![]() ![]() In first few pages of every book, Bess is described as “pretty and plump.” And unlike her cousin George or her “titan-haired” best friend, Bess is somewhat hesitant to get too involved in the mysteries. Where did she find time to graduate high-school and learn all these things? And why has the CIA not scooped her up for training already?īess is one of Nancy’s best friends and a core character throughout the series. ![]() There’s no other way to explain how Nancy is so incredibly proficient at so many extreme (and random) skills! Not only can she ski, dance, act, climb, skate, golf, swim, dive, use carrier pigeons, sail, scuba dive, fly planes, trick horseback ride, speak French, draw, and play the piano - she can do it all with EXCELLENCE! Seriously. Nancy Drew is secretly a 100-year-old woman disguised in the body of a ridiculously fit eighteen-year-old. Reading a book a week doesn’t seem that difficult until you realize that you’re essentially reading THE SAME BOOK every week for a year.Ģ. ![]() By the time I made it halfway through the series, I was relying heavily on nostalgia to help pull me through. They’re fun, bring back such wonderful memories, and I can’t wait to share them with my daughter!īut reading them all in a year? It’s a lot. I happily re-read my way through the series numerous times because there were so many incredible stories! Even now, as an adult, I love picking up one or two of them throughout the year. ![]() Nancy Drew books are great!!!

But to save you from making a goal like this for yourself, I’ll let you cheat a little and see what I learned while re-reading the entirety of this series:ġ. Now, don’t get me wrong, I LOVE Nancy Drew. After all, one kids book a week is no problem for an avid book-lover like myself. Revised from the original series in the 1950’s, these books are quick and easy reads, featuring kid appropriate mysteries and “adventure.” With 56 books in the series, I was confident that I could breeze through this collection in record time. You’re probably familiar with these yellow, hardcover books. But seriously, this was a ridiculous goal to set! Who doesn’t enjoy reading childhood classics? I’ve loved re-reading through the Anne of Green Gables series, Little Women, and the Chronicles of Narnia. Occasionally I’ll bust out a Laura Ingalls Wilder classic or a copy of “The Secret Garden.” But now, it was time to mount a re-read of an entirely different scale: I decided to read through the entirety of my childhood Nancy Drew collection in one year. ![]()
