Yep, I did it. I joined another challenge. I just love Nancy Drew books so when I saw that Deborah was hosting this one, I couldn't pass it up. The goal is to read all the yellow spined Nancy Drew books by 12/31/10. You can sign up for this challenge on Deborah's site!

Oh, man I loved the Nancy Drew books as a child. I'm already in 20 challenges for 2010, so I can't do another, but I'd love to get around to reading at least one of the Nancy books this year :)
ReplyDeleteI used to read one of these in an hour!!! have fun!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea for a challenge, if you did not have to read all of them. I think I'd be Nancy Drew'd out...LOL
ReplyDeleteWow...20 challenges!! That's amazing! You obviously read much more than I do!
ReplyDeleteI did the same thing as a child Staci! Doubt I can do that now with 2 small children!
ReplyDeleteI'll mix them in with other reads and it will be ok. I'll probably read them fairly quickly. Most I will get from the library (which I rarely visit these days). I need to visit there more often to save money for new releases that I am really wanting! :)
ReplyDeleteI loved these books! I am bummed I got rid of them and have been tempted to try and recollect them. I read all of them and thought they were great. I did not enjoy the non-yellow spined/newer Nancy Drew books as much which is too bad. I hope you have fun during this challenge.
