Welcome to Litsy!

#AdventRecommends @emilyrose_x

I read this series when I was young and it brought out my love for mysteries, detective stories and even series reading.
My daughter fell in love with them as a kid and is a big reader of many genres but loves mysteries the most.

Day 24 of #scarathlondailyprompts is lies.
I adore this series. I was ecstatic when my son was enthusiastic about reading these too.
The lies Bugs Meany tells brings Encyclopedia a lot of business, and he always outsmarts Bugs.

Break out those magnifying glasses — plus those encyclopedias (or maybe just a handy Wikipedia scroll, perhaps). The new episode of my book podcast is all about the first book in the classic Encyclopedia Brown series! We chat about the origin of the series, the way it portrays smart kids, its super cool format, and a potential Encyclopedia/Rory Gilmore crossover. 🔎 Link to listen in my bio!

For #Brown I thought of Encyclopedia Brown, Boy Detective. And the book cover is sort of brownish too.🤎

Day 76.
Here I will note 365 books (or as many as I will have before I get tired) that have shaped my taste in literature. No explanations, no reviews. Just the cover of the book.
I do not challenge anyone. You are all welcome to take part.

Well, since I had to set aside The House of the Seven Gables until I can find a copy with larger (non-microscopic) print, I pulled this classic off the shelf. I used to read these as a kid but only ever solved about half of them. This was fun!

Getting down to the wire here with #20Series20Days! For Day Eighteen, I‘m going with the Encyclopedia Brown series which I read as a kid. More Sherlock Holmes than Nancy Drew or The Hardy Boys, Encyclopedia solved most cases using science and/or logic. Loved ‘em! 😍

I can‘t sleep, so I‘ll play! Thanks for the tags @KathyWheeler and @TheEllieMo

#riotgrams theme for the day is beloved series. I used to devour Encyclopedia Brown books. These books were like Sherlock Holmes for youth: everything from backwards writing to subtle clues to brain puzzles, I ate these books up. I have no idea why they are not as popular nowadays, except that I doubt that kids know what an encyclopedia is. Lol! I always wanted to write the female-led version ... Anyone else love this series?
#belovedseries

My MIL cleaned out some books from her basement and I'm inheriting the strays!!!

#RiotGrams Day 3: How You Read

The best way to read is the way I've always read: wearing the fluffiest robe I can find, surrounded by pillows

📚😊

Intrepid fifth-grader solves petty and not so petty crimes. Fun book! #boyinthetitle #feistyfeb @RealLifeReading

Day23 #FeistyFeb #boyinthetitle Apparently the few books I have read with 'boy' in the title (at least the recorded ones) were from childhood, pictured in the top row. The bottom row has two unread boy-titled books that have been on my #TBR list for ages: 'About a Boy' & 'A Suitable Boy' and one that I am anticipating-'New Boy' is the upcoming Hogarth Shakespeare adaptation of Othello by Tracy Chevalier due out in May. 📚👍

#FeistyFeb confession.... Soooooo according to my Libib app I have no books with the word boy in the title, Google helped me with this one. I loved these books as a kid!

Andrew is showing out today!!! #encyclopediabrown

I was really into mysteries for a while, so I could think of a bunch for this prompt, but my first love was Encyclopedia Brown. I read and reread all of these books. He was the first #sleuth I wanted to be like. #octphotochallenge

#FunFridayPhoto My two favorite series as a kid were Encyclopedia Brown and Choose Your Own Adventures. Couldn't get enough!!!
