It‘s time for our next #NancyDrewBR discussion, #LittenDetectives ! I have 5 questions posted. You can find them on my feed, the book‘s feed, or by searching the group‘s hashtag.
Our next caper is The Clue in the Jewel Box. More details tomorrow!

As for the other characters, we of course have Bess and George and their significant others trying to solve the mysteries. We're also introduced to the Smiths and Mrs. Chatham and Trixie. I was not a fan of Mrs. Chatham! Thoughs?
There's one point where Carson loses his normal calm composure when searching for Nancy! And, Hannah throwing the Browns off the correct map by disguising the coordinates! #NancyDrewBR
4. Nancy sure ran into lots of issues in this one! I have a headache thinking of the number of times she slams her head and/or is rendered unconscious. And, to a degree, the “Browns“ best her by tricking her into following “clues.“
What did you think of the criminal element in this story? The Browns seemed especially relentless to catch Nancy unawares.
Should Nancy receive medical care for her head? #NNK 😂

3. While we are talking about elements to the story, think about the other aspects--haunted house, kidnapping, missing relatives, etc. How did these add or detract from the story line? To me, they seemed more plausible than exploding oranges! Any element that was your favorite? #NancyDrewBR
2. In this episode, we have a possibly haunted ship cottage, a treasure map, missing relatives, a shifty couple who love to kidnap people, and a small island. So much to unpack! First, the treasure map. I would have loved to see the actual map! What did you think of this element of the story?

1. Thankfully, there are no notable differences between versions of this book! Our friend Mildred Wirt Benson again wrote the story, with the original appearing in 1942 and the revised in 1969. I can find no substantial changes in the 1969 edition, so perhaps the revision focused on updating the text from 1942 to 1969 vernacular.
What did you think of the book overall? Personally, I thought it was way better than the last one! #NancyDrewBR
pickSo much better than the last one! Thank goodness for no exploding oranges or exotic animals! Nancy and the gang are embroiled in a treasure hunt of sorts, with adventures that feature spooky houses, shifty people, and kidnapping galore. Fun, breezy read. #NancyDrewBR
So sorry for the late reminder, but discussion is Thursday in the AM US East Coast time!

pickNot my favorite but passed the time okay. Plenty of hijinks and traumatic brain injuries to discuss with the gang. #NancyDrewBR
Finally Nancy decided to take up a profession - apart from sleuthing. I was already wondering what she was doing when she didn‘t solve a case. 🧐🧐🧐
“‘Why not take Nancy? She‘s had a lot of experience meeting strange people.‘”
That‘s such an understatement! 😂
#NancyDrewBR
pick…and that‘s a wrap. Plenty of convenient coincidences, multiple mysteries, a missing treasure, hidden rooms, and danger for Nancy and her pals every other chapter! This one, at least, is not nearly as ridiculous as The Case of the Exploding NASA Oranges (which I humbly suggest should be the new name of the last book 😂). #nancydrewbr
This book is also an absolute gift per my spoiler posts. 🤣🤣🤣
TWO #NNK in one book! The Nancy Drew goddesses are smiling on us. 🤕🤣🤣🤕

I actually finished Book 19 for #NancyDrewBR last Sunday but I‘m behind in reviews. This one is in the middle for me. There are no exploding oranges or sauna pool of boiling water so the action isn‘t quite as crazy. We are back to Bess being described as “slightly plump” & Nancy is in art school which I don‘t think has ever been mentioned before. Small concussion spoilers ***For those keeping track of the #NNK counter⬇️
Wow, we‘ve almost read twenty of these! Time for some bedtime mystery solving. #NancyDrewBR
#Naturalitsy #HyggeHourReadathon
Spending my #HyggeHour tonight on the couch with Nancy Drew, herbal tea & my last pack of Cadbury Mini Eggs for the season.😢
As usual, the weekend was too short & another busy work week awaits. 😵😵💫

pickAnother delightful Nancy Drew! 💗
10th read for #SeriesRead2022 @TheSpineView
Golden Trio prompt for #OWLsReadingChallenge
pickA split family, 2 pieces of a treasure map, and a sea voyage! Nancy‘s got her work cut out for her on this mystery.
pickI loved getting back to Nancy Drew! Of the 3, The Clue in the Jewel Box was my favorite, and The Secret in the Old Attic was the only one I remember really well from childhood, but I just find reading these so comforting. The mysteries are fun, and all the characters have such a cheerful, optimistic disposition you can‘t help but feel a little bit better about life while you‘re absorbed in the books.

Some #Missing titles from my book stacks. I‘ve read (or in the case of one, listened to) all of these book except Still Missing which is loaded on my Kindle #TBR.
pickAnother good one for #nancydrewchallenge - 18 down!
Nancy tries to reassure a new friend about the safety of her new job, stumbling into several connected mysteries. She must track down a long-lost relative, resolve a ghost story, find both pieces of a treasure map (and find the treasure) - all while staying one step ahead of the villains!
This February I am going to re-read the Nancy Drew Books I ❤️ as a kid.
I need a good literary palate cleanser. 🔎 🔦

I thrifted a great Nancy Drew puzzle on my walk!
