BOOK REPORT/OMG APRIL.......

Encyclopedia Brown - Donald J. Sobol

















Product Description(Amazon.com)
Leroy Brown, aka Encyclopedia Brown, is Idaville neighborhood’s ten-year-old star detective. With an uncanny knack for trivia, he solves mysteries for the neighborhood kids through his own detective agency. But his dad also happens to be the chief of the Idaville police department, and every night around the dinner table, Encyclopedia helps him solve his most baffling crimes. And with ten confounding mysteries in each book, not only does Encyclopedia have a chance to solve them, but the reader is given all the clues as well. Interactive and chock full of interesting bits of information—it’s classic Encyclopedia Brown! 
Series: Encyclopedia Brown (Book 1) 
Paperback: 96 pages

MY THOUGHTS:   This is a really cool book.  The stories give you the clues and you get to try to solve the crime yourself.  If you get stumped, the answers are in the back of the book.  I admit I had to look at the answers a couple of times to solve the mysteries.  I give this book 5....





This book is for 1 of my reading challenges....
Color Coded Challenge

I've been reading a lot this month and not getting my work done on my quilting projects.  My goal for April was to put together two of  the quilts on my Quilt Project List.
 4. Dots Quilt
5. Dresden Quilt(Gray Center)
6. 6" Crazy Quilt
7. Halloween Quilt
8. Thanksgiving Quilt
9. Christmas Quilt
10. Jar Quilt
11. Strip Quilt
12. Easter Quilt
13. Boo Quilt
14. Valentine Quilt
15. Dresden Quilt(Red Center)
16. Under The Sea Quilt
17. Spring Quil
18. 4th of July Quilt
19. ABC Quilt
  Well, I kind of got that done.  I actually got 3 quilts all sandwiched and one is on the hoop for tying, but haven't actually worked on any of them.  It seems April just flew by.  You may ask what OMG is all about.

  This is taking place over at Red Letter Quilts and OMG is One Monthly Goal Challenge.  To set one goal for yourself for the month.  You can see my goals I posted about last month here.   So I guess the next step will be to actually get them all tied and bound.  So that is my May goal.

  2. Good for you to get the quilts layered, Sherrie. My month was like yours: it flew by. Maybe May will go slower and we'll all get more done, huh?
