Nancy Drew Books?

January 18, 2014 Edit:

Thanks for all the feedback guys! It looks like I'll just stick around here to recap the Nancy Drew books. I have no clue yet when I'll put my first one up. I picked up one of the more modern books from a book sale, started reading it, and loved it. The only weird thing is that Nancy goes missing, so George, Ned, and Bess have to work together to find her. I didn't realize that so many of you loved her as much as I do LOL. 

I know that this blog gets a lot of page views even if people don't necessarily comment a lot. For those who do read or comment, I have a question. Would anyone be interested in seeing recaps from Nancy Drew books? I have quite a few of the older books that came out in the late 80s/early 90s when Nancy was in college, but I also have some of the newer books and some of the originals.

My first thought was to create a separate blog, but now I'm not sure. I already cover so many books on here, from Goosebumps and Sweet Valley Twins to The BSC and Christopher Pike books, that it seems like adding one more series might be overkill.

If I created a Nancy Drew blog, it wouldn't get updated nearly as much as this blog. I don't have as many Nancy Drew books as I do the books recapped here, and as much as I love those books, I could see myself getting bored if forced to read a string of them in one sitting. If I did create a new blog, it would cover all of the Nancy Drew books from the original yellow hardbacks to the newer books where she's in middle school.

So, what does everyone think? Should Nancy get her own book, or should she stick around here?

    I would love those, especially those ones from the 80s (not when she was in college, just high school Nancy). They are fantastic!

    I would love to read those recaps and you should just save time and use this blog! I feel like not many people do Nancy recaps compared to the numerous BSC, SV, etc ones so I'd be interested.

    Oh, I would love to see these. The Nancy Drew mysteries were my introduction to reading chapter books back in the mid sixties. My mom had given me her collection to read (the originals from the thirties), and I was instantly hooked. To this day, I still favor mysteries over any other type of novel, which I attribute to Nancy Drew.

    Please recap Nancy Drew here! I loved the ones written in the 80s and actually can't part with my meagre collection. I still instinctively look for Nancy Drew books whenever I go to a secondhand bookshop. Growing up in Australia, they were hard to get and nobody else read them! Laura

    Will do! I have a few of the college era ones, some of the ones that came out in the later 90s, and some of the classic blue and yellow ones. I'd love to get my hands on some of the originals but don't want to pay the money :)

The Immortal (Christopher Pike)

This was one of my favorite Christopher Pike books when I was younger. The whole ground glass in the hamburger thing really freaked me out and I was always eyeing the person who made my hamburgers suspiciously. Then I read some article in college about how ground glass actually can’t kill you because your body just digests it and pushes it out. It kind of made me a little pissed off at Pike… Josie and Helen are best friends, but in that high school way, where they actually don’t really like each other. Helen’s family is kind of poor, but that didn’t stop them from sending her to Greece the summer before. Now they’re going back, thanks to Josie’s dad. He’s a screenwriter and traveling with his stuckup, prissy girlfriend Silk. The book flashes back to two women and I bet you know where this is going. Sryope and Phthia were two women living during ancient times. Phthia was obsessed with a guy who Sryope secretly loved. She made him indebted to her and then got bored and ran off with other...

Monster (Christopher Pike)

I’ve read this book a few times lately and every time, go into it thinking that I don’t really like it, but then I remember that I do. Maybe because there aren’t any sci-fi elements or aliens in it! Well there are alien like things, but not like in his later books. Angela is a fairly new kid at school, who somehow gets invited to a party with all the popular kids. Her best friend Mary walks into the party, brandishing a shotgun. Without saying a word, she blows away football player Todd and cheerleader Kathy. Five seconds later, she points the gun at her own boyfriend Jim. Angela stops her by screaming and Mary retaliates by kicking her in the face. Jim, who’s basically a big pussy, runs off into the woods, with Mary hot on his tale. Angela follows and runs into Lieutenant Nguyen, who listens to what she says and then goes after Mary. Angela wanders into the woods and runs into Jim. Mary pops up and tells them that Jim “isn’t human” and nearly kills him, before Nguyen stops her. Nguyen...

Eye Candy (R.L. Stine)

This post is getting TONS of attention due to the MTV television show. For those who recently found my blog, please keep in mind that this review is nearly two years old. I'll comment when you comment, but I've read so many books since then that this one isn't very fresh in my mind. Part One: Eye Candy opens with our unknown killer out on a date with a girl named Alesha who he met through a dating website. Every time she asks him a question, he responds and thinks to himself how he's lying to her. After coffee, they decide to grab dinner, but he can't help looking at her man hands, which he calls Hulk hands, and how she laughs just like his mom. They head back to her apartment, and she immediately throws herself at him. They kiss a little and he then proceeds to choke her to death in her apartment. As if that wasn't enough, he takes a knife from her kitchen and cuts off each of her fingers, thinking they feel like asparagus. The killer then reveals...
