I read this over the weekend and just had to stop to capture this perfect passage about books/reading. I need to frame it, it's that good.

Fellow #NancyDrewBR I need your help! My mother read ND as a girl, which would have been late 60s/early 70s & remembers a part of a book that she read, but can't find now. It's likely because of the updated editions, but she wants to see if she can find the title of said book. If anyone encounters this snippet, during our rereads, please let me know! 😊
This is what she recalls: (see comment below)
