I didn't like Minute Mysteries. Thought it was a waste of my 6 bucks. If you search for it, I wrote up one of the "mysteries" (an Addy one, too, [img]wink.gif[/img] ). None of the stories were really new, most of them were re-worked stories from the books. They were fun to solve, and a few were a bit on the more difficult side, but I didn't think it was worth the purchasing price. Might be worth library-ing, though.

The HM are the History Mysteries, and the HSH were the Hopscotch Hill. I'm just lazy and didn't want to type the names out [img]wink.gif[/img] . I'm sure you don't care about the HSH books, but in case you're interested in the HM, here's the list of those:
1. The Smuggler?s Treasure
2. Hoofbeats of Danger
3. The Night Flyers
4. Voices at Whisper Bend
5. Secrets on 26th Street
6. Mystery of the Dark Tower
7. Trouble at Fort La Pointe
8. Under Copp?s Hill
9. Watcher in the Piney Woods
10. Shadows in the Glasshouse
11. The Minstrel?s Melody
12. Riddle of the Prairie Bride
13. Enemy in the Fort
14. Circle of Fire
15. Mystery on Skull Island
16. Whistler in the Dark
17. Mystery at Chilkoot Pass
18. The Strange Case of Baby H
19. Danger at the Wild West Show
20. Gangsters at the Grand Atlantic
21. Ghost Light on the Graveyard Shoal
22. Betrayal at Cross Creek
I've got about half of these (yay, used book stores!), but haven't actually read one yet. Which is a bit sad, because most of them sound really good. I'll start reading one, but get distracted by something better, and forget about the HM book [img]frown.gif[/img] .
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Ah, okay. I have two of those, #11 and #18. I haven't read them yet, because I have so many library books to get through (I check them out in clumps!) I'll start picking them up at half price books when I see them.

Lindesy's is the worst of the LE books, lol. You missed the best one to miss. Jess's was in a totally different class, I thought, and I really hope the rest of the LE books are more like hers than the first ones.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Ah. May I ask why it's so bad? I didn't like Kailey's because she seemed like an airhead, and Marisol's was just sorta blah. I read it, but I didn't enjoy its story. I'm thinking of trying to write a LE book and offering it to AG as a LE story. But it's a pipe dream, really.

I really like the GOML books, I take it you do, too, since you've read 4 of them. Isabel's was the one I liked the least of the ones I've read. Spring Pearl, Neela, Leyla, and Cecile were my favorites. Here's a full list of those:
Isabel: Taking Wings (England 1592)
Cecile: Gates of Gold (France 1711)
Leyla: The Black Tulip (Turkey 1720)
Saba: Under the Hyena?s Foot (Ethiopia 1846)
Spring Pearl: The Last Flower (China 1857)
Minuk: Ashes in the Pathway (Yup?il Alaska 1890)
Kathleen: The Celtic Knot (Ireland 1937)
Neela: Victory Song (India 1939)
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Oh, when I said I'd read all but Isabel's I mean ALL of them. I checked them out from the library one by one. They all delighted me. I'm going to try and get the three I don't have off Ebay or at a secondhand store. I grabbed Saba's after reading it, actually.
