Deadly Intent by Carolyn Keene


This book was part of the Nancy Drew Files (Case 2) which were a series that I read continuously when I was younger. I've been wanting to reread these books as they helped to spark my love for a good mystery! The Heart of a Child reading challenge is giving me a chance to do this...the only problem being that I couldn't find the 1st book in this series and I HATE reading series out of order. I am going to try and find the first one but for now I have to settle for starting at number 2.
The FUN part of rereading is that because it has been SO long-well, it feels like I'm reading them for the 1st time (even though that isn't the case). This was a FUN little mystery for me..fast-paced, not too deep, and familiar characters that you can't help but love. In this case Nancy is trying to find a missing guitarist. Her list of suspects EVEN includes her good friend Bess' new boyfriend. Plus, Ned joins up with Nancy to help solve the case! This MOST DEFINITELY brought me back to my childhood (in a good way)...but don't read these expecting too much out of them..they are on the light side! LOL! But I had fun reading this which is all that matters!

Heart Of A Child Challenge


I just joined another challenge that I am excited about. This challenge requires readers to reread books from their childhood. Just the other day I was thinking that I would LOVE to reread some of the Nancy Drew series as this was a series that I read constantly in my youth. I loved these books and they were a big part of why I was drawn to reading. So I'm glad that I have the chance to read them again! I'm not going to post a list...it will just be the first six books in this series. But I would really like to read the entire series again. I'll just have to wait and see.
