Charlotte Illes is not a Detective

It's not a mystery why I liked this one.

People always ask what kind of books I read, and it’s a lot faster to say what I don’t. I don’t read horror very often, and I almost never read mystery. I read a mystery this week. I found Katie Siegel on TikTok. She did some cute skits about Camp Half-Blood and a funny series about refusing to act like a main character. Then she started a series of skits where she played Lottie Charlotte…

For real though this guy was like "do you have Big Fiction? I don't remember the author" and I was like "yes it the fifth book from the left on the second shelf down on the back side of the literary criticism stacks under S after Shakespeare"

It's the same process as reconstructing obscure citations from memory by visually reconstituting the scene of Encounter and building a mnemonic device. This is my only "autistic skill" but it's a good party trick and also useful if your inventory search system crashes at the bookstore

#Like I am not exaggerating when I describe my memory as photographic #It's not eidetic. It does not 'record' all and any information #But it takes a picture like Cam Jansen that I can access later

Genuinely forreal thought I imagined the Hank the Cowdog book series I have never ever met another single person who has ever read these fucking books

#oh my god i loved the SHIT out of these books #like literally this cam jansen were the ONLY fucking things i consistently read in like 3rd and 4th grade #mystery/who dunnit in general is the only genre i have ever kept an interest in reading #*this and

Bisons lost both ends of the doubleheader today - 8-2 (pitching was ... somewhat less than inspiring?) and 6-5 in extras.

Horwitz didn't play in the first one except to line out as a pinch-hitter. Got his requisite walk in the second game but nothing more.

Jano was 0-4 in the first game too.

Sometimes I remember stuff I did when I was a single digit child, but never fully remember everything.

I used to read Nancy Drew. I definitely remember reading it in 5th grade, but probably started in 4th. I may have read them out of order, because I just grabbed whichever was immediately available, but I did read as many as were available.

And I don’t remember much. I remember exactly one scene that I can still visualize in my head, and it was just Nancy (I assume) with her hands tied. And the only reason I remember the scene, is because it said something about holding out your hands a specific way when being tied up, so that when the person is gone, you can twist your wrists another way so that the tie has slack and can slide your hands out.

I don’t remember the details, if there were any, for how exactly all that worked. But I just remember that explanation. And even in the book, I’m not even sure it worked, or if it was a ‘oh yeah, there’s this trick! ...Wait, I didn’t do it right, nevermind’. None of the characters, none of the mysteries, just one life hack that may not even work.

#Same for Cam Jansen in only remembering her main thing of almost literal photographic memory #To this day; I sometimes have the urge to say 'click' to try and remember things #But my mind is not a pinboard of perfect photos; it's whatever is thrown at it that stuck

When Jameson was little, he used to sneak through the fireplace entrance of his grandfather's room on nights when he couldn't sleep with his beloved teddy bear in tow, courtesy of Aunt Zara. Tobias Hawthorne, having grown used to this, always waited in his grand leather chair with a book in hand. The two of them came up with a secret knock to signal when Jamie wanted to come in and so that Tobias knew it was his grandson arriving for a bedtime story. Eventually, as Jameson got older and stopped coming over for stories but spontaneously needed to see his grandfather, he continued relying on the knock for years and in return, so did the old man.

Tobias would wait for his grandson to sit on his lap and then they'd read books, mostly mystery books. At the time, Jamie was only starting to grasp chapter books and they would read a few chapters before the 7-year-old inevitably fell asleep against his grandfather's chest. They would read a few chapters together and the old man encouraged him to take the reins so that by the end of their session, Jameson would read one to two chapters on his own. On occasion, he would bring Xander along with him because he also couldn't sleep or had a bad dream and he'd go to his brother's room for comfort. From there, Jameson would be ready to go and lead him through the secret passages to their grandfather's room. After they settled in and got to reading, since Xan was younger, he'd always fall asleep relatively quickly while Jamie lingered awake but was a few blinks away from slumber, too.

Eventually, Jameson's love for books took off and as he became a more avid reader (read: devourer of books), he took on more turns reading with such eagerness that sometimes he’d end up finishing all the allotted chapters for the night and essentially put himself to sleep, not giving the old man any chances to alternate with him. In those instances, his grandfather simply chuckled and teased him about it the following evening. Some of his favorite childhood books  included the Geronimo and Thea Stilton books (he was obsessed with the Thea Stilton mysteries), A to Z Mysteries, Cam Jansen, The 39 Clues, A Series of Unfortunate Events, and many more. As his dependence on his grandfather waned in terms of reading, on the evenings that Xander still came to his room, he'd let his his little brother choose a book to read and then he would make him get under the covers so he could start the book. As expected, Xander would listen attentively until he got sleepy again and fell asleep at which point Jameson would also tuck himself into bed, read a little longer before calling it a night as well. Tobias Hawthorne sometimes came to check on them if they slept in more than usual and he'd find the brothers fast asleep with Xander hugging a toy dragon and Jameson's favorite teddy while Jameson's arm was slung over his brother in a protective hug.

In reference to the last post: Growing up, I had been a voracious reader, and when those catalogues would come in from school to order books, I would always run to my mom to ask her to order books. Of course, being a child, I wanted to read books about knight and dragons, about Garfield the cat and Animorphs and Cam Jansen. My mom would order them, but she would also slip in other books. Katarina. The Diary of Anne Frank. The story of Harriet Tubman. The Outsiders. Stories about the trail of tears, the underground railway, Muslim heroes, and she would ask me to read those, and I did. Those stories made me cry, made me think, and made me who I am today. I also read a hell of a lot of fiction too. I thank my mom for that, for not coddling me, for always keeping me informed. You cannot hide from the truth of the world, even from a young age. When you open your eyes and listen, you will not accept any bullshit. You will not just nod and follow along for the sake of your own safety. The thing is that, of course you need mental health breaks. We as humans aren't designed to ruminate on one thing 24/7. But the trend behind those posts I see circulating are people in the notes saying "oh I felt guilty I wasn't sharing this makes me feel better" and "just because I don't say anything doesn't mean I don't care", the gist of being that they need someone to coddle them, to make them feel good about their silence. Again, what you do on social media is not at all reflective of what who you are. No one has a right to judge you for that. Your blog could be your safe space and you are out there doing activism. You might not be saying anything in your social media space but you are keeping yourself informed. However, I feel like when you feel compelled to reblog a post like that to assuage some sense of guilt, I feel the need to ask "well, why are you feeling guilty?"

Your first crush was a book character.

I had to think hard about this one. I'm not sure. First crush I remember was on a boy in my class in elementary school. But my memory that far back is spotty, and I did read every Cam Jansen mystery I could get my hands on around the same time, so it's entirely possible that she was first.

A few last submissions that I'm not sure count for this tournament, but it would be interesting to see how they fare against all these Sherlocks.

Nancy Drew

The Hardy Boys

Cam Jansen

Encyclopedia Brown

In the case of Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys, their detective "style" is based mostly on active participation- hunting for details, asking questions, etc., And Brown has a much more person-focused style, while he uses logic to sort through the information he has, he often relies primarily on testimony, and catching people in their lies. The Holmes style is focused on careful observation of easily accessible information, and very rarely makes use of testimony from witnesses or suspects. Bc these are children's stories, and intended to be positive role models, the characters also necessarily lack his trademark antisocial tendencies and drug habits, and can only make partial use at best of his erratic moods.

I'm in the fence about Cam Jansen. She has a detective style relying primarily on easily missed details, as well as a clear Watson, but that's it, no personality or lifestyle overlap, and not a deerstalker in sight. If anyone has thoughts on her, or disagrees with my assessment of the other detectives, please let me know!

one of the better parts of my 2023 (all in all a miserable, stressful year) was getting into detective fiction in a serious way. It started because in the spring semester I took an Egyptian Archaeology class, and for the first day of class our assigned reading was the first chapter of our textbook on egyptology and that introductory chapter discussed the Egyptomania phenomenon of the 19th century and mentioned that the murderous mummy come back to life trope was owes much early popularity to Arthur Conan Doyle's "Lot No. 249". And I was so intrigued that after I finished my assigned reading I found a pdf of that short story and read it. And then found an audiobook on youtube (magpie audio) and listened to it. And then started working through audiobooks of ACD's other short stories. And then his Sherlock Holmes stories. And also some Edgar Allen Poe mysteries and detective stories. And recently I've started reading Agatha Christie. anyways, I've always liked detective stories (growing up my favorite series was Encyclopedia Brown, and Cam Jansen was another favorite) and many of my favorite plot tropes for sci-fi stories are uncovering mysteries, and my favorite type of ghost story is solving a cold case etc. so makes sense.

#I do not care for true cr*me at all tho. real life is never so charming as the personalities and plots contrived by clever authors #its more I like when a compassionate little weirdo puts puzzle pieces together
