Fuck you and get this piece of shit up to 88 mph. We’ve got to warn the past!
I could do pages on Nancy and me. I am, in fact, wearing my Nancy Drew yoga pants right now. But I’m in the middle of something, and just wandered over while I wait for a 5 minute timer to ding.
Also, I have read just the OP. Gonna try to go through the whole thread before I make a serious contribution.
No, I am not making that up about the yoga pants-- yes, I own them, and yes, I was already wearing them when I opened the thread. I also have a Nancy Drew wallet, a Nancy Drew pillowcase, and a Nancy Drew wall clock. The clock features all the different covers from various editions of The Secret of the Old Clock.
I read them when I was a kid. Not that I liked them; I preferred other books. But they were entertaining enough back then.
I admit, I have not tried them again as an adult. Maybe I should.
There was also the Alvin Fernald series, by Clifford Hicks, and Miss Pickerell.
The only two Hardy Boys books I remember well are The Twisted Claw (original) and The Secret of Skull Mountain (revised).
