#NancyDrewBR

Bartescue is just awful. Anytime he‘s in a scene I think of Julia Sugarbaker and Ray Don.

I continued with my yearlong reads standing on the right

I continued with the monthlong reads; Lark Rise to Candleford #HashtagBrigade, Sense and Sensibility #PemberLittens #JaneAustenThenAndNow and Hard Times #WhatTheDickens

I finished Gliff, read Wild Houses and started The Haunted Bridge

I‘m still listening to The Christmas Bookshop

I‘m also reading Anne Frank‘s Diary #Netherlands #foodandlit

They waited at the fountain till after 9 PM and now Nancy wants to call on people at their homes to gather information?? Nancy is letting her enthusiasm override her manners.

No Nancy Noggin Knockouts in this one, but some hefty hand trauma that hinders Nancy while playing for the golf championship at a ritzy club where she, Bess, George, and the boys are there to help Carson Drew nab a gang of jewel thieves. Nothing out of the ordinary about this story! Nancy's pretty much a golf pro; Burt, Dave, and Ned are first-aid experts, and Burt is a champion sprinter who nabs a bad guy. What's not to like in this fun romp?

The look and feel of the illustrations has been changing (a bit) throughout the series but I feel like they made a big jump in this book. Suddenly the girls look like they are from the late 60s/ early 70s whereas the oldest one here (from Red Gate Farm) looks like they're still in the 40s.
I'm not sure I noticed that when I was a kid but I'm enjoying the differences now.

#WhereAreYouMonday

I'm at a mountain lodge *somewhere* with Nancy, Bess, and George. 😁

All serious books (talking to you, LES MIS) read for the day? ✔️ Fire going? ✔️ Dog toys nearby in case doggies need 'em? ✔️ Water dish filled? ✔️ Matt and Denise's drinks filled? ✔️ Both people in reading position? ✔️ Little G (Kate) finished being the Little General for the evening? N.E.V.E.R. It's a 7-24 job with LOTS of barking. Aspirin taken? ✔️

Book? Tagged. Ready for a breezy read? 🤩

Starting this today for #nancydrewbr I thought I had recently read it, but nope 🤣 this is printed in 1972, hence the sassy scarf 🤣

We‘re two weeks away from our next #NancyDrewBR discussion, #LittenDetectives !

The idea of a haunted bridge makes me a bit nervous, but I‘m sure the intrepid Nancy will solve the mystery!

Discussion on January 15th.

January‘s #NancyDrewBR involves the theft of jewels and a footbridge that is guarded by a ghost. How will Nancy solve these mysteries? What other amazing skills will we learn she has?

4✨ It has been so long since I read a Nancy Drew book. I‘m so glad I picked this up again because I found myself wishing I had more time to read it. Now that I‘m older I think I can appreciate the older style of writing that didn‘t make a lot of sense to me as a kid. Nancy is working her way to a golfing tournament at a hotel she is staying at with her two besties Beth and George.⬇️

Cleaning and getting rid of toys my oldest doesn‘t want. If you look closely you can see her arm. I‘m just guiding step by step to make sure it gets done to get ready for new things she‘s getting for Easter. Honestly, I‘m mostly reading while she makes a bigger mess. 😅

March 31 #SavvySettings Bridge This one is number 15, I strictly remember the cover more then anything. My favorite teen author. @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

International jewel thieves, a golf tournament, a creepy dude and a haunted footbridge. Nancy has really found herself a doozy of a case this time!

“Barty was ahead before he came to the sixteenth hole,“ George revealed. “He didn‘t need to cheat for the match already was his. He just couldn‘t bear to take a #penalty”

Still reading my Nancy Drew‘s. The tagged volume is one of my favorites so far!

These are some of the first mysteries I remember reading as a child. I love the cover of The Haunted Bridge, but I'm pretty sure it gave me nightmares (it still might!) I really want to reread these, along with my other Nancy Drew books & Trixie Belden. #ReadingResolutions #MysteryMonday

I picked up the 1937 edition on the left the the other day. I wanted to compare the text, as I've heard they were somewhat rewritten in later editions. I read the first chapter of the original, then read the first chapter of the 1972 edition. Very different! The gist was the same, but it was certainly a more substantial rewriting than I was expecting! Now I'll have to read all of each of them to find out how the rest was changed!

Nostalgia is still propelling me through the series…📚

My mom has been collecting these old Nancy Drew hardbacks and whenever I find one I think she might not have and it's not crazy expensive, I grab it. Going to give them to her when she visits for Xmas.

Thanks for the awesome #bookstack #giveaway @Liberty 😄😄 #bookfriday2017

Published in 1937, The Haunted Bridge is perfect for today's #uncannyoctober prompt: published in the 1930s. I must be the only person who doesn't own The Grapes of Wrath 😂

#Coale is secure in his manhood and says that Nancy Drew books are great and you don't have to be a girl to read them. 😼 #breakingboundaries #catsofLitsy #PerfectPets

#AwesomeAutumnBooks

My daughter found these at the library's used book sale. I loved these when I was her age.

There are dozens of Nancy Drew books and have 54, so I grabbed one to represent for #favbookishfriendships who are Nancy, Bess, and George. I will include Ned Nickerson as well since he is more on the scene than Bess and George's beaux.
