Black Jacket Mystery | 
pickI really enjoyed November's Trixie mystery. I know I've said it before, but I love how Trixie isn't perfect. In this story, she's biased against Dan from the start just because of how he looks/what he wears, and that comes back to bite her. Were some things in this book a little too tidy/easy? Absolutely, but that's okay because it's fiction 😂
Did you all get to this one? Any thoughts?
One other thing, I wondered how crazy the mountain lion ⬇
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) aspect was, so I looked it up - there were still reports of mountain lions in upstate New York through the mid-1900s, although they were considered pretty rare after around 1930, as prior to that there was a bounty on them, so they were hunted excessively. They weren't put on NY's endangered species/protected list until 1973, over ten years after this book was published. So, implausible but not impossible 😂 2mo
TheAromaofBooks OH Also we are going to skip December and come back in January with The Happy Valley Mystery!! The overall consensus seemed to be everyone is pretty busy this month so the fewer “assignments“ the better 😆 I'm really looking forward to continuing this series with you all, though, as I am thoroughly enjoying this jaunt down memory lane!! 2mo

Read4life I‘m still in the VI and my books are home. I had no idea when we quickly traveled to get to my FIL in October that we‘d still be here. 2mo
TheAromaofBooks @lauraisntwilder - It's always tough to know how to deal with dangerous animals in populated areas. But at this time the government had decided eliminating them was the way to go 😬 2mo
TheAromaofBooks @curiouserandcurioser - She really does, and I love how she is able to admit she's wrong and tries to do better next time. 2mo
TheAromaofBooks @Read4life - Family gets crazy sometimes!!! Is your FIL doing okay? 2mo
BookmarkTavern That‘s one of my favorite parts of these books! When Trixie (and the others) make mistakes or judge people too harshly, they apologize and change their behavior. 💖 2mo
Read4life He‘s still in the hospital but they‘re talking of sending him home for hospice care. 2mo
