#Naturalitsy #HyggeHourReadathon

Reading Encyclopedia Brown for #HappyHour tonight. My library didn‘t have Book 5 but the library bookstore had a copy for 50 cents, so I grabbed it. Since it won‘t take the whole hour, I‘ll finish up with The House on Mango Street.

Beverage is ice water (hydrating) & snack are these gummy candies. Mood is tired & sad it‘s Monday. Breathing better tonight but not looking forward to a long day of work tomorrow.

AnnCrystal 🙏🏼💝. 5d
kspenmoll Glad to hear your breathing is better but sorry for your long days ahead. Try & take care of yourself as best you can.🩷 5d
AllDebooks Lots of self care this week. I hope you continue to improve xx 5d

I try to make allowances for the time period in which these books are written, but the racism towards Indigenous people was too egregious to overlook and it crops up in more than one case. This is one I wish I‘d skipped. #ebbr

Ruthiella Yes, it was egregious in this one. 👎 5d

Well I‘m pretty sure I probably did better as a kid for this one. Even though I wasn‘t on my game, I still really enjoyed another chance to hang with Encyclopedia.

I‘m not in a slump, but I‘m not reading as much as usual. I‘m not going to slow down on the #EBBR though! I‘ve got my journal page ready.

@Ruthiella

Ruthiella Yay! I wish you luck in solving the puzzles along side Encyclopedia. 😃 2w

#Read2025 #SeriesLove2025

I finished this one, #4 in the series a couple of Sundays ago for #EBBR & I have got to start reviewing them right when I finish or at least take notes because of course I‘ve already forgotten the 2 cases (I think) that I didn‘t get right. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ Even reading the list of cases, I don‘t remember at all. No matter, they still make for a great Sunday night #HyggeHour read.

TheSpineView Well done! 🤩📖📚 4w

Ruthiella They slip out of my brain too unless there‘s something special about the solution that jogs my memory. 😅 3w

repost for @Ruthiella:

Hello #EBBR armchair detectives! I hope all are having a good weekend, especially if you're in the US and have Monday off. This is a quick reminder to get your mitts on the book for June.

I vaguely recognize the cover of this one, so may have read it before? 🤔 We‘ll see if anything feels familiar.

This monthly #buddyread is open to all! If anyone would like to be added to or removed from the tag list, let me know. 😃

Ruthiella Thank you! 😊 4w

Sace I‘ve got my mitts on my copy! I look forward to starting every month with Encyclopedia Brown 😊 4w
Ruthiella @Sace It‘s also something I fondly anticipate each month. It‘s a small vacation from heavier books. 😊 4w
MatchlessMarie I must have missed this challenge when you first posted it! I started rereading these in order a few years back. It was one of my favorites as a kid but never read them in order. I‘d love to join yall once you get to book 14 - EB Carries On. That‘s where I left off on my reread. But I‘ll be creeping the hashtag for discussions 👀 3w
Ruthiella @MatchlessMarie So happy to have you on board! I will add you to the tag list. 😃 3w

Hello reading friends. I hope you all had fun reading this month‘s #EBBR book. I missed the solutions for three of the cases! 😅 My powers of deduction seem to be getting worse!

I must say, winning a pie a day for a month in The Case of the Blueberry Pies sounded delicious! 🥧😋

Sace I think I missed solutions to two of them. I missed the penguin one. I‘m a little embarrassed by that 😂. 1mo
TheAromaofBooks I was so confused about who really thought it was a good idea to stuff kids full of pie and then make them run as fast as they can 😂 1mo
Ruthiella @Sace The penguin one was the only one I remember from childhood, I think it‘s how I learned that difference between the North and South Poles! 😅 (edited) 1mo

Ruthiella @TheAromaofBooks Yes, running a race after scarfing down an entire pie seems like a bad idea. 😅 But the reward I can get behind! 1mo
DGRachel I am sorry to be late to commenting. I think I was typing something, got called away, and then…life. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I didn‘t track how I did, but I think I missed half. 🤣🤣 I will say that I did enjoy the light reading without trying too hard to pay attention. I remember thinking-only boys would be insane enough to eat all that pie and then run. (Totally sexist of me, I know, and I am a little ashamed of that) 4w
Ruthiella @DGRachel No worries! Life was certainly simpler for me when I first read these books! 😅 If the prize is a month‘s worth of pies, I think I would be tempted to compete! 😂 4w

Another fun set of quick mysteries. Encyclopedia Brown does indeed always get his man, and in this one, he even solves an international mystery! I didn‘t pay close enough attention to solve very many of these, and maybe that made it more fun? I‘m just ready for Charlie‘s collection of teeth to disappear forever. What his mother did with them…🤢 #ebbr

Ruthiella Ah Charlie and his tooth collection. I did remember correctly that it was a running gag. Sorry that it makes you gag! 🤢 1mo
