This is impossible for me to fairly rate, as I know I‘m the problem. It‘s definitely one of the more believable episodes, so I‘ll give it points for that, but I fell asleep twice. There was a lot of conveniently timed Ned intervention, and plenty of danger for all of the girls. Carson finds himself in trouble, too. George is exceptionally mean to Bess re: food at the very beginning, and I think that soured me on the whole thing. #nancydrewbr

Librarybelle I‘m still not sure why Ned had to randomly show up. It was a bit too convenient. 2h
DGRachel @Librarybelle I‘m annoyed that he was the hero, swooping in to save the day” so often. As a child, I read these for the girl power vibes, not the “even the smartest woman needs a man to save her sometimes”. 2h
Librarybelle Yes! 1h

Never Fade | Alexandra Bracken

Ruby is now working for the League, leading a team of teens with special abilities to try & bring down the corrupt government. The League learn of a possible breakthrough, the reason why they developed these abilities & possibly a way to treat it. This valuable information is safely stored on a flashdrive & Ruby is sent on a side mission to retrieve it (continued)

OutsmartYourShelf - only trouble is, it's sewn into the lining of a jacket currently being worn by Liam Stewart, the boy she loved & left.

In a lot of dystopian trilogies, the middle book hits a bit of a lull but for me this second book was better than the first. The pace & plot never lets up & there are some surprises along the way. There are also some interesting new characters I really liked, namely Vida & Jude. Yeah, I really liked this one. 4🌟

A reread of a childhood favorite with #childrensclassicread2025
The story of Jill and her classmates still stands the test of time as it addresses bullying. I always say it but it was Blume who made me reader and through her books I learned so much.

TheBookHippie I so agree. It‘s still such an important read! 4h

Ghosts, pirates, a bad-smelling perfume, an abandoned home, and a missing Carson Drew. Sounds like a case for Nancy! A fun read with Nancy and her friends. I commented earlier on the abruptness of Ned‘s arrival. And hooray for Bess for showing she can be extra strong in a difficult situation! #NancyDrewBR

I never read the books (wrong era I think). My ex-husband thought our 12-year-old would like it, but he also never read it, just saw the movies. Today she told me "they don't do anything, but they kiss a lot". Well, I got my sex education mostly through books ?

MommyWantsToReadHerBook Don't worry, I have had the talks with her... But books are just so much better 8h

Twist it once, you're horned and haired;
Twist it twice and fangs are bared
Twist it thrice? No one dared!

Oh no Russell thinks it's a silly magic trick and twists it twice. #ISpyBingoAug @TheAromaofBooks
