Saturday Afternoon Chat: It was more than just a tree

Discussing The Hardy Boys Nancy Drew Mysteries Show episode, The Mystery of the Haunted House.

The show featured 46 episodes from 1977 to 1979 on ABC. For those who aren’t familiar with the source material for this show, it was based …

Top Ten Tuesday: Ten books I did not finish (DNF’d)
Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. Today’s prompt is: Books I Did Not Finish (DNFed) (feel free to tell us why, but please no spoilers!) My reasons for not finishing a book are rarely because the book is bad or not worth reading. Most of the time it is completely related to the …
