I loved the Bobbseys...I was the third generation in my family to read those too. My favorite Bobbsey books: Goldfish Mystery, In Volcano Land, and At School.
I read Nancy Drew growing up. However, I distinctly remember my mom reading the Bobbsey Twins to me as a girl before bed when I was six or seven. They were her copies from around the 1940s and some of the still had the original jacket covers on them - with the picture of the younger set of twins. I don't think she trusted my young hands with them.
I read through all of the Nancy Drew books at the library. My mom had "The Bungalow Mystery" and that's what started me.
I loved Encyclopedia Brown even more though. He always came up with the most interesting things to solve the cases. To this day, there is still one about a spelling bee/contest that I can recite the clues and how he solved it.
At the risk of exposing my hidden nerdiness, two summers ago when I was taking a really hard and boring summer class, I re-read all my old Nancy Drew mysteries during study breaks and as an excuse to procrastinate. But it was awesome!
I always was interested in the Nancy Drew cookbook too, but I don't think they publish that anymore. I suppose I could get that on eBay. Does anyone have that?
I love Nancy Drew and attribute my mystery-solving skills to her. Has anyone seen the Nancy Drew movie? I caught it on ABC Family. I also read the adult book about the "real" Nancy Drew.
I used to love Nancy Drew. The library where I grew up had a pretty good collection, and I blew through them. I can't really remember all that much about the stories, though... it's been many years.
