This week is super long book titles. I'm going a little rogue (as usual seems like) and am actually going to present some more Nancy Drew/ Hardy Boy covers. I did some a few weeks ago but I was actually wanting to some more for October- match up with the season, maybe find some of the spookier or mysterious ones. With Covid though I'm behind on posts so this is kinda late. Here are some of the cover images that jump out at me and kind of tell a story or make me intrigued.
My older sister read Nancy Drew so I recognize some of these covers. So nostalgic.
ReplyDeleteYou're making me so nostalgic. My grandmother had some of these books, and she let us read them. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by earlier.
Oooh, these are some intriguing titles. The vampire one sounds especially interesting. I read a lot of Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys back in the day, so it's possible I've already read. Might be time to revisit these classics, though.
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
Nice rogue list!! The book titles are still long!
ReplyDeleteHere's a link to my TTT post: https://captivatedreader.blogspot.com/2020/10/top-ten-tuesday-books-ive-read-with.html
I love that you combined one of your personal favorite things to post about with this topic. I love seeing those Nancy Drew/Hardie Boys covers. I hope you're feeling almost back to normal now.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't be bothered looking through Goodreads for long titles-anything too time consuming to research I just can't be bothered with right now! I hope you're feeling ok and get back to normal (Whatever normal is these days!) as soon as possible!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the classic covers, because those were the books I read. You shouldn't worry about being behind. You have the RONA! Get your rest and get well.
ReplyDeleteI loved hitting the library twice a month to fill up on Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys books when I was a kid. Great old covers!
ReplyDeleteClassics!
ReplyDeleteI knew you were going to go with the vintage ones! Love it!!
ReplyDeleteYou should change your blog's logo or background to something vintage... That will be so cool.
Thanks for stopping by Greg!
I love these classic covers! Makes me want to reread some Nancy Drew mysteries. :)
ReplyDeleteOoh! Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys! They are always fun to read! Great list!
ReplyDeleteHere’s my Top Ten Tuesday!

Those old covers are so much fun! I have to admit that I didn't like mysteries when I was young so I've never read much of Nancy Drew or The Hardy Boys. That feels so... un-American!
ReplyDeleteI remember reading some of these LOL! They did have long titles, geesh!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE you take on this weeks topic. My daughter was briefly obsessed with Nancy Drew and the Kachina Doll Mystery--a bold act of defiance since her AHG Troop wasn't allowed to make Kachina dolls--ridiculous!
ReplyDeleteLisa @ https://hopewellslibraryoflife.wordpress.com/2020/10/13/top-ten-tuesday-nonfiction-books-ive-read-with-super-long-book-titles/
I definitely remember some of those Nancy Drew covers from my childhood!
ReplyDeleteI feel like most classic books have longer titles. They almost give away the entire plot just in the title lol!
ReplyDeleteI hope youre feeling well!!
ReplyDeleteI love these covers!! Nancy Drew is the best and Drew was on my list of girl names for this new baby I'm having.
The Haunted Fort is perfect for this time of year!
ReplyDeleteWow, short-wave radios. I haven't thought about them in ages. 😯
ReplyDeleteHope you're able to hang in there okay <3 I have to admit I haven't read any Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew before! But I know my mum used to love and adore Nancy Drew a lot :3
ReplyDeleteThese covers take me back to middle school when I adored Nancy Drew mystery books! I have such fond memories of these books ♡
ReplyDeleteYou're a rebel Greg lol I do like looking at these covers though.
ReplyDeleteKaren @ For What It's Worth
This was a tough topic but I love where you went with this! Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys is always the way to go!
ReplyDeleteI love these covers. They may seem extreme for adults, but as kids I remember feeling like I had to tear open the book right away and start reading. A feeling of urgency.
ReplyDeleteI was never a reader as a child although my mom told me about Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys books. At my age, I don't really know if I'll ever try them at this point. But maybe just try one.
ReplyDeleteDanger on Vampire Trail -- that seems so unlike a HArdy Boys title, which makes me even more curious about it.
ReplyDeleteHello! I really like this kind of posts. I just found your blog and decided to start following it. You can come to my blog to see the reviews I write. Have a nice day :)
ReplyDeleteWhat great covers.
ReplyDeleteLove Love Love Nancy Drew so much <3
ReplyDeleteThese titled could definitely be over the top. Haha! I loved The Hardy Boys growing up!
ReplyDeleteI feel like there's always going to be danger on something called a "Vampire Trail", right? (Also that one kid looks like the other kid's parasitic head twin, I must need sleep ha.) These are really fun though!!
ReplyDeleteI have never read Nancy Drew or The Hardy Boys! However, I did buy a few for my son, so hopefully I'll get to them soon. :)

Greg, I started collecting the Nancy Drews, I enjoyed so much as a child, for my granddaughters.
ReplyDeleteI've always loved this style of cover! When I see one, even without looking at the title, I just know it's a Nancy Drew or Hardy Boys. Too fun.
