#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! 🤩📖📚 5d

Ruthiella They slip out of my brain too unless there‘s something special about the solution that jogs my memory. 😅 4d

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 😂. 2w
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 😂 2w
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) 2w

Ruthiella @TheAromaofBooks Yes, running a race after scarfing down an entire pie seems like a bad idea. 😅 But the reward I can get behind! 2w
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) 1w
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! 😂 1w

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! 🤢 3w

I don‘t think we see illustrations like this in children‘s books anymore 🤣 . This is from my childhood copy.

Ready for another round with our favorite boy detective? Time to put in your hold or otherwise grab a copy of the tagged for May.

Looking at the cover of the 1967 edition with the polar bear, I remember the solution to that particular mystery! It‘s weird what sticks from childhood, huh?

This buddy read is open for all-if anyone not tagged wants to be, let me know. Equally, if anyone wants to be removed, say the word.

@LitsyEvents

TheAromaofBooks I have the polar bear/penguin cover and can't WAIT to find out what that story is all about 😂 1mo
Read4life Mine is the purple cover. Wish I had the polar bear. 🐻‍❄️ I‘ve been loving this buddy read so much I will probably read it at the very beginning of May. 🤓 1mo
Ruthiella @TheAromaofBooks I can‘t wait either to revisit and find out if there are any others that I can remember or to see if I am still stumped! 😃 1mo

Ruthiella @Read4life I‘m glad you‘re having fun! Me too! 😃 (edited) 1mo
Sace Mine is the cover on the top right. I just caught Bugs Meany smoking in one of the illustrations. I had to 🤣 because now we have parental warnings for smoking on shows. 1mo
Ruthiella @Sace l cannot see any kid reading these books and taking away Bugs as their role model! 😂 1mo
Sace @Ruthiella oh absolutely not! It‘s definitely a “hey kids! Smoking is not cool!” There‘s actually a lot of smoking going on this book. It‘s kind of surprising to me (now). My parents were smokers so I guess I didn‘t even think about it as kid. 1mo
