I think she was just having fun with it, and as I said, I haven't actually read the paper. I don't know what grade she got either.

@Legos: Exactly! I mean, we have to unite and make sure our libraries NEVER EVER go out of buisness, right? :P

@Cami: Huh. Alrighty then, thanks for the info. :)
And hey, does your sister-in-law play Menewsha?

No, she's not really into the internet culture. XD

@Cami: Dang. :XD
Are you sure you can't drag her here, even temporarily, just for a little chat about Nancy Drew? :XP

Probably not. XD Sorry.

She actually just had a baby, so I think her "learning new things" threshold is filled with baby care info.

Oh, okay... then drag her over here so I can say "Congrats on your baby-birthing" and then chat with her about Nancy Drew? :XD

@Zilithandria Moonlight: Ok! No more movies, I'm glad you specified which books to get as I really know nothing about Nancy Drew and am happy for the help.

@Zarq: Well, other people like the movies. I just like the books, I was into the books first, the books were made first, and I'm a Nancy Drew Purist, I guess. :XD
By the way, if you come across a cloth-covered Nancy Drew books, check the publishing date. It might be one of the first ones published. This is kind of important because the original 52-book series was reprinted at least 3 times and they differ slightly from print to reprint to reprint, probably due to the current culture of the time. :P

@Zilithandria Moonlight: Wow, I can be semi-smarticle at times, in the way I type things down. 0_0'
Now, now, me, let's not be getting a big head, over this, myself. I don't need to add egotism to my negative repertoir. Or however that's spelled. See how stupid I am, me? :XD

You're talking about being a Nancy Drew Purist; I think that's one of the subjects people are allowed to be like that on. :XP

Same here. I actually got it in the airport right before I went on vacation. Borders was right next to our terminal, so I wandered in there and it was displayed on the back shelf in the center so it was the first thing you saw right when you walked in. By that point, I had the play's CD memorized and desperately wanted to see the stage production and read the book, so I got it. I read it that spring break, and it brought down my mood some once I was done.
I was fourteen at the time, so I'm not suprised that I didn't necessarily understand much besides a few historical alusions and the overall plot. It drove me nuts, though, I knew I was missing out on so much! I want to maybe reread it every few years or so, see what I've learned and what new things can be gleaned from it every time. It's the sort of book you can read ten times and still find something new.

I read some Nancy Drew when I was younger, but I don't remember much about them.

Right now I'm reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

@Legos and Cami: Oops, sorry, I've been playing Second Life and Epic War. :sweat:

@Legos: Yep, that, Transformers, and Star Trek, or you get something really stupid and say it's good just because it has a certain title. *Thinking of the newer Transformers series (whoops that's a TV series, ahahaha) and the Star Trek series Enterprise* :XD

@Cami: Aww, that's a shame. :(
Go read some Nancy Drew!! :XD
What's that book about? And if it's a Nancy Drew book, I've only read about 46 out of 52. Maybe 48. :XP

Hm, it's been a very long time since I've read Nancy drew as well, which is kind of odd seeing as I like mysteries.
Maybe I should pick some up, too.

I used to love the Melanie Travis and Jessie Arnolds mysteries, but I've not read them in so long... I've got them on my bookshelf, though, I might have to reread them sometime.
I never got very into mysteries beyond those two. They just don't appeal to me.

I do, however, loooove The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. That's my favorite book of the mystery genre, not that it has much competition.

The Valdemar series is one of my favorites. I like Take a Thief in particular.

I've never read any Mercedes Lackey, but I really want to. I've heard good things.
Which one did you read, Knerd?

*pops in*

I finished the novel Push by Sapphire on Xmas day ... so good. Can't wait to see the movie.
And right now I am sprinting through Any Known Blood by Lawrence Hill ( the author of The Book of Negroes ) ... it looks like it will be an amazing book.

Knerd- The one I have checked out is called Arrows of the Queen, I hope it ends up being better than Joust.

Does anyone here read Alex Rider Series, I dont think I have ever met anyone who knew what I was talking about when I mentioned those books, there are 8books out soo far. and 1 movie of the first book Storm Rider,

I got the 8th book for christmas "Crocodile tears" Still not had a chance to read it but I wil soon
