My collection of #yellow bound Nancy Drew books. Most were mine that I've saved for my daughter. A few I've found recently to work on completing the collection.

#bookspinbingo #doublespin #19

My reviews have been long overdue so I‘m just catching up with the books I finished in the bingo.

I absolutely loved reading these books! The mystery and drama constantly kept me wanting to read more and I ended up reading 4! 😂

Reading them took me right back to middle school. I‘ll be definitely reading more from this series.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
Book description ⬇️

New secondary characters are introduced to populate River Heights and appear over multiple books, adding a framework to Nancy's world. 4y

Day 15 of my #20Days20Series -
Y'all seriously thought that this epic classic wasn't going to be there?! The reason why I read Nancy drew was because of its female lead. But as I progressed, I realised it was so much more than that❤️

P.s- I have now officially finished every series that I have read. The remaining 5 days I will post my TBR series.

#30junebooks @howjessreads #oldfavorite These classic Nancy Drew books are definitely old favourites of mine. My mom used to read them to us before bed and we‘d always cry out “Just one more chapter!” at the end of the night.

SUPER PUMPED that Nancy Drew got a season pickup at the CW! I've been following various ND pilots and this one seems like a winner.

ND "is set in the summer after Nancy‘s high school graduation. She thought she‘d be leaving her hometown for college, but when a family tragedy holds her back another year, she finds herself embroiled in a ghostly murder investigation, and along the way, uncovers secrets that run deeper than she ever imagined."

AsYouWish Oh, that looks good!!! 6y

LibrarianRyan The girl playing ND is the daughter of YA/MG author Lisa Mann 6y

bookandcat @AsYouWish doesn't it?!? @LibrarianRyan I had no idea! That's so cool! 5y

I‘m quite enjoying going back and reading the old Nancy Drew Mysteries. This week I read 5, 6, and 7 from my stack. It is striking however, how much racism and sexism are present in these otherwise charming wholesome novels just because these first few books were written in the 30s. So far that‘s not ruining the experience for me, but we‘ll see how I feel as I keep reading.

3) I‘m currently learning how to crochet and I enjoy coloring
4) Illinois — I have a lot of family there. Unfortunately it snows there sooo it will never happen 😂

I'm loving this Twitter thread about how #nancydrew caused readers to be overprepared for silly things. This is true for me, not just due to the books, but also to the awesome video games. It is true for me, e.g. sometimes in new places I try to figure out where I would go if there was a tornado or something. Someone else pointed out Nancy had a TON of concussions/car crashes 😂

LeahBergen @Suetara Trixie Belden would be awesome! 👍🏻 7y

LeahBergen @Johanna414 @batsy I bought it at Chapters Indigo (our big Canadian book chain). I‘m pretty sure you can find it through B&N and other major chains, though. 🤔 7y

batsy Thank you, I will hunt this down somehow 😆 7y

Johanna414 @LeahBergen thanks! 7y

I‘m not sure what to do with it now that it‘s all put together, but I couldn‘t resist buying this puzzle. I loved Nancy Drew growing up. While I acknowledge the problems with the books, it was nice to see a woman who was admired for being intelligent and capable.

So I am supposed to dress up as Nancy Drew for Halloween but Amazon screwed me over and my magnifying glass won‘t be here until tomorrow. So Halloween is a bust except I now have to go to work in a costume that now makes no sense and deal with a bunch of hopped up on sugar kids. 😭😭😭 I want to go back to bed.

PurpleyPumpkin Aww how annoying!😠But I bet it‘ll still be a great costume. Hope you have fun today!👍🏽 7y

coffeenebula Awwww. Maybe you can make one? Bet there are instructions online somewhere! 7y

Cinfhen Sorry..that‘s super annoying 7y

AlaMich Amazon screwed up on our Halloween tshirts too. We have Prime and we still haven't received after, like, a week. 😠 7y

Do you have a favorite series of books or stack of books that just make you happy by a mere glance at them? My vintage Nancy Drews do that for me. Tell me about your happy books. I'd love to discover some new ones.

batsy ? Have you read the Dana Girls mysteries, also by the "Carolyn Keene" team? I have a handful of my sisters' copies that I've hung on to. 7y

Jess_Read_This @batsy I just got my first copy of a Dana Girls book! The same lady who sold me a few of the nice dj Nancy Drews had one. I couldn't pass it up. I'm kind of excited to compare the two series. 😄I was going to start it this week. 7y

KellyK Love Nancy Drew, girl detective! ❤️ 7y

Tamra Not a series, but I love seeing Edith Wharton, Willa Cather, Maria Sandoz, Patrick Suskind, & other favorite authors all together on shelves. (edited) 7y

Jess_Read_This @KellyK She's just the best! 7y

Jess_Read_This @Tamra ❤️I'm going to have to check out Maria Sandoz and Patrick Suskind. I am not familiar with either author. I haven't read Edith Wharton yet either. 😬 7y

Tamra @Jess_Read_This in my wheelhouse, not necessarily for everyone! 😁 Suskind is not prolific and two are creepy - perfect for Halloween. Perfume & The Pigeon. One short story has a scene with a “booger” on the piano keys at a lesson that my husband and I laughed at with tears rolling & gut aching. 7y

robinb ❤️ Nancy Drew! A current favorite series is the Bess Crawford series (Charles Todd). Also love the Sebastian St. Cyr series (C. S. Harris). Both are historical mystery sets. 7y

AmyG I love your vintage Nancy Drew books! 7y

Jess_Read_This @robinb I've been meaning to read Bess Crawford for so long! I LOVE the St Cyr series. Hands down one of my favorites. Did you see C.S. Harris posted the new cover for Why Kill The Innocent?? It's in black and white; it looks super cool.

Why Kill the Innocent

Jess_Read_This @AmyG Thank you! It's become a new collecting obsession for me. I just love the artwork in the original books. 7y

Jess_Read_This @Tamra Lol!! I just laughed at the idea of a short story having that scene. I'm now for sure going to check Suskind out. 7y

robinb @Jess_Read_This oh wow, I love that cover!! And can‘t wait for it to come out...just wish there wasn‘t such a lag between books. I think you‘ll enjoy Bess! 7y

readinginthedark If you‘re talking about series I read when young, Little House on the Prairie, Boxcar Children, The Chronicles of Narnia, and The Chronicles of Prydain! 7y

wanderlustforwords My Virginia Woolf collection is my favorite!!! 7y

Jess_Read_This @readinginthedark Narnia and the Boxcar Children make me happy too!! I just got my Boxcar paperbacks from when I was kid from my mom and took a trip down memory lane. 7y

Jess_Read_This @wanderlustforwords I think I've seen a few you posted and they are gorgeous. 7y

readinginthedark I should really reread them. I bet my son would love those! 7y

Jess_Read_This @readinginthedark it's been a lot of fun rereading these. Especially reading the original text vs. the revised text. 7y

I know it's not a book but I am enjoying the hell out of this scripted podcast series. Voiced by heavy hitters like Kristen Bell, RuPaul, Anna Chlumsky and countless more.

Bookzombie Thanks for reminding about this! I need to check it out. 🙂 7y
