April #SeriesLove2024 wrap up
Doing great with my middle grade series thus far but need to pick up more adult series.
Growing up I was a Trixie Belden girl & not a Nancy Drew girl. So for the first time as an adult I‘m reading Nancy Drew with the buddy read & I did my first adult reread of Trixie. I enjoyed it very much and I can now positively confirm that I‘m still a Trixie girl as I liked this so much better. I felt the characters & plot were more detailed & fleshed out. I still enjoy Nancy, she is a great mc but Trixie definitely has better storytelling.
I had SO MUCH FUN rereading this and am not sure I want to stick to only one book per month 😂 I remember now how I found Trixie to be a much more relatable heroine than Nancy Drew (although I love Nancy very much) - closer to my age when I was reading these, a big family with lots of brothers, parents who make her do chores, her yearning for a horse, her enjoyment in being outside, etc. Trixie's adventures always felt more like something that ⬇

Read along with @TheAromaofBooks & some friends for a book a month Trixie Belden readalong (we need a hashtag!) It‘s been a few years since I reread the series & this first book which sets it up with Trixie meeting poor-little-rich teen Honey Wheeler & them discovering runaway Jim Frayne hiding in the old mansion. I forgot Brian & Mart (Trixie‘s brothers) are away working at a boys camp for ⬇️
I finally broke down and ordered some Trixie Belden books from eBay, then I found a couple at a used bookstore. These were books my mom loved as a girl, but her copies have vanished. This first one was really charming (except for all the times they had chocolate with lemonade--and once it was pineapple juice 🤮). I can tell I'm going to like these.

My #HyggeHour is going to start soon & a little earlier as I have to pick up a colleague early from the airport tomorrow & it‘s a day full of meetings.
Finishing up Pippi Longstocking for #ChildrensClassicRead2024 & the tagged book for a Trixie Belden read-along. Snacking on dill pickle trail mix.
Mood is channeling my inner child when times were easier because I‘m not happy about Monday at all! 😬
The 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! 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
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 ⬇
