Nancy Drew 44: The Clue in the Crossword Cipher

Nancy Drew 44: The Clue in the Crossword Cipher | Carolyn Keene

I've been away from Litsy for too long and I miss y'all!! I'd been having trouble with headaches and took a break from extra screentime for a bit, but I'm feeling better lately!
Last weekend I scored this lovely stack of Nancy Drew. My partner and I like to wander antique stores on weekends and I've been trying to finish out my collection of this series since we started the #NancyDrewBR - I've got more than half the series now āŗļø¸

So for my #ReadingTheAmericas2023 reading challenge I decided to get nostalgic for #Peru and read this one set in Peru! I loved Nancy Drew as a little girl so this was a fun and fast read. #bookspin @librarybelle @BarbaraBB @thearomaofbooks

BarbaraBB So fun, Nancy Drew! 13mo

Librarybelle That is so cool!! 13mo

TheAromaofBooks Yay!!! 13mo

Another silly but enjoyable adventure with Nancy and Co. This time they‘re solving a 300-year-old family mystery in Peru, and along the way defeating a sinister smuggler known as El Gato. Problems with Spanish translations were very irritating.

43 complete for #NancyDrewChallenge and last for the year (kiddo has decreed we will finish series regardless); third finish for #24B42020. @Andrew65 @jb72 @TheReadingMermaid

Nancy Drew 44: The Clue in the Crossword Cipher | Carolyn Keene

I find it #surprising that although I'm raising a little bookworm, she is completely uninterested in my Nancy Drew and Trixie Belsen collections! They were my FAVORITES as a kid, but I can't bribe her into trying them. š¯ #aprilamazingreads

LauraBeth This disheartened me too as a mom š” My daughter was all Junie B Jones and I couldn't understand why she didn't want to read what I read as a kid 8y

Melissa_J At least your daughter enjoys reading. Mine hates it š� She'll read the occasional graphic novel, but that's about it. 8y

merelybookish @Melissa_J How old is your daughter? Mine was the same until recently. Now at 11, she's becomes a fierce reader, completely free of my influence or input. 8y

Sace My daughter read some of them. She wasn't obsessed with them. We have the full set and she wants me to keep them for her daughter (if she has one.) 8y

Melissa_J @merelybookish she'll turn 11 in a couple of weeks š I suspect all it will take is the right book (at least that's my hope). She actually loves physical books themselves, just has little interest in what is inside them LOL 8y

GypsyKat Awe! I loved these books! š’— 8y

ReadingEnvy Oh yeah I had Trixie Belden and Bobbsey Twins sets as a kid, and my mom still buys volumes of them when she sees them. (I'm 38.) 8y

IamIamIam Maybe try the newer books in the series. My neighbor tried them at 10 last year & when I read the first couple of pages, they seem very dated. 8y

night_shift My mom read these when she was growing ul and she's collecting them to read again. I couldn't ever get into them. :/ 8y

AlaMich I've got a huge box full of them in my basement, the yellow before yours even. Don't know what to do with them. 8y

howjessicareads @LauraBeth exactly! All Junie B and Judy Moody, which is ok, but... 8y

howjessicareads @Melissa_J sorry!! š• 8y

howjessicareads Lol @ReadingEnvy! 8y

howjessicareads @AlaMich - donate them to a school library...??? 8y

howjessicareads Aw, I ADORED them @UnidragonFrag and @IamIamIam! 8y

howjessicareads Me too @GypsyKat! 8y

howjessicareads @Sace - that seems funny to me, to not want to read them, but want to keep them?? š™‚ 8y

night_shift Well, I've tried at least. My kiddo had no interest in them at all so far. She's more Fancy Nancy. 8y
