Kristen,
Thanks so much for featuring our convention info :) We hope to see lots of Nancy Drew fans at the event. It’s going so much fun. Love your magnifying glass pic too!
Jenn:)
Boy this brings me back, Of course the Hardy boys where my books.
I have grown up with Drew and Hardy Boys, apart from Blyton stories an love everything about em. Nowadays it is rare that you would find a Drew enthusiastic to discuss and share the stories read :)
I loved Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys! I still have more than 4 dozen of them in my bookshelves. My friends and I used to exchange books from our own collections. I’m glad I have a small circle of friends that I can share and discuss with.
Oh wow! I miss Nancy Drew! I miss reading books during my childhood years– Nancy Drew, The Hardy Boys, Sweet Valley, Babysitters’ Club, etc. These books remind me of my younger years. It’s such a shame that kids today don’t do much reading anymore.
