#BobWhiteBuddies !!! I finished this a couple weeks ago but then spaced on actually posting at the end of the month 😂 Did you all get to this one in January? Did you like it? I thought the setting was fun, although we've already begun the trend of leaving poor Dan behind! Why did the authors even make him a member of the gang?? I really liked the way Trixie didn't have all the answers here, and had to stop and reassess a few times. However, the ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) rivalry between the Bob-Whites and the local kids felt a little odd to me. I remember being really excited about them mentioning 4-H in this book, as I was a 4-H member for ten years, and then an advisor for ten years after that, so it was a big part of my life. And of course we get the little taste of romance between Jim and Trixie that made my heart flutter when I was 13! 😆

All in all, while I had a few little issues, I overall ⬇

curiouserandcurioser I enjoyed this one:) it was fun to see the taste if romance develop between Trixie and Jim! Excited for the next book! Thank you for this, Sarah:) 2d

DebinHawaii Felt the same way. I longed for an ID bracelet like Jim got Trixie & loved the swoony moment. 💗 2d
BookmarkTavern One of my favorite things about the romance is how age appropriate it is, and how they really take their time building up to it. ❤️ 2d
lauraisntwilder This has been one of my favorites so far. The part with the flood was genuinely scary. I couldn't look away! I love the way the kids' relationships are growing and changing. 2d

What an ending! I kept wondering why the kids were in a boat on the cover. Then, once they were in the boat, I practically held my breath for the rest of the book! #bobwhitebuddies

Trixie & the BobWhites are at it again when sheep thieves are targeting the Belden‘s Uncle Andrew‘s farm!

We get to see the gang investigate another high stakes mystery, meet some new kids, some development on young love, & a dramatic rescue! More importantly, we get to see Trixie fail in her investigations, & then pick herself back up, apologize for her assumptions, & try, try again. It‘s always great to see failure treated as natural.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

Purpleness I love your bookmark! 2w

#Read2025 #JumpStart2025 #SeriesLove2025

Finished the other day for #BobWhiteBuddies this is Book 9 & a fun one with some serious danger for some of the group as they spend spring break (except poor Dan) in Iowa at the Belden‘s uncle‘s sheep ranch. Trixie is on the case of some missing sheep & making a few mistakes along the way. There‘s ice skating & rabbit chasing & new friends who show up in a later book. This is one of my favorites mainly ⬇️

DebinHawaii … because (slight spoiler here if you care) at the end there‘s a little Jim+Trixie (Jixie?!?) moment” on the plane than had me swooning as a pre-teen.😍 3w

Spending #HyggeHour with Trixie & the Bob-Whites, herbal tea & some peely gummy mangoes to snack on. Also, how cute is this Bob-Whites of the Glen sticker from @TheAromaofBooks ? (Thank you, Sarah!) 🤗

Mood is sad that Monday is tomorrow & it‘s a whole long week of work. I may have the January blues. 😨

TheBookHippie ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ honestly we just need a field trip to France for our book comprehension …. 1mo

I guess Trixie Belden is getting republished?!? I wonder if the books are getting updated like the Nancy Drew books were.

TheAromaofBooks That's so crazy! I hope they don't get updated. Part of their charm is their era. 2mo

I 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

lauraisntwilder Of course mountain lions were rare, all the Mr. Maypennys of the world were too ready to shoot them! 2mo
curiouserandcurioser @TheAromaofBooks im loving reading these again! Trixie isnt perfect, but has a good heart:) i cant wait to get back to reading these in January! 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

Yay! We're back in Sleepyside, getting lost in the woods repeatedly! But now there's a mountain lion! I love this cover so much, and loved the idea of Trixie judging someone for wearing a black leather jacket. 😂 My biggest critique was that, in my edition, Di Lynch didn't show up until page 80 and she wasn't part of any of the action of the story. Not sure how another BWG is going to fit, if we barely had room for Di! #bobwhitebuddies

#ReadAway2024 #SeriesLove2024

Finished Sunday for #BobWhiteBuddies Trixie # 8 revolves around Trixie coming up with an idea to have an ice carnival to help raise money to rebuild her Mexican penpals‘ school library (a concept any reader can get behind). It also introduces a new character & addition to the club, Dan, who has a rocky start with the group & especially Trixie. Small spoiler… I always felt sorry for Dan because he rarely got to go ⬇️

DebinHawaii … anywhere with the Bob Whites—he was always working. But anyway, this one is a fine addition to the series, no big thrills but no major notes. I did worry about Mr. Maypenny‘s poor head. As in our Nancy Drew reread, I‘m realizing head injuries & concussions weren‘t a big thing back in the day! 🤕🙁 2mo
DieAReader 🤕😳It‘s quite astonishing to realize how much hings have changed regarding head injuries & concussions!! 2mo
TheSpineView 👍🤩📖 2mo
Andrew65 Excellent 👏👏👏 2mo
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! I always felt the same way about Dan! It was like they introduced him to the series but then they didn't know what to do with him 😂 But it never seemed fair that everyone else went on fun trips and stuff and he was always stuck working! 2mo

Trixie & I are hanging out for #HyggeHour tonight, along with Sleepytime tea & some peanut butter & jelly M&Ms. (I feel like these are better in theory than in taste but they aren‘t bad, because… chocolate) 😉

Looking forward to a shorter week with the holiday although it will still be a busy one & I need to work Friday morning. 🤷🏻‍♀️
