Readathon: Occasional List : Geleentheidslys | Gauteng (South Africa). Education Media Service

Kicking off the #AwesomeApril readathon today by hopefully finishing these two books this weekend. After that, who knows? I‘ve got plenty of group reads starting in May - #HashtagBrigade #ClassicLSFBC #LitsySciFiBC #NancyDrewBR & #FurrowedMiddleBrowClub - as well as my #Roll100 and #TBRTarot picks. So much great stuff to choose from! 😃

Silver Wings for Vicki | Helen Wells

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!! 1w

Ruthiella Great haul! 👍 1w

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 🤯) 1w

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. 😂 7d

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. 7d

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 ) 7d

kwmg40 @mcctrish Definitely a good use of allowance and gift money! 7d

I really enjoyed this latest installment of the #NancyDrewBR. It featured some interesting elements: a secret code, a mysterious perfume and even a cult!

#NancyDrewBR #SeriesLove2024

Another fun installment of Nancy Drew. This time she encounters a cult and a crime syndicate. I missed having Hannah in this one but we had more Carson Drew. Glad to have George and Bess around but annoyed we had no mention of Ned.

Librarybelle, Andrew65, TheSpineView

Librarybelle Hooray! Another fun installment indeed! 2w

TheSpineView Fantastic! 2w

Enjoyed this more than the last one. Nancy‘s genius idea at the end to sell admission to see the cave/counterfeit operation to help save the farm was pretty great. 💵

I don‘t have books 7-10 so will be sitting out the next few. Might jump back in for later books. It‘s been so fun to revisit these with you all! #NancyDrewBR

Librarybelle

Librarybelle So glad you could join us! Would you like to still be tagged, in case you‘re able to join us later? 2w

jlhammar @Librarybelle Sure, you can keep me tagged just in case. Thanks! 2w

On the train home Nancy is approached by a man who recognizes the perfume & wants to know if she has a message from the boss. Also on the train they get in contact with Millie. The friends decide to come home with Millie and help get more visitors to the farm she‘s from. While there Nancy learns that part of the land is rented out to a cult
