Nancy Drew Books

I have started back my long lost fave habit - which was to read Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys books. I have two brothers and we did not have much money. All mom would say was that we are having financial problems so we could not afford to buy books. I can't remember how my brothers have managed to get their hands on one of the Hardy Boys books. However that became my long time passion - I started reading the boys - there were all three of them. I loaned from the library books on Nancy Drew after having read from one of the books that she is a female sleuth.

The passion for reading detective book other than Secret Seven and so many other ... I can't remember but all these books were my passion. Luckily the school library stocked them. Whenever I could I borrowed these books from friends.

I have decided to start back my passion for reading Nancy Drew books. Herewith the list of books from Carolyn Keene. It is true that most of the books were written my ghost writers - which probably went out to explained why sometimes.. I was so confused with the difference in writing style. No matter, I shall re-read those I have forgotten and mark it in this blog on those I am sure I have read :-)
