Back in the day, this is what we read - exhausted the entire series at the Louisville Free Public Library and then read them all again! I collect original editions, too.

I might have liked this more as a kid. I prefer Trixie Belden. :)

Loved her books when I was at the appropriate age, but felt it was not too interesting at this time in my life.

In my quest to revisit books I should've read as a kid, I decided Nancy Drew was up next.

Not the best decision on my part. Maybe I would've enjoyed this a few years ago, but the story was awful. I suppose eight-year old me would've been impressed at Nancy's deductive reasoning skills, but adult me was bored.
