4. We finally meet Ned in this book! Though referenced briefly in a prior book - and that seems to me a continuity issue, given what we learn in this book - Nancy meets Ned at the scene of the fire. There is instant attraction!

I saw some comments from #LittenDetectives that they really enjoyed Bess in this one.

Thoughts to share on Bess, George, or Ned? #NancyDrewBR

BarkingMadRead I love Ned. I don‘t remember him being mentioned before, but they could just be perimenopause 🤣 Bess and George always crack me up, although they aren‘t always super nice to each other! 4d

Bookwormjillk Bess says what we all would be thinking. Can we solve this mystery? I have stuff to do.

Ned was kind of just there. I hope he shows some personality at some point. 4d

DGRachel I liked that we got a proper intro to Ned as opposed to that weird one-liner. Bess and George are always delightful, but I‘ll confess that I don‘t remember a lot of specifics of their behavior in this book. 4d

bookandbedandtea I've always related most to Bess as I, too, am not thrilled about getting dirty, would be hesitant to jump into danger, and am usually wondering when lunch is! 😃 I remember really liking Ned because he doesn't outshine Nancy. He's always impressed by her deductions and doesn't try to coddle her or take over. He was my first #litcrush and I still have a soft spot for him. 4d

dabbe @Bookwormjillk So many dates, so little time. 😂 4d

dabbe Maybe we should now keep track of how many times they eat, and/or how many hot fudge sundaes Bess wants? I forgot how hungry these books make me! 🤩 4d

Ruthiella I love Nancy‘s support Scooby Gang! Also, I‘m realizing the fact that Ned has a car is super useful! 4d

CogsOfEncouragement Ahhhh, Ned. Fun to have him around, and he's so darn willing to help. Keep that up buddy. @bookandbedandtea

I felt a little bad for Bess, her dates have to be postponed while Nancy is having adventures with her love interest. Nothing is fair in this life. @Bookwormjillk @dabbe 4d

AmandaBlaze I really like Ned. He is a good mystery helper, and seems as intelligent as Nancy. As Carson Drew mentioned, she seems to like him a lot more than the other guys she dated.
I like that even though Bess scares easily, she faces up to her fears. I always enjoy George's sarcasm. 4d

kspenmoll It was nice to finally meet Ned & have him be such a help to Nancy & her friends- not condescending towards her enthusiasm for solving crime. 3d

mrp27 I enjoy Bess and George I just don‘t really care for the food shaming. Thankfully there wasn‘t much of that in this book. Looking forward to more Ned and I too like that he works with Nancy and not try to out do or outsmart her. 3d

lauraisntwilder @mrp27 I agree about the food shaming. 3d

lauraisntwilder I love Bess. She's the voice of reason, but no one listens to her. By all means, put on your dungarees and go dig a hole on private property in the middle of the night, Nancy. Bess and I will be safely at home asleep! 3d

Roary47 I really like this mystery team. I‘m so glad they are together and helping each other again. 3d

kwmg40 I liked having Ned properly introduced to us, rather than just dropped in. However, if I were reading ND for the first time, I wonder if I would have been suspicious of Ned initially. 2d

pick

Nancy and her friends - and we finally have Ned in the picture! - are involved in a mystery surrounding a house explosion and a diary written in Swedish. Nancy also helps the postal service with a mail delivery issue. Fun read!

Don‘t forget #LittenDetectives that our #NancyDrewBR discussion of this book is on the 15th!

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! I only have a few chapters left. 6d

Librarybelle @TheAromaofBooks Yay!! 6d

PurpleyPumpkin This was a fun read! Looking forward to Wednesday‘s discussion. 😉 6d

Librarybelle @PurpleyPumpkin Yay!! 6d

AnneCecilie I wasn‘t quite sure if the diary actually was in Swedish since I‘m reading a Norwegian translation, and maybe the translator would have thought that Swedish was difficult enough. Even if we are neighboring countries 6d

Librarybelle @AnneCecilie Interesting! The text says the diary was written mostly in Swedish, with the last entries in English. There are no examples of the pages within the narrative, at least in my edition, so I‘m only trusting Nancy on this. 😂 6d

kwmg40 I enjoyed this installment. Looking forward to the discussion. 5d

Librarybelle Yay, @kwmg40 !! 5d

TheAromaofBooks But will she do it without getting bopped on the head??? 😂 3w

DGRachel @TheAromaofBooks Maybe the diary is on a shelf and the baddie pushes the shelf onto her and it knocks her out? 😂 I can‘t wait to find out! I picked up my library hold yesterday and will tuck in as soon as I finish my current read. 3w

TheAromaofBooks @DGRachel - I feel like instead of “50 Ways to Leave Your Lover“ maybe we need a theme song along the lines of “50 Ways to Get a Concussion You Ignore“ ??? 😂 😂 😂 3w

DGRachel @TheAromaofBooks Or “Concussion Time” set to “Hammer Time” “da da da da…da da…da da concussion time…break her head now” 🤣🤣 3w

Librarybelle @DGRachel @TheAromaofBooks What will the #NancyNogginKnockout count be this month? We didn‘t have any last month, so we are due for some #NNK action! 3w

DGRachel And now I shall spend the rest of my day altering songs to fit Nancy Drew. 3w

Librarybelle @DGRachel A worthy pastime! 😂 3w

TheAromaofBooks @DGRachel - oh my gosh, Concussion Time is PERFECT 😂 3w

BarkingMadRead I‘m ready!!! 3w

lauraisntwilder The cover on my copy is WILD. I can't wait to see how this image could possibly make sense. 😂 3w

Librarybelle @BarkingMadRead Yay!! 3w

Librarybelle @lauraisntwilder 😂 3w

bookandbedandtea @TheAromaofBooks @DGRachel Concussion Time gave me a good laugh this morning! 3w

bookandbedandtea @lauraisntwilder I'm eager to see which copy you have! 3w

Ruthiella Looking forward to this! 👍 3w

Librarybelle Yay, @Ruthiella ! 3w

lauraisntwilder @bookandbedandtea It's just the yellow Grosset & Dunlap hardcover, but Nancy has her arms in the air in front of a burning house and there's a boy/man hiding in the bushes in front of her. And, I can't explain it, but it looks like it was drawn by multiple people, like, the pieces don't match? 3w

lauraisntwilder @bookandbedandtea I just saw your post -- it's the same as yours, but mine is glossy. 3w

Deblovestoread Hope to get this one read earlier in the month this time. 😁 3w

bookandbedandtea @lauraisntwilder Ah yes, the proportions are definitely off in this picture! There's no depth. Looks like something I'd draw. 🙃 3w

Librarybelle @Deblovestoread 😁 3w

Bookwormjillk @lauraisntwilder mine too 🔥🔥🔥 3w
