Update 12/19: There are now prizes! This is a very personal reading challenge for myself. I have tried EVERY year for the past 15 years (I honestly kid you not) to try to read every one of the original 56 Yellow Spine Nancy Drew books. But every year other obligations or loss of interest cause me to stop after a few books. However I have determined that 2010 is the year I will finally accomplish a goal that has plagued me over half my life. While there are other types of Nancy Drew books out there (Files, Notebooks, Clue Crew, On Campus, River Heights, Girl Detective, Supermysteries with Hardy Boys), I am going to focus on the original Nancy Drew Mystery stories. I have tried reading the original versions from the 1930s, but I just could not get into the language. Therefore this challenge will be spotlighting the revised Yellow Spined hardback books that were reprinted and are universally recognized when you think Nancy Drew. The books for this challenge will be 1-56 (The Secret

ReplyDeleteI just noticed your blog info in your PBS siggy. I'm in the A Wish & A Prayer CF WL Swap with you! :)
Leaving Carolina is on my WL. I tried to read The Elevator, but couldn't finish it. :( You've reviewed lots of books I've read, have on my WL, or are in my TBR piles.
I'm taking your button so I can be sure to come back often.

ReplyDeleteYou blow my mind with how fast you read! I'm doing the read-a-thon today, too, and I've gotten off to a very slow start.
Hope you gets lots of reading done today!!

ReplyDeleteTraditional read-a-thon blessing:
ReplyDeleteMay the bookshelf be there to greet you.
May all the books appeal.
May the fridge be full of tasty snacks;
the words fall soft upon your eyes and until the read-a-thon ends,
may you always hold a book in the palm of your hand.
Good luck today!
Way to go on getting so many pages read. I've been off to a rough start with many, many interruptions even though I informed everyone of what I was doing this week. Oh well, here's to a few minutes of peace! Happy reading.
ReplyDeleteYou're amazing!
