Mystery of the Blinking Eye

Trixie Belden and the Mystery of the Blinking Eye | Kathryn Kenny

pick

I enjoyed April's #BobWhiteBuddies read even if it did feel a little ridiculous 😂 I also kind of wanted to hear from the fortune teller again! It was fun to meet back up with some friends from an earlier book, and super nice that Dan actually got to come be a part of the club! I thought it was interesting that his NYC knowledge played a part in rescuing Trixie. My biggest issue with this one was Trixie going off to meet the bad guys on her own ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) I mean seriously. I also got slightly confused by the ending - why did they call to tell her about the diamond...?!??! But still, it was a fun adventure. The banter and fun between the club members is still entertaining to me and feels realistic. Also, could I get a biography of Miss Trask please??

Any thoughts from my fellow readers this month?? 5h

I have decided not to look into who actually wrote each of these, so I can go in blind and hopeful. This one was better than the last one, but there's still a change in the way Trixie is written that I don't enjoy as much. It was fun that the kids from Iowa came to visit & I enjoyed the descriptions of 1960s NYC. I kept forgetting Dan was actually with the group this time though. Whenever he spoke, I'd think, Dan? Who is Dan? 😂 #bobwhitebuddies

Finished this weekend for #BobWhiteBuddies there is always a chance of #Danger when Trixie Belden is around. This one was a favorite growing up probably because of the NYC setting & finally, Dan gets to go somewhere! (Granted it‘s within state lines but anyway…) I can still recite the first 2 lines of the fortune Trixie is given by a fortune teller she helps at the airport which is pretty impressive since ⬇️

DebinHawaii … I have trouble remembering where I park my car at the grocery store. “Great-headed man, with blinking eye, A shaded road, a horse‘s cry,“ after that I only remember bits & pieces of the rest of it but there is a mention of #Danger: “Where shines a beacon 'cross the sky, Beware, great danger lurks close by.” so it works for today‘s prompt. Trixie is a bit annoying in this one & does some dumb things as does the gang. ⬇️ 1w

DebinHawaii … So what do they do right after declaring they will stay together as a group to keep safe? They separate of course, giving the inept bad guys yet another chance to try to grab the statue Trixie buys. Speaking of the statue, even the adults are awfully careless with it. But still, I have much nostalgic love for this series & this book (#12 in the series), so it‘s a pick. Next up we go to Cobbett‘s Island, another favorite of my youth. (edited) 1w

lauraisntwilder I've been avoiding reading your review until I finished the book myself. You're exactly right about the kids splitting up. So silly. There's a part of me, as a stick-in-the-mud grown-up, that would like to see Trixie get grounded or something. Enough of this "she's been punished enough" or "she's learned her lesson." Obviously not!!! 13h

DebinHawaii @lauraisntwilder Yes! She definitely doesn‘t get held accountable enough! 😡 9h

#Naturalitsy #HyggeHourReadathon

Spending my #HyggeHour with Trixie & the gang for #BobWhiteBuddies & enjoying this cocoa custard Easter Bunny roll as my snack with tea. I‘m excited about this one (book 12) in the series because I remember the first 2 lines of the fortune Trixie gets when the Bob-Whites go to NYC.

Not looking forward to it being Monday tomorrow although this is a no-travel week for me, so hopefully a bit calmer.

Growing up, I wanted to be a #Detective & solve crimes like my heroes. Since it didn‘t happen, I spend a little part of each month getting nostalgic with Nancy Drew, Trixie Belden, & Encyclopedia Brown. Here‘s the April books for #NancyDrewBR #BobWhiteBuddies & #EBBR
