so-soI personally found this to be one of the weakest of the series so far. The plot was really choppy and a bit random (gun runners??) and, more aggravating, the gang just felt like they kept making really dumb decisions? Let's get in a boat with a stranger!! Let's go swimming all alone when the pool is closed and no one is around!! Let's leave Trixie & Honey alone in the hotel after we said the hotel wasn't safe!! Let's run off with two people we ⬇

Finished Sunday for July‘s #BobWhiteBuddies this one (#15) & Trixie & the gang are visiting Mark Twain country—St. Louis & the Mississippi River when mysterious papers left in her hotel room by the previous occupant soon have her & the Bob-Whites mixed up in some very dangerous dealings. This one I remembered a lot of—probably because Trixie gets in over her head. Also I get very frustrated when the group splits up ⬇️

Spending my #HyggeHour finishing up this Trixie Belden book I started last week for #BobWhiteBuddies along with a lilikoi bar & sparkling water (it‘s warm & humid tonight). Also watching Legally Blonde because I need something fluffy to watch.
Mood is fine. Not really looking forward to Monday & another crazy week. (How is it almost August?)
Does Trixie have the neck of a pigeon and the ghostwriters forgot to mention it? That is not a picture of a human girl! 😆

Spending my #HyggeHour with Trixie & the gang for #BobWhiteBuddies Drinking iced green tea & my snack is a mini pecan pie from a craft fair vendor.
My mood is sad that it‘s Monday yet again. Why are weekends so short? I‘m not ready to go back to work. 🥺
pickWhen the Bob-Whites get the chance to travel the Mississippi, they couldn‘t be happier. Then Trixie & Honey find a bundle of papers that lead them to a mystery bigger than anything they‘ve seen before.
Wow! This was much higher stakes than we usually get in this series. But also the whole group acting more responsibly when higher authorities get involved. You‘d think everyone would be more trusting of Trixie‘s instincts by now, though. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
so-soThe last Trixie was light on mystery, but this one was all mystery & no sense. Trixie finds a letter in a hidden room in her house that no one knew about, which might mean her house was part of the underground railroad. That plot point gets dropped though because Di's parents just happen to be taking a trip to Williamsburg, where the letter originated. It felt much more like a Nancy Drew book, what with the hidden locket and concealed staircase.
pickRunning a little behind with June's #BobWhiteBuddies read, but better late than never!! I really enjoyed this one, despite all the coincidences that let everything work out perfectly 😂 One thing I really liked was the way that Trixie gave Neil the benefit of the doubt instead of jumping to conclusions about his motives. Like the last book, the gang comes through here as feeling compassionate. Even though they frequently focus on fundraisers to
pickI'm a month behind on the #bobwhitebuddies Trixie read through, but hoping to catch up this month. This one was light on mystery and heavy on sailing, but I didn't mind. The kids weren't whiny and argumentative like that horrible one in the cave, so I'll take it! 😆 The ending was sweet, too.
Did the rest of you like it better than me??
