Welcome to Litsy!

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.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

A man's body clad only in underwear is found in a cargo of rhubarb on a goods train running from Leeds to London. Scotland Yard asks Kate Shackleton to put her local knowledge to use as they suspect the deceased was involved in a Soviet plot to cause unrest in the mining industry.

Although Kate and her helpers are all in good form I could've done without the political intrigue aspects. I liked the new character PH and hope we see more of him.

Kate Shackleton and other members of her local photographic society go on a trip to Haworth to witness the handing over of Haworth Parsonage to the nation as the Brontë Museum. Seven went but only six came back because one had been murdered.

There were times when it reminded me a bit too strongly of Cold Comfort Farm, but it was still a good mystery.

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 ⬇️

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

@julieclair--wowza! You spoiled me! The wrapped gifts were so pretty, I had to take a pic of those--and keep Pippa from wanting to tear the packages. She thinks every wrapped anything is for her! Candy? My FAVORITES! Book post-its? So useful--as well as the hand soap sheets! Bookmark? Precious. Books? LOVELOVELOVE! Thank you so much, my friend. 🩵❄️🩵

Also, a big thanks to @bookish_wookish for hosting this lovely swap! #LCS #LittleChristmasSwap

Book 25 in the Hamish Macbeth series is a good one. Hamish almost gets faux baby trapped at the altar. His love life is a mess as always. The murders in this book were particularly gruesome. Love this series. 4⭐️

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. 😨
