The Secret of the Mansion | Julie Campbell

Now that we've finished our Nancy Drew read for the month, I'm starting another childhood nostalgia series!! I read Nancy when I was younger, 9-10ish, and didn't discover Trixie until I was a little older, maybe 12-13. I remember finding her a more relatable character - where Nancy is almost superhuman in her skills, Trixie, with her everyday family, love of horses, and parents who made her do homework, felt more approachable! A few of us are ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) are going to read these together, one book a month, with discussions around the 30th. Anyone is free to join us!!

@curiouserandcurioser @BookmarkTavern @DebinHawaii - really looking forward to rereading these!!! 3d

mabell I LOVED Trixie!! I would look for her in secondhand shops on road trips growing up! I haven‘t read them since I was young, and I would be nervous to in case they‘re different than I remember 😬 3d

DGRachel I never read this series. Tempting! 3d

UwannaPublishme How did I miss this series? 🤔 3d

TheAromaofBooks @mabell @DGRachel @UwannaPublishme - I also loved these because HORSES 😂 I remember wishing that I had a rich friend with stables right up the road!! 3d

TheAromaofBooks @mabell - you should join us for the first book and then go from there!!! 3d

DebinHawaii Woo Hoo! I am excited & need to go dig book 1 off my bookshelves! 🎉📚🎉 Yay for Trixie & the Bob-Whites! 3d

Read4life I have this series. Please tag me. I‘d love to join you. 3d

lauraisntwilder I've been wanting to read these! My mom loved them, but her copies are lost somewhere in her house. (They were old, with pulpy paper, so I wonder if they've been stored poorly and have turned to dust!) I've been searching online, but haven't had much luck. I may have to read them as ebooks. 3d

curiouserandcurioser @TheAromaofBooks I'm so excited for this! I love Trixie Belden!! 3d

TheAromaofBooks @Read4life @lauraisntwilder - I added you both to the tag list!! 3d

TheAromaofBooks @lauraisntwilder - My copies are all cheap ones from the 70s, so I am going to have to read them with caution!! Hope you can find them somewhere!! 3d

mjtwo I was such a huge fan and still have most of the series at my parents‘ house. My youngest daughter is actually named Beatrix, which is my secret tribute. No one else seems to remember them! Such a lovely surprise to see it on Litsy. 3d

TheAromaofBooks @mjtwo - Well if you find your copies and would like to join us, feel free to jump in any time!! That's actually fantastic about your daughter being named Beatrix - I think it's such a fun name!! 2d

mabell @TheAromaofBooks It does sound fun! Are you starting April 30 or May? I still haven‘t started The Wind in the Willows 😅😆 2d

TheAromaofBooks @mabell - We are starting this month, and then one book a month going forward. I actually haven't started Willows yet either! 😂 18h

I may regret this, because obviously I don't have enough buddy reads going on 😂, but is anyone interested in reading the Trixie Belden books with me? I'm thinking very similar to the Nancy Drew readalong - one book a month with a few discussion posts? Since we read ND in the first half of the month and discuss on the 15th, I'm thinking Trixie in the second half and discuss on the 30th?

If yes, start this month or in April?

@LitsyEvents

Nebklvr I think i only have one. I loved Trixie Belden (edited) 1mo

bookandbedandtea I thought I had a few of these but I just checked and they're Dana Girls books. This group read sounds fun but I think I'll skip it for now. 1mo

BookmarkTavern Oh that would be so fun! I‘m in! 1mo

Trixie Belden and the Happy Valley Mystery (Trixie Belden, #9) | Kathryn Kenny

#DecemberDreams

Going for nostalgia here. Trixie & the Bob-Whites seemed to partake of #IceSkating in multiple books but I remember in this one they traveled to Iowa to their uncle‘s farm (where sheep were disappearing) & joined in an ice skating (& basketball) event at a local school.

Mystery of the Emeralds | Kathryn Kenny

1. A lot of different favourites at different ages, I was a big Trixie Belden fan and the tagged book is the one that springs to mind.
2. My father reading Banjo Paterson‘s Saltbush Bill poems with me when I was about 6 or 7.
3. Ecstatic is a big call, I don‘t think I can answer that.
