pick3/4 ⭐️
Faster paced than the last couple I read for the #NancyDrewBR. This one was a fun one. Thanks for hosting @Librarybelle
pickFinally, a Nancy Drew I remember from childhood! All the drama and mystery you'd expect, and Nancy even gets kidnapped and stuffed into a statue! I can truly do without the derogatory remarks about Bess's weight; in fact, this is a much better quote that characterizes her: “Will it be a nice straight mystery, or one that's going to scare the wits out of me?“ This one's a mixture of both, Bess. A fun read with the #NancyDrewBR and @Librarybelle
pickI enjoyed the story and discussion with the #NancyDrewBR group. I'd read the 1937 edition and I love the cover. It did feel very dated, however. Another car runs into Nancy's, and it costs her only $5 to get the bumper repaired!

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!

This plays more into the 1970 edition, but the world of rare book collecting can be cutthroat and full of swindlers like Bassword.
Here is a 2016 article from LitHub that talks a bit about the rare book world and thievery: https://lithub.com/a-visit-to-the-shadowy-world-of-rare-book-theft/

4. Let's talk characters! We have the recurring characters appear in both editions. The 1970 edition Bess seemed really paranoid to me and always hungry and boy crazy (I'm getting a little tired of the constant comments about her eating).
Any thoughts on the characters this time, especially the good and bad characters introduced in the book?
How many who read the 1970 edition also wanted a fudge sundae after reading the book? 😂

3. There is a seaplane incident in the 1937 edition and a sailboat incident in the 1970 edition. Plus, Nancy finds herself in dangerous situations (Nancy stuck in the statue in the 1970 edition made me a little jittery!).
Let's think about the action events that took place in the book. What do you think? (My opinion, the prior two books were lackluster, but this was more plausible). #NancyDrewBR
