And so tourist season kicks off. I'm sure everyone has their own designated kick-off date for it, but for me it's the Bridge Run and Flowertown. I think I went to Flowertown once and it was kind of awesome and definitely all too much for me, but I was also in middle school and I'd imagine it's worse as an adult. :P Anyway, you could tell all the people who came in last night who work any job that'll bring 'em in contact with tourists or those who are just really psyched for the two events. They had the look of "and so it begins." We all wished one another good luck because really, this weekend sucks if you don't get to play.


Onward!


Oh, and I finally looked it up and it turns out that I wasn't kidding every time I said my work-a-versary is April Fool's Day.


5.) Favorite mystery:
Mary Anne and the Secret in the Attic. I'm going to agree with people who think this should really be in the core books, especially considering how often things in the mysteries didn't really seems to translate to the core series but this one is a big, important life change for MA. I think I re-read it not too long ago (a year or two?) and the only thing that didn't hold up is that the pacing is off, and I think I remember feeling that way when it first came out, too.

Agreed. Mystery #5 and #6 are tied for my all-time faves. Both have storylines that carried into the regular series (what a concept!).

Plus #6 was purple and I'm a sucker for purple. I mean, that was clearly the second most important takeaway from this after actually being useful to the regular series, right?

I remember being a little put out when the mystery covers starting changing colors. I liked the idea of them all being blue, just like how all the super specials (to that point) were white. I think #6 is the only purple one, tho, and its definitely suitable that its a Claudia's room being ransacked one :D

Oh yeah, it was weird when they just switched colors but purple. Purple! Some of those mystery colors though were a choice. *cough*
