Welcome to Litsy!

This was so fun! Kind of a diverse but still in the 50s Nancy Drew kind of mystery graphic novel (though I think Goldie is a bit more bold than ol‘ Nancy ever was! I‘m glad I have all the volumes here to read over the next couple days/weeks! #scarathlon #teamslaughter 16 points #bookspinbingo

I read this for the #2020ReadHarderChallenge (prompt: read a mystery where the victim isn‘t a woman). So much fun! I‘m tearing through this entire series and it‘s a lovely palate cleanser. The queer romance was an unexpected delight too. Love it!

Fun #graphicnovel/ #comic for #Booked2019 challenge. Veronica Mars meets Nancy Drew!

#LetsTravelAugust Day 13: Fats‘ review: “Watch out, Nancy Drew! There‘s a new detective in town! Meet Goldie Vance, a sixteen-year-old who lives in a Florida resort that is managed by her dad. Goldie works as a valet in the resort but she also loves a good mystery. She dreams of becoming the #hotel‘s in-house detective.” Her review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-kyj

Super cute, super fast read about Goldie Vance, girl detective. The retro style gives off big Nancy Drew energy, but Goldie and her friends are super modern. A fun mystery adventure series that I‘ll definitely have to continue reading!

16 year old Goldie Vance is curious and loves solving mysteries in the Florida hotel she works at and her dad manages.

This was such a cute start to the series. I loved Nancy Drew so when is we this was compared to that I had to get it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Loved this comic book collection - Goldie is a fantastic character but so is everyone else. I really like the retro setting and the art style. It‘s everything I loved about Nancy Drew but written with a modern sensibility - totally recommenced.

I found this while browsing my library‘s ebook offerings last night. I devoured it in one sitting! Goldie works as a parking valet at the hotel her father manages and also helps the inhouse detective when a priceless necklace goes missing. A fun read similar to Nancy Drew with lots of action.

[#ComicBookReview] Goldie Vance Vol 1 was such an amazing beginning to this sweet mystery story! Goldie is a character you really root for and love. Between he color scheme/art style and being on the journey to solve mysteries this comic had me invested the entire time. I highly recommend this comic book series! 🔍💎

Mild pick. Cute art, and an interesting protagonist. It is compared to Lumberjanes a lot, although I think Lumberjanes is better developed, both in characters and plot. Younger fans of that series will like this one, I think.

This was a super cute wholesome mystery. Goldie is similar to Nancy Drew but more willing to take risks to solve the case. I can't wait to read more!

4am reading 😴

And a really cute comic. 16-year old Goldie valets at her Dad‘s hotel, but ‘helps out‘ the on-site detective when she can. A fun read, diverse characters, bonus points for having a mum who works as a mermaid 🧜‍♀️.

Let‘s try again with the sleep thing now!

Goldie Vance is the bad ass teen detective I never knew I needed. Sorry Nancy Drew, Goldie Vance just replaced you in my heart ♥️

I haven‘t read a graphic novel in a while and this was the perfect one to pick up. Goldie is smart and spunky and willing to break a few rules. Fun, quick read.

This was one super fun! Great, clean YA read!

4⭐️ I love Goldie!! Today has been an off day- I had coffee for the first time in a month and it has thrown my body out of wack- guess it‘s a sign I need to stick with just Tea! ANYHOO, I started this one because o couldn‘t put enough concentration into an Audio or one of my other books, so this is the GN I picked ! Thanks SCRIBD!💙

Good start to the series.

Now this is a great way to read a mystery. I love Goldie‘s brashness & the way she‘ll forge ahead with what she knows is right even if it means breaking the rules. In this one a missing necklace leads to a bigger mystery involving kidnapping, racing, Russians & space. The whole attitude of the story is fun & I can‘t wait to see more as I read the other 3 volumes I have waiting for me 😊

Loooove this. Nancy Drew meets Eloise meets Grease meets Lumberjanes. This is so cute and the mystery genuinely had my interest, curiosity, and full attention. Appropriate for all ages. Definitely recommended!!

This was so much fun! I enjoyed it so much more than I thought I would since I tend to not be too hot on mystery stories. But the 60s time period won me over. Plus Goldie herself is impossible not to root for. I can‘t wait to pick up the rest of the volumes at work tomorrow!

This is a true all ages comic! Goldie is so sassy and smart that you cannot stop reading to see what she will do next! I wish I had a friend a awesome as Goldie when I was 16. I cannot wait to pick up the next volume.

Cute detective series set in a Florida hotel in the space racey early 60s with car races and diners and international espionage and a lovely diverse cast 😍 #mommyreads #comics #woc #queer #booksandcoffee

#bookclub night! I talked my group into reading another graphic novel (we‘re now at 2 a year and my goal is 3 😄).
Fun discussion and good food. Perfect night is perfect.

I heard Goldie Vance was being adaptated into a movie written by Rashida Jones so obviously I had to read it. And it's so cute! Very much in the vein of Nancy Drew but with an Eloise living-in-a-hotel kind of twist. Lots of mystery, adventure, and hijinks. Also lots of great diversity: most of the characters aren't white and Goldie has a crush on a cute girl at the record store.

I think it'd be a great comic recommendation for kids and teens.

Sass attack... Sugar sure looks like she‘s got that going on right here in Goldie Vance! #letsgetgraphicweeklongmarathon #comics #goldievance #sassattack @TricksyTails @Clwojick #speechbubblechallenge

LOVE the sound effects in this book!

This may well be the cutest girl detective comic ever! Goldie's an apprentice sleuth who's able to suss out the perps' motives and predict their moves because she pays attention to people, which she does because she genuinely cares. I love her friendships, too, and her crush is awful sweet.

Even though there're a few teenage activities, I'd say this first vol is all-ages. Kids might miss some stuff, but they'll still love it. #comics #queerbooks

File under good news... one of my favorite comics will be a movie sometime in the near future! So exited!

⭐⭐⭐/5

Goldie Vance (vol. 1) was the second book I finished during #deweys24hourreadathon

🔍 Subtle yet sweet LGBT storyline
🔍 Fun mystery with an unexpected, out-of-this-world twist

Where was this comic when I was growing up? A smart, talented, athletic, girl of color as a Nancy Drew like amateur detective? YES PLEASE. Add that she has a crush on an equally smart, fun, brave, cute girl and you have someone staying up late to read all of volume 1 and an avid fan. Perfect art style for the feel of this comic also. I am going to have to pick up the paper version of these. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

So. Much. Fun. It's like a mash up between Veronica Mars and Grease, and I loved every second of it. Also, Goldie has a crush on another girl and I am here for casual queer rep.

Perfect for the reader who loved Nancy Drew, but wishes that series had more girls crushing on girls and less all-the-white-people.

LOVE. The mystery is intriguing, the cast is very likeable, and Goldie is such a badass. Perfect summer read!

Another month over and done! This first month of really settling into my new job has nearly doubled my books read this year 💖 onto July!

This was recommended to me awhile ago by a kind litten- and I loved it! Gorgeous illustrations, Goldie's mystery solving zeal is infectious - although did she just save a Nazi? And how old is she supposed to be? (The car thing always confuses me in American books)

#junebookbugs For #multiethnic I'm going to have to spruik Goldie Vance again. Just can't get enough of that gorgeous artwork, and I love the diversity!

I love using Hoopla, especially for graphic novels, but why do they have issues #9, 11, and 12, but not #10 in this series?????

Such a fan of the artwork in Goldie Vance! Seriously, how cute is this?!

I've been reading these with my son, and they're great! I picked it up because of the tag line: "Scoot over Nancy Drew." Yes, please. It's smart and fun and has an excellent cast of diverse characters.

#rockinmay #mysteriousways It's mysterious how my TBR list just keeps growing, no matter how many books I read 😆

Nancy Drew-esque alternate cover art 😍

YOU GUYS. GOLDIE IS A QUEER, BIRACIAL GIRL DETECTIVE. THIS IS GIVING ME SO MUCH LIFE.

FINALLY FINDING THIS AT THE LIBRARY HAS BEEN THE BEST BDAY GIFT EVER OMG

Adorable graphic novel about a young queer woman of colour who is a detective, drag racer and total badass? YES, PLEASE!!! This was super fun. Thanks so much @BookishMarginalia!! ❤️😍📚🎉 #queerbooks

@BookishMarginalia Thanks for this!! It looks so fun! I'm going to read it to my nieces tonight! 💜💜💜
