I never posted my review for this one, read last month for #EBBR & of course by now I have forgotten the cases & the ones I didn‘t solve. (I didn‘t solve! I think there were a couple.) 🤷🏻♀️

Did I listen to a kids book just to satisfy an #ispybingo square? Yes. Yes, I did! 🤣🤣🤣

It was really cute, though!
I didn't *adore* this one, but as I've observed before, with these short story collections from the British Library Crime Classics collections, they're often more than the sum of their parts. It makes for a fun survey of classic crime in the period, and there were a couple I liked quite a bit -- R. Austin Freeman's stories are always so detailed, for instance.
Aaand that was my #BookSpin!
This is the #BookSpin, so I settled down to read it today! It's taking me a bit longer than I'd expected, quite a few of the short stories are quite long.
Half the time I am absolutely not using my new chair (a recliner) in the way it was designed, but it's cosy. Illustration: a photo I took earlier to show a friend my silliness.
August BOTM picks are live!
What are we thinking?!
I‘ve skipped the last 2 or 3 months and I think this month may be a skip as well!
Hey ##EBBR friends! How did you fare with this month‘s title?
I did pretty well-I only missed “The Case of the Angry Cook” and I thought the “solution” was pretty tenuous. 😅
I am also curious about “The Case of the Falling Woman”. I understand the reveal, but how did the kid get a picture of a woman falling in the first place!?!?🤔 Was it his mom on a trampoline?
Another super read from Ronald Malfi. This was great, I read in 2 days. Very atmospheric and gripping mystery with a real sense of place.
#Naturalitsy #HyggeHourReadathon
Spending my #HyggeHour with Encyclopedia Brown for #EBBR & since I‘ll finish early, spend the rest of the hour with my Kindle & one of my current reads.
Drinking ice water & my snack is part of this candy bar. Mood is a little tired & not looking forward to Monday morning & a busy week of work.
I liked that this one had less overt racism than other entries in the series and it didn‘t include any mention of the creepy tooth collection. However, the solutions seem to stretch logic - the solutions could be right, but there are other explanations that are overlooked/ignored. Good for the target audience, though. #ebbr
