pickHello #EBBR friends! Did you read this month‘s title and if yes, how did you get on with it?
Overall I liked it but feel the cases don‘t quite hold up quality-wise compared to the earliest ones. The solution to the first story I feel like I have encountered before, in a Colombo episode or something. 😅 The Case of the Girl Shortstop ⚾️ sadden me. I hope today Edwina would be allowed to play on the team.
I‘m a vampire girl, what can I say? 3/5 of these are about vamps. I‘m currently reading another book, Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil with @MsRadioSilence and I would also add it to this list if I were done with it! So, dear reader, we close the onslaught of recs with monsters and mayhem. All horror, of course. #hauntedshelf #blackcatcrew #linehanloves

pickThis was an enjoyable reread of a book I haven‘t read in several years. The idea of running away and hiding in a museum is a fun one, and there‘s a bit of a mystery for Claudia and Jamie to investigate as well.
It‘s also been a while since I spent a quiet Friday night with a book and cup of tea, and it was very much appreciated.

Finally catching up to reflect on the #BetsyTacyConvention! *Seven years* after committing to do the thing and being thwarted by the pandemic, it was a joy to finally make it happen. 200 fans converged on Deep Valley to see the houses, walk through Emily's slough, visit Lincoln Park, and connect with new and old friends. I'm so grateful and so tired and most of all, so thankful for Maud's writing and the gift of these beautiful stories. ❤️

Getting ready to take the kittens to get adopted (NOT ready 😭) so I gave them a bath. They were not amused whatsoever but it wasn‘t as bad as I thought it‘d be. Left to right: Butterbean, Cera, Bear & Nougat.

A couple of weeks ago Mr. Crinoline was working in Mankato. I have been to see the Betsy and Tacy houses a few years ago with a friend, he had never been. And while the Betsy Tacy Society wasn't open, he did walk around and snaped some pictures. Now every time I mention Betsy/Tacy he says 'you mean Maud and Bick?' 🏡
