AnneCecilie Cary. I‘m about to start the book by Tiller. The Women‘s Prize for Nonfiction Shortlist is announced on Wednesday so my read after the Tiller book might be inspired by that or by the fiction shortlist that is announced on April 2. 2d

The Mystery of the Brass Bound Trunk | Carolyn Keene

so-so

Nancy and friends are on a sea voyage and discover smuggled jewels in a trunk. There were some interesting aspects to the plot but also a few crazily implausible events, like a meteor crashing nearby.

Librarybelle This one was not a favorite of mine either 4d

Ruthiella It wasn‘t so much that the meteor ☄️ was implausible but that it happens and they NEVER MENTION IT AGAIN! 🤣 4d

kwmg40 @Librarybelle That seems to be the general opinion. 1d

kwmg40 @Ruthiella IKR If a meteor landed that close to me, I'd be totally traumatized! 1d

so-so

Somewhat over the top, with no explanations whatsoever how the Nancy Drew gang ended up on a cruise, Nancy of course knowing parts of sign language, a METEOR, and a annoying little boy going on everybody‘s nerves. I hope the next one will be better again. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Librarybelle Me too! 1w

Of course she did! Like her father attending a „How to make and defuse a bomb“ workshop. This family does definitely portray a lot of hidden talents. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Librarybelle They certainly do! 1w

Ruthiella Shocking to me that she didn‘t learn Dutch also for the trip. 😂 (edited) 1w

pick

this installment of the Nancy Drew series was a hit for me because of the wonderful eye rolling laughs it gave me. A meteor? Getting tossed over board? Nancy actually loses a ping pong game 😱? Ad nauseam references to cabin 128? Yes, please! Can‘t wait for the next installment!

#NancyDrewBR @Librarybelle

Ruthiella Haha ! I also noticed that Nancy was allowed to lose the ping pong game. 🏓 1w

Librarybelle I love how we are enjoying these for their eye rolling story lines that are entertaining and keep us coming back for more! 1w

Mystery of the Brass Bound Trunk #17 | Carolyn Keene

so-so

#NancyDrewBR @Librarybelle
If you want to completely suspend your disbelief beyond say--a meteor causing a tidal wave similar to one that upturned the SS POSEIDON, then this book is for you! Jewels hidden in a trunk, international espionage, the captain and purser being beaten up, Nancy and Nelda being thrown overboard, sign language, bratty Bobby, carrying a magnifying glass because you just never know ... for frothy fun? Yes. Maybe. Sorta.

Librarybelle OMG…Bobby! I wanted to scream, “Where are your parents?!?” Total bratty kid! 1w

dabbe @Librarybelle IKR? He needed a good kick in the arse! 🤣 1w

AnneCecilie I‘ve just past the meteor incident. I‘m willing to put my disbelieves to the side for a lot of things in the Nancy Drew books, but a meteor was maybe to push it too far? 1w

bookandbedandtea I've loved rereading every one of these because they transport me back to my childhood and they feel so fun. I'll take all the bright spots I can get right now. That said, adult-me had a LOT of trouble with the meteor! 🤣 1w

dabbe @bookandbedandtea Agree 💯! 1w
