Then a singular form again. I‘m struggling with these ones though. 😬

Well, I‘ve been having trouble finding a state fair, so how about a state unfair… grasping at straws there. 😅🙃

Nancy looks a little stoned on the cover of my ebook, but maybe this is how she looked after she inhaled the sleeping fu es? 🤔🤔🤔 The second time in a row I like the story because it made sense most of the times. The notion of hidden pirate ship with a tolling bell made it interesting. Unfortunately for me, the story took a different turn, I liked it anyway. 😊

“At the steering wheel was Ned Nickerson, a friend of Nancy‘s who was staying nearby to sell insurance to parents of two college friends.”

Seriously?!? Can I roll my eyes that Ned happens to be in the same small town as Nancy and her friends??? It was lovely when he was in South America and not brooding over Nancy‘s mystery-loving personality. 😂

bookandbedandtea I like Ned (which is perhaps leftover impressions from my childhood) but I thought the way he showed up here was really abrupt. I wish his expected presence had been mentioned while the girls drove to the town. 12h

Finished earlier in the week for #NancyDrewBR
This one did not seem familiar to me, so is it a reread or not? Hmmm… 🤔 Anyway, not my favorite book, but still a pick for nostalgia. This one (I read the 1973 version) is set in a little seaside town, drivable from River Heights. Again, where is River Heights because I keep reading Midwest? Maybe it‘s a lake beach town?🤷🏻‍♀️ Anyway Nanners & her girls are there to ⬇️

DieAReader, Librarybelle

DebinHawaii … meet/help Mr. Drew‘s client & they stumble into a couple of mysteries, one involving a ghost & the other perfume/cosmetics/investment fraud. I like a good small sea town setting, but there was too much Ned in this one for me. If the drive for Nancy & friends was a long one, how is Ned in the neighborhood as a insurance salesman none the less? It sends a stalkerish vibe & Nancy “needs” or gets a lot of rescuing from him in this one. 🙄 ⬇️ (edited) 2d

DebinHawaii … ***Small noggin spoiler*** There are no blows to the head in this one, so no #NNK count & we are still 10/23 however there is “drugging” with mysterious fumes which can‘t be good for her head either ( it hopefully explains her disheveled look on the cover).🤕 There‘s also little people bad guys (called “dwarves & elves”)😳that are an interesting but needless addition. 🤷🏻‍♀️

… All in all it will make for interesting #NancyDrewBR discussion. (edited) 2d

Ruthiella River Heights is like Dr. Who‘s TARDIS. It magically has everything you might need- a ferry, a castle, TWO synthetic fiber factories…😂 1d

dabbe I love that line “pick for nostalgia“. That's how I mostly feel rereading these books. 1d

Librarybelle It should be a fun discussion! (edited) 1d

bookandbedandtea @Ruthiella @Bookwormjillk I always loved that about River Heights! It's close to mountains, seaside, farm country, and lake resorts and contains every type of business and dwelling imaginable. Growing up, I loved Narnia but I didn't want to live there. I wanted to live in River Heights! 😂 21h

DebinHawaii @Ruthiella @Bookwormjillk @bookandbedandtea Hah! So true. It truly is a magical place full of arts, culture, commerce & history with no shortage of missing nobles & heiresses! 🤣 16h
