Welcome to Litsy!

Hey #BobWhiteBuddies !!! Quick question - do we want to skip December and pick up in January with The Happy Valley Mystery, or are we good to read Happy Valley in December? I'm fine either way, but I know this time of year can get overwhelming, so just let me know what you think!!

I may regret this, because obviously I don't have enough buddy reads going on 😂, but is anyone interested in reading the Trixie Belden books with me? I'm thinking similar to the Nancy Drew readalong - one book a month with a few discussion posts? Since we read ND in the first half of the month & discuss on the 15th, I'm thinking Trixie in the second half & discuss on the 30th?

If yes, start this month or in April?

1. I could‘ve put so many answers here - Nancy Drew, The Chronicles of Prydain, the Melendys, Anne of Green Gables etc, but I especially loved Trixie. I used to daydream about being friends with her and Honey and Jim. ❤️
2. Pie!
3. Baking. And genealogy.
4. England. Preferably dividing my time between London & a Cotswold village.
5. You all have made me so nostalgic today! So many good kids‘ books.

I loved Trixie Belden! All my favorite childhood bookish memories are wrapped up in these books.

1. Trixie Belden ... it was a wonderful series of books that I read hundreds of times. As an adult I have been hunting copies. 2. I didn‘t really have one. Books were always my favorite.
3. Grilled cheese.
4. Cookies.

Juliet is obsessed with “reading” Trixie Beldens. She takes them everywhere, insists on having a bookmark, and will sit, running her finger down each page for 5-6 min. So random. 😂 #raisingreaders

I did a huge purge of books last year in prep for a move. I let go of a lot of my childhood books like Hardy Boys. I kept all my Trixie Beldens (they were the hardest to find) and all of my oldest ones from Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, Tom Swift, and Meg Mysteries. I think old books are beautiful.

3yo, smugly: I'm reading at the table!
(We have banned the 7yo from reading during meals once everyone is seated, so she doesn't just ignore us.)
7yo: You don't know how to read!
3yo: I can read in my head!
7yo: But you don't know the words.
3yo: How do you know? I'm reading in my head.
7yo: Mo-om. She says she's reading in her head!

Tried to put this book away, but her baby was READING THAT. And now I RUINED IT, and her baby is CRYING BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T REMEMBER WHAT PAGE SHE WAS ON.

My Trixie Belden collection from when I was a child, I guess I've always enjoyed Mysteries! I'm currently missing 7 of the 39 books. I'm currently on the hunt to fill in the missing books, this may take a while! #CollectingIsAsMuchFunAsReadingIs 😁📖📚

Another childhood fave! I don't think I #lovedatage10 - more like age 7-8, but I had to post my collection after I saw @Lmstraubie 's post!! Someday someday I will find numbers 12 and 28 to complete things! #17booklove

My aunt, who has always been an avid reader, turned me on to this series & I was always excited to get my hands on the next one in the series. For some reason I remember having trouble finding them in the US, but my aunt always had them in Canada.

Rocking my Trixie Belden bracelet today. The lady who makes these is so incredibly talented and will customize to most any book.

My favorite part of buying used books is the inscriptions 💗

#booktober #longtitle. Searched my shelves for books with a long title. My Trixie Belden books won. I loved this series when I was a kid. She beat Nancy Drew hands down!
