this month‘s title and if yes, how did you get on with it?

Overall I liked it but feel the cases don‘t quite hold up quality-wise compared to the earliest ones. The solution to the first story I feel like I have encountered before, in a Colombo episode or something. 😅 The Case of the Girl Shortstop ⚾️ sadden me. I hope today Edwina would be allowed to play on the team.

DGRachel I have really dropped the ball this month. I was late with Nancy Drew and I completely forgot about this one. 🤦🏻‍♀️ The good news is that it won‘t take long to read. I will aim to read it tonight. 1mo
Ruthiella @DGRachel The super short reading time is totally a plus with these books! 👍 1mo

#Naturalitsy #HyggeHourReadathon

Reading the Oct Encyclopedia Brown for #EBBR during #HyggeHour tonight & with my extra time, more of Miss Caroline Bingley, Private Investigator (which is quite charming & fun so far).

Listening to this soundtrack: pov: you‘re Meg Ryan: (for the fall & pretending you are in a 90‘s romcom) that I‘ll link ⬇️

Snacks are this iced tisane (it‘s still hot & humid here) & fall popcorn. Mood: not ready for Monday!

repost for @Ruthiella

Oops! 🙊 I almost forgot to post the #EBBR reminder for October! Hopefully all who plan on reading this next entry in the series either already have their copy or have placed their holds.

Even if the September title wasn‘t my favorite, I always look forward to reading these books each month and remembering how little kid me just loved them.

If anyone wants to be added or removed from the tag list, let me know.

Ruthiella Thank you! 🙏 2mo

I sometimes volunteer at the Kids' Book Bank. One of the perks is that I sometimes get to rescue books that would otherwise be discarded and add them to my personal library. Today, I saved Encyclopedia Brown from "book heaven".

We all know stickers are annoying and kind of gross, but I always think it's cool when my library book still has a card catalog pocket and log sticker. 😎
