Books From the Basement

Books From the Basement is premiering it's third season and Trixie Belden is helping to start it off right! We know you've been waiting a LONG time for another Trixie and this one won’t disappoint.
In this episode Lisa and Amy take you through the first few chapters of The Secret of the Unseen Treasure. Social Security checks have gone missing, and Trixie is on the case. The BWGs and all the regulars are present for this one. Sgt. Molinson is crabby, Dan is moody, Di is confused, Mart is annoying, Jim is in charge and Brian is stoic. Even Reddy and Patch make cameo appearances! Also, Bobby can talk! So sit back and relax while you reconnect with all your favorite folks from Sleepyside.

Aloha! In Lisa’s ender, it’s time for a traditional luau party from a new (old) party book! You'll learn a short history of the Hawaiian luau before Lisa dives into a 1958 version from Games and Fun for Parties by Sylvia Mager.

Lisa and Amy are back from their VERY long hiatus! This episode was recorded last October and is worth the wait! It’s the final part of Ramona and Her Mother you’ve been waiting for! Beezus wants to go to the hair salon rather than receive Mrs. Quimby’s version of a haircut. Ramona gets new pajamas and continues to deal with the angst of family stability.

In Lisa’s ender, it’s a “Club Halo de Paree” party from Any time is Party Time. Floye L. Free also calls this a “Naughty Time" Party! No need to worry, though, the party was revised for the church crowd.

Happy Holidays to all of our listeners! It’s time for another bonus episode to celebrate this festive time of year! In this episode, Lisa digs out old copies of her family’s Christmas newsletter, The Burkett Gazette. Through the yearly rundowns filled with interesting and fun facts, you’ll gain even more insight into Lisa and Amy’s life growing up in the early 80’s. Also in this episode, Lisa & Amy discuss the Family Circle magazine story of “The Three Wise Persons” and compare it to the last chapter of Ramona and Her Mother. A fun-filled Christmas party from The Junior Party Book rounds out the episode.

We hope you all have a safe and happy holiday season. We’ll be back in 2023 with a new episode!

In this episode, Lisa and Amy continue their discussion of Ramona the Brave. Ramona finally starts first grade but is disappointed when things don’t go as expected. Her new teacher is nothing like Miss Binney, and Susan is up to her old tricks. If that weren’t enough, Howie abandons her and takes all his bricks away.

In Lisa’s ender, she and Amy hop back to Gertrude Crampton and Your Own Party Book for some “Ath-A-Letic”(?) party ideas.
