I'm trying to read so many books this month. I'm not really sure why I'm setting the bar so high, but here's my 1st book for Dec. I'm just about out of Trixie books and am going to have to scour the Internet for the rest of the series. This one had an absurd chapter involving a burned field of marijuana, which left the kids smelling like they'd been smoking it. Dan confronting Trixie and Honey for smoking pot was not something I was expecting! 😆

Ruthiella Wow! 😮 I‘m a little shocked that was allowed in? 4d

My rather battered copy of this book - it's one of the first Trixie books I ever read, as it is one of the few that my aunt had on her shelf when I was little!!

We jumped from fall in the last book to summer break in this book, but you'll have that 😂 This was another fun Sleepyside mystery, although it did feel like there were a lot of moving pieces. And I never figured out how the drug boss ended up owning the flower store 😆 But I enjoyed ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) the banter, teamwork, and even the setbacks in this one. Although like @DebinHawaii pointed out, it felt a little ridiculous that Dan (and others) immediately assumed the BobWhites must have been smoking pot. I mean, seriously haha

Any thoughts, friends? We are now halfway through the series! After this we start getting into books I only read once, or some not ever! My library only had through book 19 haha I've now managed to collect ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) all of them except the final book (39 - The Mystery of the Galloping Ghost), which I cannot find for under $80!!!

lauraisntwilder The Manton/Finley thing didn't quite make sense, I agree. I think my favorite part was Dan freaking out when Honey and Trixie smell like marijuana. He was so sure they'd been smoking! 😆 4d
BookmarkTavern Yeah, I agree, the pot thing seemed a little “after school special warning.” And I wanted a little more backstory about the flower store. But I always really enjoy when Dan gets to show off a little, like his own investigative skills or his repair work on the pump! (edited) 4d

#Read2025 #SeriesLove2025

Finished last weekend for #BobWhiteBuddies Book 19 has summer holidays starting & a new mystery or mysteries for Trixie & the gang to solve. This one stays close to home with the Bob-Whites helping out a neighbor whose garden business is being sabotaged. There‘s also stolen mail & of all things ***BIG spoiler alert*** a hidden marijuana field & it made me laugh that when it is burnt to hide the evidence, the gang ⬇️

DebinHawaii … comes home smelling of it & people start freaking out. Like the Bob-Whites would ever smoke pot!?! 😂 Also, & I say this with love, does Dan know EVERY low-life criminal in NYC & how do they all end up in Sleepyside?!? But anyway, I don‘t remember this one sticking out to me growing up but it was good. I do like seeing Dan involved in the stories. He needs less work & more mystery “fun.” (edited) 5d

The Bob Whites get swept into another mystery when someone attempts to sabotage widowed Mrs Elliot‘s flower selling. Everything becomes worse when it seems her stepson knows more than he‘s telling.

A very interesting, more personal mystery. Trixie & the gang help out a neighbor, make some new friends, Dan gets to shine, & things don‘t always go right w/ the investigation, but the whole team always operates w/ good intentions.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

#Naturalitsy #HyggeHourReadathon

Spending my #HyggeHour on the couch with Trixie & the gang for #BobWhiteBuddies

Snacking on stuffing popcorn tonight, along with this apple chai cider sparkling water.

My mood is sad that weekends are too short & it‘s another busy week cumulating in a 2-day retreat meeting that I‘m not looking forward to at all, but maybe that will make the week go by more quickly. 😬

TheBookHippie Stuffing popcorn!!! Hope the week goes quickly! 3w
TheAromaofBooks Enjoy!! 3w

#TBT Almost every time I go to my parents' place, I spend some time looking at the lovely shelves I grew up with. I'm so thankful that my parents encouraged me to read: buying a set of encyclopedias, taking us to the library, buying books for xmas, letting me read all day Sunday...

top L: encyclopedias & huge dictionary I spent many hours reading as a child

bottom L: where was this gigantic thesaurus all my life? 😍

bot R: more childhood faves!

sudi Wow they look great💙, i always wished i had an entire set of encyclopedias when i was a child 😃 8y
charl08 Me too: but not such tidy shelves! 8y
KellyHunsakerReads Oooh... I see Trixie!!! 8y

TK-421 @sudi @griplitgrl Thanks! It's something I cherish, even more so now that print encyclopedias are all but obselete. I think Brittanica stopped printing 5 or 6 years ago, moving online. Looks like World Book is still publishing gorgeous print volumes, along with providing an online service, but how long will they continue printing? 8y
TK-421 @Hunsakermountain I really need to bring the Trixie Belden & Nancy Drew books home so I can reread them! 8y
Reviewsbylola I do this at my parent‘s too! 8y
