I just came back from a gigantic book sale for charity that happens in my community every year. I picked up the Nancy Drew books, as they'll be coming up soon in the #NancyDrewBR hosted by @Librarybelle.
Reading the ND books these past months has made me nostalgic for the childhood mystery series I loved, so when I saw these Vicki Barr books, I had to bring them home too!
Librarybelle Love this!! 8mo
Ruthiella Great haul! 👍 8mo
mcctrish I‘ve never heard of Vicky Barr. I used to save my allowance and go to Woolco on the first Tuesday of the month ( sale day ) and buy the next Nancy Drew in the series ( might have been $1.44 day 🤯) 8mo

kwmg40 @Librarybelle @Ruthiella Now that my kids are grown up, I miss buying children's books for them, so I guess I have to buy them for myself. 😂 8mo
kwmg40 @mcctrish I hadn't read many from the Vicki Barr series when I was a child but I did enjoy the Cherry Ames series by Helen Wells. Thanks for sharing your story about how you got the ND books. My parents gave me a budget to spend on monthly Scholastic orders and that's how I got mine. We were not well off so didn't have fancy clothes or toys, but they never skimped on books and good food. 8mo
mcctrish I liked Cherry Ames too ( didn‘t realize the author had another series ) which I must have gotten from the library. My allowance was 25 cents so I must have augmented with birthday and special occasion money or I cut a deal with my parents for books ( most likely ) 8mo
kwmg40 @mcctrish Definitely a good use of allowance and gift money! 8mo
