Welcome to Litsy!

Running 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

I'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.

Greetings from the house of sickness!

My son went on a school trip and the gift he brought home was Covid. None of us have had it before, but we're all fully vaxxed and boostered, so it isn't *too* terrible.

I committed to entirely too many things this month. I finished the May book for #bobwhitebuddies so I'm only a book behind. I did manage to finish this month's reading for #europacollective and #KLBR. I'm behind on #beyondtheyellowbrickroad.

The discovery of an old letter hidden in the Belden‘s attic leads the Bob-Whites on the trail of a lost necklace & an old plantation house. But they‘re not the only ones seeking the emeralds.

Such fun, & not just because I‘ve also traveled to Williamsburg & Virginia plantations. It‘s also a fun mystery with secret passages, friends working together, drama, & redemption. Some ableist language for a wheelchair user, but not too bad.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

#Naturalitsy #HyggeHourReadathon

I realized I didn‘t finish this one a couple of weeks ago 🤷🏻‍♀️ so once again I am spending my #HyggeHour with Trixie for #BobWhiteBuddies along with some chocolate & iced tea because it‘s humid tonight.

Mood is sad & tired & not ready for Monday but I leave Tuesday evening for a work trip to Boise for a conference & a stopover on Oregon for the weekend to see my family, so at least the week will go quickly.

I can‘t believe it‘s June 7th & I haven‘t posted my May recap or June TBR yet! While I didn‘t get to everything I wanted to read in a very busy month, I managed to read 16 books & took part in: #SundayBuddyRead #SheSaid #NancyDrewBR #BobWhiteBuddies #EBBR

Spending my #HyggeHour with Trixie & the gang for #BobWhiteBuddies along with tea & my favorite dried cinnamon Fuji apple slices.

My mood is sad that the weekend was so short & that it will be another crazy workweek—although hopefully not as bad as the last two weeks.

I really enjoyed the 13th Trixie Belden book. The banter and teasing between the Bob-Whites was just like I remembered - and just the right amount of flirting between Jim and Trixie!! 😍

@BookmarkTavern was saying how it would be fun to know who ghost-wrote which books, so I did a little research yesterday, but it just looks like that list doesn't exist! The best information I could find is linked below, but it's a lot of hypotheticals. ⬇
