#Read2025 #SeriesLove2025

Finished Book 2 in the series Sunday for #EBBR & I did pretty well solving the crimes. I only one that I didn‘t completely get was The Case of the Ambushed Cowboy as I knew what it had to do with but not exactly why (no spoilers here!) 😉 I‘m not saying I‘ve gotten smarter as an adult—I could just be remembering bits from my childhood. My favorite thing is when “Leroy” Brown solves his dad‘s cases at the dinner table.

#Naturalitsy #HyggeHourReadathon

My #HyggeHour tonight is being spent with Encyclopedia Brown for #EBBR & my favorite Dried Cinnamon Fuji Apple slices & apple tea. I‘ll finish the book pretty quickly so I will probably visit some #5JoysFriday or crash & go to sleep.

Mood is fairly neutral but not excited for Monday tomorrow & another busy week ahead.

Well fellow sleuths! How did you fare this time with the latest #EBBR? I missed “The Case of the Hungry Hitchhiker”. 🤭

I also cracked up in the first story when I read “He wore a face longer than the last day of school.” 😂

I have a real mystery to solve. Does anyone know what happened to @ bthegood? Her page and handle have disappeared. I hope it‘s just a Litsy glitch and she will make her way back. 🤞❤️

DGRachel I hope she‘s okay. 🥺 As for the book, I enjoyed most of it and solved all but two or three. The teeth collection still freaks me out. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 1w

Ruthiella @DGRachel I hope so too. 🤞 I think the teeth collection is going to be a running gag in the series. I apologize in advance. 🦷🤢 😂 (edited) 1w

AnnCrystal I was also wondering about bthegood, hope she is alright. Maybe she just became busy with her classes and family 🙏💝. 7d

Read4life I loved reading this one. Also, it‘s weird that her page is gone. Maybe she changed her username and forgot to post the update? 7d

Sace @Read4life I had the same thought. 6d

DebinHawaii Hope everything is okay with her! I did well with these overall. I didn‘t know exactly why for the Ambushed Cowboy in terms of ahead or behind but had the general idea. The Hungry Hitchhiker one was one I got right away living in a year-round warm climate! 😉 1d

Ruthiella @DebinHawaii I live in Southern California and I didn‘t get it! 😆 1d

DebinHawaii @Ruthiella Hah! I probably try to carry around more of it in my purse or bag than you do! 😋 1d

I never made a special section for the #EBBR that @Ruthiella is hosting. I also don‘t think I need to do a star rating for each book so I‘ll just be keeping track of the cases I figured out and the ones that stumped me. I am utterly embarrassed by not being able to “solve” the secret pitch case. 🤦‍♀️

Ruthiella I missed a couple myself! 😆 1w

So much fun! I love matching wits with Encyclopedia Brown. I should probably be embarrassed at not solving all of the cases, but I deduced most of them, and I‘m totally okay with that. I love the format, and other than Charlie‘s creepy teeth collection, I enjoy the characters. Thanks @Ruthiella for starting the #EBBR! This has been so much fun!

tpixie Fun! 🤩 2w

Ruthiella I‘m also okay with still being occasionally stumped! At least I am a little bit more on the ball now than at 10 years old. 😂 2w

DGRachel @Ruthiella Exactly! I‘m having fun just seeing what I can solve and letting my mind be blown by what I miss. 🤣🤣 2w

I‘m so glad I kept this series instead of giving it away. I loved them as a kid & I‘m enjoying revisiting them with the #EBBR group.

Reading this month‘s #EBBR book, I wondered:

1. Why anyone would trust Bugs Meany or make a bet with him! 😂

2. Why does he wear a “Jughead hat “? Were those real?

So I looked up the hat. From Wikipedia: A whoopee cap is a style of headwear popular among youths in the mid-20th cent. in the US…made from a felt fedora hat with the brim trimmed with a scalloped cut and turned up…often decorated with buttons, badges, or bottle caps.

Who knew? 🤔

Jess861 I had no idea the Jughead hat was real - I always thought it was a crown in the comics, lol. 3w

Ruthiella @Jess861 It does look like a crown! 👑 3w

Read4life I didn‘t know that‘s how they were made. Thanks for the fun facts!! 3w

I never read these as a kid. I did enjoy them as a logic puzzle lover. It did cause me to go look and see if some books from my childhood are available. Such as the dear america series, animorphs and goosebumps and they are available through the library.
