This post contains spoilers

show me

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! 3w

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. 3w

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. 3w

See All 16 Comments

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. 3w

dabbe @Bookwormjillk So many dates, so little time. 😂 3w

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! 🤩 3w

Ruthiella I love Nancy‘s support Scooby Gang! Also, I‘m realizing the fact that Ned has a car is super useful! 3w

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 3w

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. 3w

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. 2w

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. 2w

lauraisntwilder @mrp27 I agree about the food shaming. 2w

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! 2w

Roary47 I really like this mystery team. I‘m so glad they are together and helping each other again. 2w

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. 2w

DebinHawaii I feel most like Bess in these books—the more cautious one who wants to help but has other things she wants to do. Also I get hangry so I want to eat too! 😉 Although, yes, I don‘t like the food-shaming either. I actually thought I imagined the name drop of Ned a couple books back when he was introduced here. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 6d

Nancy Drew 07: The Clue in the Diary | Carolyn Keene

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!

Sace Can‘t wait! 3w

Librarybelle @Sace 😁 3w

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! I only have a few chapters left. 3w

See All 10 Comments

Librarybelle @TheAromaofBooks Yay!! 3w

PurpleyPumpkin This was a fun read! Looking forward to Wednesday‘s discussion. 😉 3w

Librarybelle @PurpleyPumpkin Yay!! 3w

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 3w

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. 😂 3w

kwmg40 I enjoyed this installment. Looking forward to the discussion. 3w

Librarybelle Yay, @kwmg40 !! 3w

TheAromaofBooks But will she do it without getting bopped on the head??? 😂 1mo

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. 1mo

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“ ??? 😂 😂 😂 1mo

See All 23 Comments

DGRachel @TheAromaofBooks Or “Concussion Time” set to “Hammer Time” “da da da da…da da…da da concussion time…break her head now” 🤣🤣 1mo

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! 1mo

DGRachel And now I shall spend the rest of my day altering songs to fit Nancy Drew. 1mo

Librarybelle @DGRachel A worthy pastime! 😂 1mo

TheAromaofBooks @DGRachel - oh my gosh, Concussion Time is PERFECT 😂 1mo

BarkingMadRead I‘m ready!!! 1mo

lauraisntwilder The cover on my copy is WILD. I can't wait to see how this image could possibly make sense. 😂 1mo

Librarybelle @BarkingMadRead Yay!! 1mo

Librarybelle @lauraisntwilder 😂 1mo

bookandbedandtea @TheAromaofBooks @DGRachel Concussion Time gave me a good laugh this morning! 1mo

bookandbedandtea @lauraisntwilder I'm eager to see which copy you have! 1mo

Ruthiella Looking forward to this! 👍 1mo

Librarybelle Yay, @Ruthiella ! 1mo

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? 1mo

lauraisntwilder @bookandbedandtea I just saw your post -- it's the same as yours, but mine is glossy. 1mo

Deblovestoread Hope to get this one read earlier in the month this time. 😁 1mo

bookandbedandtea @lauraisntwilder Ah yes, the proportions are definitely off in this picture! There's no depth. Looks like something I'd draw. 🙃 1mo

Librarybelle @Deblovestoread 😁 1mo

Bookwormjillk @lauraisntwilder mine too 🔥🔥🔥 1mo

julieclair Fun! 1mo
