Nancy Drew Challenge June Recap

The Nancy Drew Challenge is a reading challenge for 2010 for readers to attempt to read all 56 original yellow hardbacks that were in the Nancy Drew Mystery Stories. Click here for more information or to sign up for the challenge. At the end of each month, I will put up a post where participants of the challenge can recap how they did during that month.

AHH!! Sorry this is late. I've been moving over the past week and have been extremely busy, exhausted and stressed. BTW, moving sucks!

Well we are halfway done with the Nancy Drew Challenge! Half the year has gone by and are you still loving Nancy or are you sick of her?

I managed to read 6 Nancy Drews in June, books 38-43. Sadly, I cannot remember anything too exciting about them. Well, I take it back. The Phantom of Pine Hill (famous to me because it was mentioned several times in the Baby Sitters Club series) had a bit old fashioned condescending terms towards Native Americans. But then again, these books are from the 1950s so sadly, you have to expect that. The books weren't boring, I just can't remember anything outstanding other than the fact that it is just expected that George is going to get hurt before Nancy does.

We have had someone already finished the challenge, so I will be putting up a post soon so you can list your names there. Don't forget if you finish at least 30 books, you are eligible for prizes!

Two questions to ask this month: How did Nancy fare for you in June, and since we are at the halfway point, how many books have you read total?

    I have read to book 40, which I am half way through. I am really enjoying it. It is something I have wanted to do for a long time.

    I finished all 56!!! They seem to get less and less exciting/memorable after book #34-ish

I was more than pleasantly surprised and shocked while reading this book. I have the first three books of the Twilight series and I will admit that I am not really a fan of them. The writing in those books is not very well done, plus I have problems with the storyline and the characters in general. Plus with all the hype surrounding them, it just makes the reading seem more tedious. Therefore I approached The Host with rather low expectations and prepared myself for another Twilight except with aliens. Boy was I in for a shocker. When I started reading, I was amazed at how I got sucked into the book. I really didn't expect to, be...

It's here! Today is my 3 year blogiversary! (Never mind tha t the first entry is marked on 9/20, I had written that post the day after and then backdated it) . I can't believe that I'm still here and blogging away! As al ways, the reason why I started blogging was thanks to Camy Tang's blog which inspired m e to write my own blog. My main goal was to blog about the books I read because I figured I'd like others to know about the good books that were ou t there . I honestly can't believe that it's lasted this long and I hope to keep going strong. I've met so many new friends in the past year alone and I've even gotten to meet several in person and I'm going to meet more next week at the National Book Festival! I'd also like to say thank you to those who nominated me for Best Cultural Review Blog for the 2009 BBAW Awards. It's truly been an honor that you considered me for that award and even more awesome that I made the shortlist...
