So, the title has no intelligent meaning, really, but the beginning rhymes. I think I'm clever for that. Later, I'll regret how stupid that is. (Probably, but right now, I'm just clever and a little giddy about what I'm about to say.)But, I have to say I'm super excited because today I brought home 24 Nancy Drew books (and another couple dozen other classic children's books. So excited.
We had them unclaimed at our family farm. My father (insert gasp here!) was just going to throw them away! I saved them! (And apparently there are more in our trailer for me to save, but I haven't done that yet, but he knows he's not allowed to throw ANYTHING away until I go through them.
So, I had to see how many Nancy Drew books there are because now that I have 24 of them, I want to collect more (but only the old, classic hardcovers... that's kind of the point.)
So, in the "old format" there are 56 books. Then there's a bunch of new ones that are just in paperback (yawn), I like the OLD books.
How cool are these though? I'm so excited.
I. Love. Books.
The. End.
Laura, this is SO cool. I collect Trixie Belden books. And I love the old books, hardcover and all the different versions. I find them on eBay every now and then. Love it! :) (Sara from Sem days)
ReplyDeleteSara,
ReplyDeleteI got a handful of Trixie Belden books too. I hadn't ever read those as a kid, but had read Nancy Drew so I was really excited about those. I also got some Bobbsy Twins books, too. Also classics, but n ever read them. I am tracking all of the ones I have so far in Evernote (AMAZING PROGRAM) and will watch Half Price Books and used books sales for more. But first, I have to see what other wonderful books got stuck in our trailer. I'm a book saver!
