Being the Senior Investigator in the Detective Mystery Squad, more commonly known as the DMS, she’s ready to uncover the mysteries hidden within the strange manor. As the investigation gears up and the pieces of the puzzle begin to fall into place, the DMS enters into a world where anything is possible, and the danger is most definitely real.

Thanks for popping over! We hope that you will stay and visit with us for a while. Below, you will find an overview of the topics that we discuss on Fairday's Blog! They range from riddles, to reviews, to just things that we like to shout out about : )


What Fairday's Blog! is all about...

Fairday's Riddles are posted on Mondays- they can be written about anything and everything, all at the same time!

 Lizzy's Book Reviews are posted on Wednesdays. Lizzy has read just about every middle grade novel out there, and she loves to share her thoughts and, of course, her opinions.

The Top of the Heap is a post we put up on Thursdays. We thought it would be fun once a week to put up two things that we appreciate and have been thinking about during the week.

Margo's Musings Fridays belong to Margo, Fairday's little sister. This post focuses on reviewing local children's book authors, which we follow up with an Author Interview.

The DMS Wants to Know was a post we came up with for Saturdays because when we get together to hang out on the weekend, we always chat about different situations and ideas that are floating around in our brains and we like to listen to what other people think about them- some of the comments we've gotten have been absolutely fascinating!

    That's a tough one. At first I was like, duh, cell phone. But if you're in the wilderness, reception is probably crap. So I'm going to go full on Katniss style and go for a bow and arrow!

    If I were stuck in the wilderness, aside from the fact I would likely not last long and probably sob and awful lot (I'm a great big giant chicken!) I would like to have a backpack (I hope that's not cheating) filled with a never ending coffee cup, a never uncharging kindle, an always warm blanket and clothes that never got dirty! Ok, so I think all of those things were cheater answers but I really, really, really don't want to get stuck in the wilderness!! Even the idea of it is too scary!

    Thanks for the great giveaway! I follow via GFC as lionelsnod. I would most definitely want a lighter. I'm not sure I could get by without fire. I watch enough Survivor (that's close enough to the wilderness for me) to know that w/o fire I wouldn't last long. Oh, and forget the flint, I want a zippo :)
