wordslinger42 @Nutmegnc My mom's original Nancy Drew set was stolen years ago, so we've been slowly getting the whole series again and reading it together! It's been fun 😊 2y

A missing prince and pickpockets have Nancy working double time in this mystery.

Number 19 down for #nancydrewchallenge. I lost some steam reading these to the kiddo last month, but I‘m hoping to get back into it more.

This story relies on lots of coincidences, in both storylines. A thinly veiled Romanov plot doesn‘t quite work for me (think Anastasia but she‘s a boy), but I liked the characters. 3.5/5 ⭐️

“Do not #strike me! I will tell you where my money is hidden!”
“Mrs Alexandra, you‘re safe now.” Nancy said soothingly.
”Don‘t you know me? I am Nancy Drew.”

Before joining litsy I had no thoughts of owning multiple copies of books; now I find myself haunting thriftbooks and Ebay. My wallet does not thank me and neither will my husband when he figures it out. 🙃

Leftcoastzen Yay Virago! 7y
Jess_Read_This @Leftcoastzen Would believe all the Viragos were thrown in a Bargain Bin for $2 a book?! 7y
rabbitprincess Yay! Good luck with the packing. I am having a similar problem with my book haul 😁 7y

Jess_Read_This @rabbitprincess 📚Wishing you the same good luck in your packing situation!! No book left behind! ❤️❤️ 7y
batsy Amazing haul! Can't imagine the Viragos in a bargain bin... But that worked out for you 😀👍 7y
Jess_Read_This @batsy I couldn't imagine it either til yesterday!! The store clerk explained if a book doesn't fit in their shelf genres they just put it in the bargain bin. 😳 And I guess the sorters didn't know what genre to put them 😂 I also got my first British Library book too! (Bargain Bin too... lol) 7y
Leftcoastzen @Jess_Read_This OMG! Bargain bin!Media mail is pretty cheap if you can find a sturdy box. 7y
batsy @Jess_Read_This Oooh, I see it! It's Mystery in White! That's on the TBR. Great finds 👏 7y
quirkyreader Hurrah for you. Especially with all the #Viragos. 7y
LeahBergen Yay for the bargain bin! 7y
Crystalblu Curious to see what you think about the Widow Clicout (sp) 7y
Izai.Amorim There's always the post office (for the clothes 😂) 7y
Jess_Read_This @quirkyreader @LeahBergen Thank you!! It's probably for the best I live several states away from the bookshop... I'd be broke from the bargain bin alone. Lol! 7y
Jess_Read_This @Crystalblu I will definitely let you know. The synopsis sounded incredibly interesting and a pretty cover helps too. 7y
Jess_Read_This @Izai.Amorim 😂That crossed my mind actually! Except with the hurricane coming, I wasn't super optimistic I'd see any package in a short amount of time. I took my chances and made it home... with a bit of a sore back from the extra bag. 🤣 7y
diovival Woah! Nice haul. 7y
Jess_Read_This @diovival Thank you!! I just barely got it all home... 😂 7y

Umm....I wasn't going to buy any books today. Oops.

Seriously though, a bunch of Nancy Drews from the 40s through the 80s on the library sale table for $0.25 each, who could resist?!

#bookhaul #nowillpower

britt_brooke That cover! 7y
TheKidUpstairs @britt_brooke I KNOW! Isn't it gorgeous?! 7y
TheKidUpstairs @JenlovesJT47 totally inspired by your Sweet Valley series read. I'm going to start reading a Nancy Drew between other books :) 7y
JenlovesJT47 @TheKidUpstairs that's awesome! I'm having a Sweet Valley marathon myself at the moment 😄 7y
