The Stolen Show (Nancy Drew Diaries #18) by Carolyn Keene. Can Nancy find the jewel thieves using competitive dog shows as their cover? #nancydrew #carolynkeene #seriesbooks #nancydrewdiaries #nancydrew91stanniversary #teensleuth #teendetective #audiobook

I’m almost caught up with the Nancy Drew Diaries series. There are currently 21 volumes in the series, and I’m up to number 18, The Stolen Show (Amazon) (AbeBooks). The modern Nancy Drew takes some getting used to, and more often than not, she’s investigating a case of sabotage. That trope got old many books ago, so I really wasn’t looking forward to this volume. From the publisher: “Nancy is…

WWWWednesday April 28: Happy Birthday, Nancy Drew! I'm celebrating Nancy Drew's birthday by reading and listening to some of her books. How about you? #nancydrew #happybirthdaynancydrew #carolynkeene #teensleuth #teendetective #girlsleuth #girldetective

It’s Wednesday, April 28th, which is known in my world as Nancy Drew’s birthday! The first Nancy Drew books were released in 1930, which means Nancy has survived and thrived for 91 years! Funny, she doesn’t look a day over 18. 🙂 It’s also WWW Wednesday, where I answer the questions, What am I reading, What have I read, What do I plan on reading? Let’s get started! What am I reading? I would be…

Hidden Pictures (Nancy Drew Diaries #19) by Carolyn Keene. #nancydrew #carolynkeene #nancydrewdiaries #hiddenpictures #teensleuth #teendetective #girlsleuth #girldetective #seriesbooks #mystery #booksta #bookstagram #bargainsleuth #audiobook

The end is in sight! I’m almost caught up with the current Nancy Drew Diaries series. Hidden Pictures (Amazon) is the 19th book in the series and was published in January of 2020. Just like the original Nancy Drew Mysteries, some are good, and some are not. There’s no consistency, which makes me think that there isn’t one ghostwriter but several that rotate in writing the books. Some of the…

I’m at the half-way point of the original Grosset & Dunlap Nancy Drew Mysteries, which are the first 56 books in the series. The Clue of the Black Keys was published in 1951 and revised in 1968. I read the Original Text for this review. From the publisher: “During an archaeological expedition in Mexico, two professors, the senior Dr. Joshua Pitt and young Terry Scott find a clue to buried…

An abandoned castle, some crooked servants, and the theft of an inheritance are at the center of #TheMoonstoneCastleMystery (#NancyDrewMysteries #40) by #CarolynKeene #BookReview #nancydrew #seriesbooks #teensleuth #teendetective #girlsleuth #harrietadams

I’m such a rebel. Instead of going in order in reading my Nancy Drew collection, I decided to start skipping around. So this week I’m reviewing #40 in the series, The Moonstone Castle Mystery (AbeBooks) (Amazon). “When Nancy Drew receives a valuable moonstone as a gift from an unknown person, she is amazed and puzzled. But it is only the first of several startling events in this complex mystery…

I’m up to volume 35 in my reading of the Nancy Drew Mysteries. The first 34 books had an Original Text (OT) which were 25 chapters and a Revised Text (RT) some years later which were 20 chapters. From The Haunted Showboat (Amazon) (AbeBooks) on, there is only one version of the books. This volume was published in 1957 and remains unchanged from its original publication. “Nancy, Bess and George…

Nancy is off to Pennsylvania Dutch country in this mystery, which was first published in 1955. My review of #TheWitchTreeSymbol (#NancyDrewMysteries #33) by #CarolynKeene #Girlsleuth #girldetective #teensleuth #teendetective #bookreview #1950sbooks

This week, in my quest to read all my Nancy Drew Mysteries, I’m up to volume #34, The Witch Tree Symbol (OT) (AbeBooks) RT (Amazon) (AbeBooks), which is one of the first novels where very little action takes place in River Heights. That’s right, Nancy and the gang are taking a road trip to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, to visit an Amish community. “When a neighbor asks Nancy to accompany her to an…

It’s time once again to take a look to the past and my love of the Nancy Drew Mysteries. I grew up with the Revised Text (RT), so as I read the books again, I’m concentrating on the Original Text (OT), which I’d never read before. The Scarlet Slipper Mystery OT (AbeBooks) RT (Amazon) (AbeBooks) was first published in 1954. “Nancy meets Helene and Henri Fontaine, refugees from Centrovia who own a…

The Ringmaster's Secret (Nancy Drew Mysteries #31) by Carolyn Keene

It's time to get back to reviewing #NancyDrew books. I took about six months off, and now I'm back with a review of the Original Text #TheRingmastersSecret #NancyDrewMysteries #31) by #CarolynKeene #Mysteries #seriesbooks #stratemeyersyndicate #bookreview

It’s time to jump back on the horse, so-to-speak, and continue my reading of my beloved Nancy Drew books. At the beginning of my journey when the pandemic first hit, I was reading the Original Texts (OT) and then the Revised Text (RT), plus sprinkling in the new Nancy Drew Diaries series. I got majorly burned out doing that, so I set Nancy aside for six months and am happy to say I’m back…
