1. This month's book has two different versions again:
The original 1937 edition features a whispering statue that resembles Nancy and Nancy's investigation in locating a client's estranged husband.
The 1970 edition also has a whispering statue that looks like Nancy, but Nancy investigates a swindle taking place involving her client and rare books.
Which edition did you read? Overall thoughts on the book? #NancyDrewBR
So it would appear that our spelling book is out of date.
so-soSo close between So-So and Pan. I chose So-So for those who want to read the entire series. But, whoah! Racist, tedious, and poorly written. While there was danger, hidden tunnels, kidnappings, and arson, none of it felt urgent. Nancy even goes to a weekend party at her boyfriend‘s fraternity even though the young boy she‘s “protecting” has been kidnapped. WTF, Nancy? Hard not to eye-roll throughout this one. #oy #NancyDrewBR @Librarybelle

Hard pass on anything jello related although I am guilty of feeding my kids the orange jello cool whip dessert when they were small.

1. This month's discussion is slightly different, as the plot lines for the original and the revised editions are extremely different. Questions 2 and 3 will look at the 1934 and 1965 editions respectively.
Which edition did you read? The 1934 plot line features twins adopted from a foundling home, and Nancy wants to reunite the twins with their real mother.
The 1965 edition has The Flying Dutchmen, an iron bird, and record piracy. #NancyDrewBR

RE: Nancy Drew: What do you do when you're halfway finished with a library loan you've already waited 52 days for, and it expires, and you're told you have to now wait 96 days to borrow it again? You cave into Amazon and buy the damn thing because (of course), you can't wait that long and have to finish it--even though you've read it before in your youth. #oy 🙄

@Eggs (thanks for the tag! 😘)
1. My high school copy of THE GREAT GATSBY. All my notes as a 16-year-old are still in it. I have kept it through the years (now 42 years old). It is held together with a rubber band. 💚
2. That would be early 1980s: all books by Sidney Sheldon, Kathleen Woodiwiss, Rosamond du Jardin, and my precious Harlequin romances.
3. THE SECRET GARDEN.
Play @PageShifter, @Catiewithac?

1. Gulp. I scored 38/100 bildungsromans that I've read. 😱 I have LOTS more coming-of-age books to read! 3 that I haven't read from the list: TELL THE WOLVES I'M HOME, THEIR EYES WERE WATCHING GOD, and IT.
2. 3 I'd like to add to the list: DOGSONG, FOREVER, HUCK FINN.
