pickCraziness, as in people out of control. A Mormon elder is murdered at his church and all his secrets come out. Linda, the Bishop‘s wife and Curt, the Bishop, find his body. In the process of the duties to the church they become involved in finding the murderer. Lots of action and creepiness, but also a few moments of humor.
pickThe old mansion, & its mysterious inhabitant, down the lane from Trixie‘s home becomes the source of Trixie and Honey‘s summer adventures.
It‘s been so long since I read these stories. & they are just as much fun as I remember. I love all the characters so much, and the setting is just charming. My mom lent me her old copy, & she was so delighted to hear other people had read these books. Can‘t wait to keep going! 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
panThe book opens with Steve Archer returning home in the morning having woken up in a strange bed, only to find the police at his apartment ready to arrest him for the murder of his boyfriend, Coy. The bulk of the book is a flashback telling how this all came about (which I did not realise for quite a while and was thus terribly confused), and the final 20-30 pages (out of 200) shows Steve looking for the real murderer to exonerate himself. ⬇
HE WAS NAKED IN A STRANGE BED, one of those beds that stands in a closet all day, like a bad child.

pickThis mystery classic had humor and some quirky characters. Published in #1942 , the setting is an academic library with librarian Gilda as the amateur sleuth. She‘s prickly, but with a flare that makes her entertaining. Johnson uses this book to softly poke fun at academia. A nice lighthearted mystery at a time where levity was needed. The audio took me awhile to get into, but I overall enjoyed this one. #192025

Now that we've finished our Nancy Drew read for the month, I'm starting another childhood nostalgia series!! I read Nancy when I was younger, 9-10ish, and didn't discover Trixie until I was a little older, maybe 12-13. I remember finding her a more relatable character - where Nancy is almost superhuman in her skills, Trixie, with her everyday family, love of horses, and parents who made her do homework, felt more approachable! A few of us are ⬇

pickOne of the first books I read with ghosts.
What a wonderful read (reread)! Still love this story, and still believe that her cat is immortal...that isn't in the storyline, just me...
