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?

DGRachel I didn‘t take notes so I don‘t remember specific cases, but I do remember feeling like the solution offered wasn‘t necessarily the only one possible based on the clues given. I had a lot of “but what about…” moments. Overall, though, I liked this one better than the last! 2d
Ruthiella @DGRachel For sure Encyclopedia Brown‘s success rate would be lower if the bad guys weren‘t so willing to confess! 😂 2d
Read4life I agree with @DGRachel that this was better than the last. I can see why my (much) younger self devoured these books!! 1d
Ruthiella @Read4life I also tore through these as a kid. I don‘t think I ever guessed the solution correctly, however. 😅 1d

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.

TrishB I enjoyed this one too 👍🏻 glad I still have so many of his back catalogue to get to. 1w
Oryx @TrishB the one coming out next year sounds really good too! Let me know which one you get to next (and I'll do likewise 😁). 1w
TrishB I have Bone White on the pile - so that will be next. Whenever that may be I‘ll give you a shout. 1w

#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.

Chrissyreadit 💛💛💛💛 2w
TheBookHippie OH that candy bar looks so good!

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

Ruthiella Glad to hear this is better than the last one and there‘s no mention of Charlie Stewart‘s weird collection. 😂 2w

Done before lunch! Only two cases tripped me up. I knew I was doomed when Encyclopedia needed specific denominations of coins and bills.

Another month and another #EBBR title to read or re-read! Time for all those participating to hunt down a copy. So far I‘ve been lucky that my library system has them available in ebook format.

This blast from the past is a group read available for all.

July BOTM picks are live!

What are we thinking?!

I saw the picks on instagram yesterday and knew it was going to be a skip for me!

CoffeeK8 Nothing really jumping out at me, I usually get the romances, but not sure about this one. 1mo
JamieArc There were a couple off add-ons that I really wanted so while I wasn‘t particularly interested in any of them, I went with Among Friends. I feel like there isn‘t often portrayal of good male friendships so I have hopes for that. 1mo
AmyG I got Amoung Friends. Same @JamieArc 1mo
See All 8 Comments
bookish_wookish Same for me with thrillers. @CoffeeK8 1mo
Kitta I skipped 🤷🏻‍♀️ 1mo
Eggs I chose Finding Grace 1mo
Aims42 I skipped ⏭️ I would‘ve ordered Adriana Trigiani‘s newest but none of the picks intrigued me enough to use my credit on 1mo
Gissy Still deciding to choose Megan Miranda book or These Summer Storms, I‘m a fan of family dramas 😳😂😂😂 1mo
