Status Updates From The Secret of the Old Clock

Spent some time looking up how much the inheritance would be in today's money. It would be NICE.

I was obsessed with Nancy drew when I was little so no I’m reading this for my little sister. She is enjoying the story so far

Yes, I just read ‘this’ book last week but found out there is the original 1930 edition and the revised 1959 edition. I had no idea it had been rewritten! Page 1 is already very different. I look forward to getting to know Nancy in her original form.

God I love a classic sleuthing story

LOVE, classic Nancy Drew

There's a certain gormless charm to this rather textbook styled mystery that's more relaxing than anything else I've read in quite a while. Pleadingly innocent, but still with enough adventur and with stock supporting characters that one loves to love and hate. I believe the crotchety caretaker actually says "By Jimeny!" at one point. Quite fun.

Started reading this to have a palate cleanser after a heavy Lit book and I'm enjoying it more than I thought I would. This is essentially what the pre-Beatles MAYFIELD of Leave It To Beaver would be like if Veronica Mars had happened 40 years earlier.

THAT BEING SAID - I'm qiuite enjoying the over-kind Nancy Drew and her projected Daddy-Issue dad "Lawyer, Carson Drew" a lot more than I thought I might.

It’s going to be a Nancy Drew Summer for me

Didn't realize Nancy Drew was almost 100 years old (this was first published in 1930) until they mentioned a man's wife dying in the influenza epidemic.

I wish I could upload pics, I found a copy at my fav bookstore from the 1959 re-release. Back on the nostalgia train, I loved reading nancy drew when I was young.

Rereading a childhood favorite

There’s like 50 Nancy drew books at my house and I’m about to fuck em up

“dyke.”- emily

one of Emily’s annotations is “GAY!!!!”

Leave it to Nancy to get attacked by a dog while looking for clues 🤣

Nancy’s dad is getting involved. Lawyers mean…TROUBLE lol

Nancy is definitely an eager 18 year old!

Nancy's perfection is annoying me a little bit.

Reading this for The Very Awesome Mikayla. 🤍

Needed a book from my childhood and Nancy drew was definitely apart of it

DNF I was feeling sentimental because the Nancy Drew Notebooks were my gateway to loving reading. I found friends in Nancy B & G when I was in 3rd grade. Picking this up now, I found how this story was largely about a white, middle class girl. While I found solace in not being hyper aware of that when I read it before, now it kinda surfaced some other not so pleasant memories about me feeling poor irl thenlol

Within the first 2 pgs, a 5 year old almost gets hit by a moving van & then almost drowns? That has nothing to do with the plot, though..
Little judy rebounds quick thanks to a 16/18 yr old Nancy (do we even know), that can afford a blue convertible during the great depression? I don't care if her dad is a lawyer. . just HOW?
You can't go wrong with some nostalgic N.D. regardless of her secret inner nepo.

Nancy Drew talks to herself a lot lol

New year, same reread :))

There’s a charm to this. A feeling I only get when I watch shows like the Brady Bunch or Bewitched or the Thin Man mysteries. A happy, wholesome, hopeful charm. It feels golden, like kids playing on white porches, eating popsicles in summer, cozy family dinners, sleek chiffon dresses, old cars and chunky corded telephones.

“If only my chicken money came in faster”

Reading this one out loud with AC!

Good

The sound effects are so nd series from the 70s

Nancy: *thinks*
Me: 😳😳
