#Naturalitsy #HyggeHourReadathon

Spending my #HyggeHour with Trixie & the gang for #BobWhiteBuddies Drinking iced green tea & my snack is a mini pecan pie from a craft fair vendor.

My mood is sad that it‘s Monday yet again. Why are weekends so short? I‘m not ready to go back to work. 🥺

The Mystery on the Mississippi | Kathryn Kenny, Haris Petie

Pickpick

When the Bob-Whites get the chance to travel the Mississippi, they couldn‘t be happier. Then Trixie & Honey find a bundle of papers that lead them to a mystery bigger than anything they‘ve seen before.

Wow! This was much higher stakes than we usually get in this series. But also the whole group acting more responsibly when higher authorities get involved. You‘d think everyone would be more trusting of Trixie‘s instincts by now, though. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

#Read2025 #SeriesLove2025

Finished this one last Sunday for #BobWhiteBuddies. I‘m so behind on all my review but wanted to get this one up before the discussion. I do remember this one from childhood, mainly due to the black widow🕷️angle. When I was growing up, my older sister was in the bathroom in the dark & felt something tickling her leg & when she turned on the light, it was a big black widow!😱 Trust me when I say that I was terrified & ⬇️

DebinHawaii …needed all the lights to be on for quite some time. But I digress. This was an okay book in the series—not that much non-spider action & Nancy‘s noggin was not knocked so the #NNK counter is 9/21. Also “Bushy Trott” is quite a name & really, what good is Effie, ever? Looking forward to the discussion on the 15th. 1w
Ruthiella Bushy Trott still makes me giggle! 🙊 1w
Librarybelle I could have done without the black widows in this one. 1w
DieAReader 🎉 I always look forward to your #NNK counter🤣💖 6d

Mystery of the Emeralds | Kathryn Kenny

Mehso-so

The last Trixie was light on mystery, but this one was all mystery & no sense. Trixie finds a letter in a hidden room in her house that no one knew about, which might mean her house was part of the underground railroad. That plot point gets dropped though because Di's parents just happen to be taking a trip to Williamsburg, where the letter originated. It felt much more like a Nancy Drew book, what with the hidden locket and concealed staircase.

June | Lori Copeland

So, I‘m very behind in reviews for June & procrastination has continued its hold on me but until I get them done, here‘s my June recap. Work, life, a dead Kindle & family visits mean I didn‘t get as much read as I wanted, but I ended up finishing 12 books + 3 more in process.

I did manage to finish books for #SundayBuddyRead #NancyDrewBR #EBBR #BobWhiteBuddies #FictionalTravel #SeasonalCozies #CampLitsy2025 #AuthorAMonth & 2 #Roll100 books ⬇️

DebinHawaii … with 3 books I‘m finishing up in July including ones for #SheSaid & my final #Roll100 pick + one for Leadership at work. My top 3 favorites were Starter Villain, Wild Dark Shore & Ash, although I think that I Who Have Not Known Men will be right up there. Hopefully I‘ll get the reviews posted soon, along with my July TBR. 2w
Librarybelle You still read well for June! 2w
Ruthiella I agree with @Librarybelle ! Good results despite the challenges. 👍 2w
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! Fantastic month!! 2w
julieclair Still a good month! I didn‘t get to Starter Villain in June. Hoping I can fit it in to July. 🤞 2w

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

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) help far away people and causes, they still are willing to reach out to people close to them, too. I was afraid this one might turn into a little mini-travelogue about WIlliamsburg, but other than the COMPLETELY random trip to the wig shop, it felt like the right amount of background 😆 While this one was a little too coincidence/tidy at the end, it still was overall feel-good and happy. And by golly, I still ship Trixie and Jim 💕 3w
BookmarkTavern There were a lot of coincidences in this one, but Trixie also got to show off her intelligence! Finding the staircase was such an awesome moment. And I loved Brian getting to show off his medical knowledge multiple times in this book. 2w

lauraisntwilder Never in my life would I agree to taking my kid's 5 friends on my business trip! 😆 And poor Dan continues to miss out. I'm looking forward to summer ending in Sleepyside so the Bob-Whites have to stay home and hang out with Dan and ride those horses they're so crazy about. 2w
TheAromaofBooks @BookmarkTavern - Yes!! Honestly, Brian was always my crush when I read these growing up 😂 I loved his steadiness whenever there is a crisis and how he always seems to know what to do!! 2w
TheAromaofBooks @lauraisntwilder - I really felt like there was more horseback riding when I read these back in the day 😆 2w

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.

How to Survive a Pandemic | Michael Greger

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.

lauraisntwilder I didn't read my #bookspin or #doublespin, but they're both short and I DID read the one I didn't get done last month 3w
lauraisntwilder I'm only 50 pages into the #ohcanada book for this month, but so far so good! And last, but not least, I haven't started Emily of New Moon yet, but that one will be quick (and lovely). #kindredspiritsbuddyread 3w
Ruthiella Hope you all get better soon! ❤️🥴 3w

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.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
