Another fun, light mystery in the Nancy Drew series and my 6th book for #SeriesRead2022 @TheSpineView

I managed 11 bingo squares this month, which is pretty good for me, but I feel like I was intentionally trying not to get a bingo 😂 Maybe next month! #bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks

This also filled the Unfogging the Future Prompt for the #OWLsReadingChallenge

tokorowilliamwallace What are all the prompts for the #owlsreadingchallenge? I didn't find a master legend post. I probably would complete it, but it would be fun for mood reading and in thrift shopping! 3y

I haven‘t read a Nancy Drew book in such a long time, and I don‘t remember ever reading this one when I was a kid. Nancy and three friends are sailing from Rotterdam to NYC when Nancy sees someone on the dock signing her name to someone else on board the ship. There‘s a mysterious trunk, stolen jewels, masked intruders - lots of mayhem and fun! Of course Nancy figures everything out in the end. And this book made me chuckle unintentionally...

LauraBrook ... Nancy constantly refers to signing/using sign language as fingering or using the finger language. That makes me think of the Finger Lakes and the SNL Lawrence Welk sketches and Dooneese. I couldn‘t stop laughing! #deweysoct book 6 5y

I thought of this brass-titled Nancy Drew mystery I read years ago. I suppose if you found a brass-bound trunk full of jewelry & documents, you would have #BrassinPocket at least maybe from a reward?😉 Also I once made the Brass-Bound Trunk Candy from The Nancy Drew Cookbook for a book tour review. (Link 👇🏻if you want to see it) but you don‘t want it “in pocket“ as it will melt! 😆

Let‘s call this a pick minus. I enjoyed the sleuthing elements, and the secrets of the trunk. But Nancy just happening to “listen in” on a finger-spelling conversation that mentions her by name, on the dock in Rotterdam? Not so much.

Number 17 down for #nancydrewchallenge (skipping number 18 and the exploding oranges, alternate title to come later).

Nancy gets involved with jewel thieves in a mystery on board an oceanliner. Pure nostalgia for me. I love these books.

BarbaraTheBibliophage Nice pick!! 👊🏻♥️📚 6y

Cinfhen I should try a reread of a Nancy Drew!!! 6y

minkyb I am afraid to reread @Cinfhen because they hold such an important place in my love of reading I would be crushed if they did not hold up. Basically I am a chicken! 😂 6y

Cinfhen I can respect that fear @minkyb sometimes beloved objects from childhood need to remain in childhood 💝nice to “hear” from you😘 6y

I got my first Homemade Decades box (1930s) last week - it was filled with great stuff!
Along with the book sleeve, book, and scrabble tile decoration, there was a Wizard of Oz coloring book and pencils, candy, bracelet, charm keychain, and a cute Madeline tote! Lots and lots of loveliness, I was thrilled to see all of these awesome presents!
Thank you so much, @mrsamandahood !

bitterbear What!!!!!!??????!!!!!! I'm intrigued!! How amazing is this! 8y

LauraBrook @bitterbear It's pretty great! I was amazed at how much stuff (and quality stuff) was in the box, especially for the price. You should check it out! Every box is a different decade. The next one is 1910s! 8y

bitterbear EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! Where when how !!! 8y
