#ReadAway2024 #SeriesLove2024

Read for #BobWhiteBuddies Book 7 in the series doesn‘t quite live up to my childhood hype of it. I remember it being a favorite because of the code found in the magazine (Saint Nicholas-a real children‘s magazine) & the little spark of Trixie/Jim romance (a corsage & a dance but be still my preteen heart) Unfortunately the racist caricature of the Japanese brothers doesn‘t age very well. It still gets a nostalgic ⬇️

DebinHawaii … but soft pick. I‘m also using it for the #HauntedShelf #BookScavengerHunt #FIgure prompt as in addition to Trixie, there‘s the figure of a very bad guy on the cover.

Read during the following readathons for Team #Flerken 👻 points:

#HalloweenAtoZReadathon @TexReader
#Spookoween @TheSpineView
#31x31 @catsandbook #HappyAutumn #PSReadathon @bookwormjillk

#LitSolace #HyggeHourReadathon

My #HyggeHour tonight is pretty mellow. Starting Trixie for #BobWhiteBuddies & part of my #HauntedShelf TBR while watch/listening to Corpse Bride.

I‘m drinking hot tea with honey & still trying to get over this sinus thing I‘ve got going. Thankfully, no travel this week but a busy one & a midweek ESOP conference on Oahu, so probably early to bed after this. 🤧🥱😵😵‍💫😴

Mehso-so

The BobWhites must prove the worth of their club, & Trixie has the brilliant idea to host an antiques show to raise money for UNICEF. Only, the show draws more nefarious eyes than just the school board.

I had forgotten about the racist caricatures of the 2 Japanese men in this story. Add the fact that the code is only a small part of the story, & Trixie‘s parents being so dismissive of her instincts means this one is low on my list.🌕🌕🌗🌑🌑

BookmarkTavern Addendum: the $763.94 they raised for UNICEF would be equivalent to about $8,055.89 today, if we set the story in the publication year of 1961. 1w
TheAromaofBooks I haven't started this one yet!! It's the first book not written by Julie Campbell, so it will be interesting to see how the characters/tone shift. Although it sounds like maybe in a bad way 😬 1w
BookmarkTavern @TheAromaofBooks I‘m hoping this one is just growing pains into the series, because the characterization of the rest of the kids was good. Mart was less directly insulting, the kids all expressed kindness towards Mrs Vanderpoel and eventually Tad and Spider. 1w
OutsmartYourShelf Never heard of this series. Well done 👏 4d
