Welcome to Litsy!

#whereareyouMonday

This Monday I‘m in 1980s New York City with Lieutenant Sigrid Harald of the NYPD. I‘ve only been to NYC once in the late ‘90s, but I know from books and other media that it was a little different then from now…grittier for sure. The reader gets a glimpse of this in this mystery series, but just a glimpse.

Had to use a different tagged title since “The Right Jack” isn‘t in the database.

I guess Trixie Belden is getting republished?!? I wonder if the books are getting updated like the Nancy Drew books were.

Not really a Christmas read but I needed something different. Pictured: Olives reaction to her first Christmas tree, it wasn't even fully up and she was ready to destroy it (it's been up for 1 week and it's been knocked over 10 times so....)

I really enjoyed November's Trixie mystery. I know I've said it before, but I love how Trixie isn't perfect. In this story, she's biased against Dan from the start just because of how he looks/what he wears, and that comes back to bite her. Were some things in this book a little too tidy/easy? Absolutely, but that's okay because it's fiction 😂

Did you all get to this one? Any thoughts?

One other thing, I wondered how crazy the mountain lion ⬇

When a body is found buried in the grounds of Kit's old home, not only do the police suspect him but the new owners want to sue to get the purchase price back.

I thought this was the penultimate entry in the series but despite being promised for the summer of 2020, the final (?) volume has been promised for 2023, 2024, and the latest forecast is Summer 2025.

Yay! We're back in Sleepyside, getting lost in the woods repeatedly! But now there's a mountain lion! I love this cover so much, and loved the idea of Trixie judging someone for wearing a black leather jacket. 😂 My biggest critique was that, in my edition, Di Lynch didn't show up until page 80 and she wasn't part of any of the action of the story. Not sure how another BWG is going to fit, if we barely had room for Di! #bobwhitebuddies

Finished Sunday for #BobWhiteBuddies Trixie # 8 revolves around Trixie coming up with an idea to have an ice carnival to help raise money to rebuild her Mexican penpals‘ school library (a concept any reader can get behind). It also introduces a new character & addition to the club, Dan, who has a rocky start with the group & especially Trixie. Small spoiler… I always felt sorry for Dan because he rarely got to go ⬇️
