Trixie Belden and the Marshland Mystery (Trixie Belden, #10) | Kathryn Kenny

pick

Honey‘s family is hosting a child violin prodigy while the BobWhites are trying to recreate a collection of pressed flowers for a teacher. Only, there is something out in the local marsh.

This was a mostly Trixie & Honey story. Di is barely there, the boys are in the background, & poor Dan only gets mentioned once. But we also see Trixie learning to not judge people by 1st impressions. & we meet an antagonistic journalist. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

#Read2025 #SeriesLove2025

Finished book 10 last Sunday for #BobWhiteBuddies & I‘m pretty sure this was the first Trixie Belden book I ever read. My sister had this copy & I ended up “borrowing” it & then asking for the rest of the series since she wasn‘t much of a reader. I remembered quite a bit of it as I was reading it, Gaye & her puppy & the gathering of the plants for their teacher. This one was pretty mild mystery-wise & as usual, Dan ⬇️

DebinHawaii … the newest Bob-White was too busy working to join in anything—although actually, all the boys were kept pretty busy for this one. I‘m looking forward to traveling with the Bob-Whites again in the next two books.

peaKnit I used to go to our local “dime store” with my grandma and get Trixie books…such a great memory. 2w

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! I haven't read this one yet this month, but I am really looking forward to it. The next few are some of the first I read in the series as well, checking them out from our library. Then back in the early 2000s I happened to be shopping the discard shelf - and there they all were!!! So I own several of these in library hardcovers from my own library and love them so much!! 2w

CatMS I think I read every Trixie Belden books as a youngster they were my favorites. 2w

#Naturalitsy #HyggeHourReadathon

Spending my #HyggeHour on the couch with Trixie & the Bob-Whites for #BobWhiteBuddies & maybe catching up a bit with my tree-a-day reading (I‘m a little behind). There is tea & chocolate involved. 🫖 🍫

Mood is a little tired & not ready for Monday & my sure to be busy workweek, but I‘m getting close to some PTO time in the first week of March, so there‘s that.😵

The Mystery of the Curiosities | C.S. Poe

Tried to read while Fenrir got a little stroll outside of his table ... didn't work. The little goober still won't stop only going places he shouldn't and trying to eat things that are clearly not food ... plus he got stuck under a chair. Oh well, I still love him, and at least he's cute

The Wife Upstairs: A Novel | Freida McFadden

I‘m tutoring incarcerated college-age young people and want to give them books. County officer says: “it has to be a paperback and appropriate (ie, no overly sexual content, no gruesome killings, etc)” — one of the girls has read all of #friedamcfadden books, and wondering if anyone here can give me suggestions for more books to get her — she loves #mysteries Thanks!

#BobWhiteBuddies !!! I finished this a couple weeks ago but then spaced on actually posting at the end of the month 😂 Did you all get to this one in January? Did you like it? I thought the setting was fun, although we've already begun the trend of leaving poor Dan behind! Why did the authors even make him a member of the gang?? I really liked the way Trixie didn't have all the answers here, and had to stop and reassess a few times. However, the ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) rivalry between the Bob-Whites and the local kids felt a little odd to me. I remember being really excited about them mentioning 4-H in this book, as I was a 4-H member for ten years, and then an advisor for ten years after that, so it was a big part of my life. And of course we get the little taste of romance between Jim and Trixie that made my heart flutter when I was 13! 😆

All in all, while I had a few little issues, I overall ⬇ 1mo

DebinHawaii Felt the same way. I longed for an ID bracelet like Jim got Trixie & loved the swoony moment. 💗 1mo

BookmarkTavern One of my favorite things about the romance is how age appropriate it is, and how they really take their time building up to it. ❤️ 1mo

lauraisntwilder This has been one of my favorites so far. The part with the flood was genuinely scary. I couldn't look away! I love the way the kids' relationships are growing and changing. 1mo

I bailed on this one. It might just be me but I thought it was kind of boring. I tried print and audio and found myself not picking it up in either format.

Bookzombie @Reggie I read a couple that were enjoyable, but I couldn‘t get into this one. I have this one on my TBR to try someday. I love a trapped in winter conditions setting, lol.
