Welcome to Litsy!

Nancy Drew books were my first chapter book obsession. I read tons of them, with the encouragement of my school librarian.

This one was published in 1962, and it shows 🤣. The phrase “getting me down” was used more than once.

Even though I thought the writing was lacking, it was fun to taste the nostalgia of this reread.
It was my #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

It‘s been years since I‘ve read Nancy Drew, but my topics bookclub is reading “childhood favorites“ in January so I‘m going in!

Arthur Pepper has been on my kindle for ages, and it fits the #booked2023 prompt for “Proper noun in the title.”

Thanks for keeping me guessing about what I‘ll be reading every month @TheAromaofBooks ! I love #bookspin!

38 down for #nancydrewchallenge - unlikely we‘ll finish the whole series this year but we‘re plugging along.

A life-size dancing puppet is plaguing an amateur theater troupe, and Nancy steps in to unravel this tangled mystery. As usual, several seemingly-unrelated threads come together and Nancy sorts everything out.

Quickly Mr. Landow explained what had happened. When Mrs. Burke kept insisting the two men had taken her valuable emerald necklace, the officers said they would make a #search.

I was starting to despair, none of my hardcovers had cool endpapers! Even my beautiful illustrated complete Chronicles of Narnia failed me! Then I remembered my mom's old Nancy Drews and I was saved. (Actually the bottom book is a Dana Girls mystery, also written by "Carolyn Keene" the same fake author as Nancy Drew.) #readjanuary #endpapers
