So much better than the last one! Thank goodness for no exploding oranges or exotic animals! Nancy and the gang are embroiled in a treasure hunt of sorts, with adventures that feature spooky houses, shifty people, and kidnapping galore. Fun, breezy read. #NancyDrewBR

So sorry for the late reminder, but discussion is Thursday in the AM US East Coast time!

BarkingMadRead So much better! 4h

Not my favorite but passed the time okay. Plenty of hijinks and traumatic brain injuries to discuss with the gang. #NancyDrewBR

Finally Nancy decided to take up a profession - apart from sleuthing. I was already wondering what she was doing when she didn‘t solve a case. 🧐🧐🧐

Librarybelle Haha! So true! 11h

“‘Why not take Nancy? She‘s had a lot of experience meeting strange people.‘”

That‘s such an understatement! 😂

…and that‘s a wrap. Plenty of convenient coincidences, multiple mysteries, a missing treasure, hidden rooms, and danger for Nancy and her pals every other chapter! This one, at least, is not nearly as ridiculous as The Case of the Exploding NASA Oranges (which I humbly suggest should be the new name of the last book 😂). #nancydrewbr
This book is also an absolute gift per my spoiler posts. 🤣🤣🤣

Librarybelle Yay!!! 2d

I actually finished Book 19 for #NancyDrewBR last Sunday but I‘m behind in reviews. This one is in the middle for me. There are no exploding oranges or sauna pool of boiling water so the action isn‘t quite as crazy. We are back to Bess being described as “slightly plump” & Nancy is in art school which I don‘t think has ever been mentioned before. Small concussion spoilers ***For those keeping track of the #NNK counter⬇️

DebinHawaii …& Nancy Noggin Knockouts, she get knocked out twice!🤕🤕Once accidently by a slightly bratty child who knocks a croquet mallet down from a shelf (while bound & gagged nonetheless) & then again on a boat when it lurches & she falls backward. So the #NNK is now at 9/19 & I have serious concerns about her head. Also Ned wants her to take her mind off the mysteries & think of him. Yeah, whatever Ned. 🙄I look forward to the discussion in a few days. 3d

Spending my #HyggeHour tonight on the couch with Nancy Drew, herbal tea & my last pack of Cadbury Mini Eggs for the season.😢

As usual, the weekend was too short & another busy work week awaits. 😵😵‍💫

lauraisntwilder I've been so busy lately I haven't read the last two -- and they're the last ones I own. My library system doesn't have any this far into the series, so I think I'm going to bow out. I still hope to read 17 & 18 this month. 🤞 Thank you SO MUCH for doing this. I've really enjoyed it! 4w
Librarybelle Of course, @lauraisntwilder ! Thanks for taking part! 4w

A split family, 2 pieces of a treasure map, and a sea voyage! Nancy‘s got her work cut out for her on this mystery.

I loved getting back to Nancy Drew! Of the 3, The Clue in the Jewel Box was my favorite, and The Secret in the Old Attic was the only one I remember really well from childhood, but I just find reading these so comforting. The mysteries are fun, and all the characters have such a cheerful, optimistic disposition you can‘t help but feel a little bit better about life while you‘re absorbed in the books.

Another good one for #nancydrewchallenge - 18 down!

Nancy tries to reassure a new friend about the safety of her new job, stumbling into several connected mysteries. She must track down a long-lost relative, resolve a ghost story, find both pieces of a treasure map (and find the treasure) - all while staying one step ahead of the villains!
