Nancy Drew Challenge Wrap Up

Well 2010 has come to an end and so has the Nancy Drew challenge. Thanks for coming along with me for my very first challenge hosting gig. I wasn't the best of hostesses but I enjoyed chatting with all of you! I am really glad that I was able to complete this lifelong goal of reading all the yellow-back Nancy Drew books this year and I'm glad to have a bunch of you along for the ride.

Now as promised, there are prizes to be won! I will be checking to see if your name was on the original sign up list when the challenge started (aka don't enter for these if you didn't participate in the challenge!)


For those that completed at least 30 books, there are 4 copies of Nancy Drew: Secret of the Old Clock (based on the first 3 books, Secret of the Old Clock, the Hidden Staircase, and Mystery at Lilac Inn)

    I didn't find your blog until recently, but thanks for a good idea! I have my collection, but honestly don't remember if I read them all or not. I'm going to work them in to my reading this year and see how far I get. Brilliant idea!

    Hi,
    I finished all 56, so would I enter for both the set of 5 and the Secret of the Old Clock?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for a fun challenge! I really enjoyed reading all of Nancy and I'm going to miss her a bit. I'll have to get one every now and then to read.

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

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
