I‘m glad I decided to pick up another Nancy Drew this month. This was a relaxing addition to the weekend, and neither of these were ones I remembered particularly well so it was especially fun to watch them play out. #Pantone2023 #AndreanToucan #20in4 @Clwojick @Andrew65

curiouserandcurioser @IndoorDame i just finished both of these❤ 1y

ElizaMarie Awe, I love that you are going back to Nancy Drew Books! I feel like that might be fun to re-explore! 1y

IndoorDame @curiouserandcurioser fun! ❤️ 1y

I always pick these up when I stumble across original versions (originals have 25 chapters, "updated" editions are edited down to 20). Frankly I've always preferred the adventures of Nancy and her friends Bess (the chubby one) and George (the "tomboy" - read: lesbian). Those Hardy Boys were just too damn smug.

BookmarkTavern Have you read the modernized graphic novels? They make George canonically a lesbian with a girlfriend. ❤️

It started off badly because Hannah made fried chicken for supper but Nancy & her dad got distracted talking about a new mystery & let the food get cold! I mean! Talk it over the fried chicken! 🍗 Anyway things get better from there as within hours Nancy & Bess are in danger & then Nancy is on a plane, then a ship, & then Bess & George are there & the shit hits the fan but it all ends well! Look at that scary woman on the cover! I love Nancy Drew.

TheAromaofBooks Yeah, sheesh, letting homemade fried chicken go to waste? PRIORITIES PEOPLE! 😂 4y

batsy @TheAromaofBooks For a very smart person Nancy is awfully foolish at times! 😆 4y

erzascarletbookgasm I haven‘t read any ND books since aeons ago! 4y

Nute Dinner conversation takes place with the meal, not instead of the meal. Come on Nancy...keep that smart-bar raised. We're counting on you!😊 4y

ravenlee I found the Nancy Drew cookbook on the Internet Archives site and borrowed it for my daughter. We had fun flipping through it, but most of those recipes...yeesh! I think Hannah‘s fried chicken is in it, though. 4y

Suet624 😂😂😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 4y

batsy @erzascarletbookgasm Highly recommend for brain-off comfort reading 😁 4y

batsy @Nute I knew Littens would get it! 😂 4y

batsy @ravenlee Oh, that would be fun to look at! But maybe less fun to eat, lol 4y

Number 26 for #nancydrewchallenge done! The usual set of coincidences requiring suspension of disbelief, but still fun.

Nancy and her father help a friend solve two mysteries involving his clipper, with some assistance from Bess and George, of course! (And a cameo from the boys) Also, a nationally-wanted jewel thief factors in.

I believe my early impressions of #youngAmericans were formed by these books 😀 Though I think one of them on that boat is neither young nor a person 🤔 #SeptemBowie @Marchpane @Cinfhen

TrishB Lol 😂 all my impressions of young americans are from books and amazing authors! 7y

batsy @TrishB That's true! #bookstaughtmemostlyeverything And not forgetting sitcoms 😁 7y

Cinfhen Ha! Sitcoms ruled...I don't recall too many British sitcoms, though🤔wait, there was Benny Hill although he was more of a variety show @TrishB @batsy 7y

TrishB @Cinfhen oh dear god please don't judge me on Benny Hill 😂 hated that show. All that was not wonderful in the 70s!! 7y

Cinfhen Oh and I forgot Mr. Bean ! I'm totally judging you Brits @TrishB 😜 7y

I collect Nancy Drew books--this one was my favorite as a kid. Carolyn Keene is a pseudonym, but hey, I'll take what I can get.

P. S. How much do I still love George?

(Also, the last character named Carolyn I came across was the MC in The Library at Mount Char, which was *terrifying*.) #riotgram #samename
