It‘s time for our #NancyDrewBR discussion, #LittenDetectives ! I have 5 questions posted as spoilers that can be found on my feed, the book‘s feed, or by searching the group‘s hashtag.

Another book, another big difference between the editions! However, next month has only minor differences, so it should be easier for us to discuss! I‘ll post the official reminder for The Haunted Bridge tomorrow.

Thanks for reading with me!

CogsOfEncouragement Thanks for hosting! 6d
Ruthiella Wonderful! This was lots of fun as usual. 6d
PurpleyPumpkin My library hold for this one just materialized today!🙃 6d
AnneCecilie I haven‘t started the book, but will go back once I have 6d
DebinHawaii This one was better than the last one or two for me! 6d

Great discussion for this month‘s book, #LittenDetectives ! It seems we‘re all in agreement about the over the top nature of the Ivory Charm.

December‘s book varies greatly between the versions, but both contain…wait for it…a whispering statue. Let‘s hope this one is a bit less convoluted.

Discussion on December 15th. All are welcome to join. Please comment is you wish to be added or removed from the tag list! #NancyDrewBR

DGRachel Here‘s hoping this one is better since my library doesn‘t have it, so I‘ll have to buy it. 🤞🏻 1mo
Librarybelle Let‘s hope it‘s better, @DGRachel ! 1mo

Ruthiella Sounds like it‘s going to be a little supernatural in theme… 👻 1mo
Bookwormjillk Just put a hold on the library ebook. I‘m glad they have it. I think I prefer the later versions to the 1930‘s versions. 1mo
Librarybelle Glad they have it, @Bookwormjillk ! 1mo

Alright #LittenDetectives : It‘s time for our #NancyDrewBR discussion!

I‘ve posted 5 questions as spoilers. You can find them on my feed, the book‘s feed, or by searching the group‘s hashtag.

Next month‘s book, The Whispering Statue, is another one with big differences between the texts.

In 1937, Nancy finds a statue that supposedly whispers & looks like her.

In 1970, Nancy is involved in a mystery around rare books & a stolen statue.

Librarybelle I‘ll post the official reminder tomorrow! 1mo
Bookwormjillk I'm going to look for the 1970 version. 1930's Hannah annoys me. 1mo
Laughterhp Oops haven‘t read this months yet. 1mo
DebinHawaii Hopefully it‘s better. I‘m not sure whether I read it before or not. 1mo

I agree with @DGRachel …this is my least favorite so far. While it has tunnels and a few hits on the head, this just seemed to lack some of the sparkle in other Nancy Drew books. It also seemed a little convoluted, and I know we have to suspend reality at times with these novels. Younger me did not read this one, and I think younger me would have a similar reaction.

Discussion tomorrow, #LittenDetectives ! #NancyDrewBR

DogMomIrene I‘m watching Castle for comfort. FBI agent tries to demean Rick Castle by referring to him as Nancy Drew and Castle quips back “Is that supposed to be an insult because Nancy Drew solved every case” and it made me think of you guys rereading her legacy of crime solving! 1mo
Librarybelle @DogMomIrene Castle is a great show! 1mo
Ruthiella I think the ghost writer was just phoning this one in for a paycheck. 🙃 1mo

Bookwormjillk Got about 80 pages in last night and this one is just weird 1mo
Librarybelle Good theory, @Ruthiella ! 1mo
Librarybelle It gets stranger, @Bookwormjillk ! 1mo
julieclair I was debating whether I‘d have time to read this one this month. Now I can‘t decide if I should definitely not bother, or if I definitely should because my curiosity is piqued! 😂 1mo
Librarybelle @julieclair 😂 Totally up to you! 1mo
TheAromaofBooks All the others I have vaguely remembered when I started reading, but this one seemed completely unfamiliar to me. It definitely felt like the weakest so far in terms of actual plotting - the coincidences were through the roof in this one! 1mo
Librarybelle @TheAromaofBooks They so were! 1mo

Repost for @Librarybelle

#LittenDetectives : Our next Nancy Drew adventure involves an ivory charm (imagine that)!

Thankfully, both versions are similar with a few changes, not like the vastly different plot lines in the last two books!

Discussion will take place on November 15th. Everyone is welcome to join! Please let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the tag list! #NancyDrewBR

Librarybelle Thanks for reposting! 2mo
JenlovesJT47 @Librarybelle can you add me to the list please? I‘ve never read any Nancy Drew books but it sounds like fun! Are you reading them in order? 2mo
Librarybelle @JenlovesJT47 We are! We started the end of last year and are now up to book 13. 2mo
JenlovesJT47 @Librarybelle awesome! I‘m going to start with book 1 and try to catch up ASAP 🤓 2mo

DGRachel Yay! My library actually has this one. Fingers crossed my hold comes in on time! 2mo
dabbe I hope it's not going to be about poaching elephants or something of that nature. 😱 2mo
Librarybelle Me too, @dabbe ! 2mo
Ruthiella Looking forward to this! Now we are well into the books I didn‘t read or have access to as child. It‘s an adventure! 2mo
Bookwormjillk I think I have the 1930‘s version of this one too. It‘s a relief to hear they‘re more similar this time! 2mo
Sace Can‘t wait! 2mo
Librarybelle @Ruthiella It definitely is! 2mo
Librarybelle @Bookwormjillk Yes! From what I read, there are some name changes and maybe some slightly condensed scenes, but same storyline. It‘ll make for easier discussions! 2mo
julieclair Oh my, @dabbe , I hadn‘t even thought of that. But given the date this was written, it‘s certainly possible. 😢 2mo

#LittenDetectives : I finally managed to post 5 questions! I normally use the Litsy website to do these, but the site was causing me major issues this morning. Yikes!

Please find the questions on the book‘s feed, my feed, or by searching #NancyDrewBR .

Next month‘s book is The Mystery of the Ivory Charm, and it appears that both editions are similar in plot.

I will post next month‘s info tomorrow!

Librarybelle I forgot to mention that this is another book written by Mildred Benson. The 1972 edition was revised by Grace Gote and Harriet S Adams. 2mo
Ruthiella Sorry the posting was such a chore! Thank you for running this read along. It is such fun. 😃 2mo
Bookwormjillk Thank you! 2mo

#LittenDetectives : 2 weeks until our next #NancyDrewBR discussion! What will Nancy find in the hollow oak? Whether in Canada or at a dig site in the states, you just know Nancy will run into trouble (and possible head ouchies).

Discussion on the 15th!

DGRachel Have to buy this one - my library doesn‘t even have a copy at all! 3mo
Librarybelle @DGRachel I better check my library! 3mo
Ruthiella Awesome! Looking forward to Nancy‘s next adventure. 3mo
