I was a Nancy Drew freak when I was a kid. I’ve got like 80+ of the paperback “newer” Nancy Drew books not to mention a slew of Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys Mysteries and River Heights books. I keep wondering why I keep them? I could use those bookshelves. I pretend it’s for my kid – so she will can love Nancy as much as I did. I suspect the truth is more that I don’t want to let go of *my* love.
Meanwhile, I had to disrupt the order of my Nancy Drew books just so that I could find the books I was suddenly craving. Did anyone else ever read the All That Glitters series by Kristi Andrews? I think there were 8 books in the series. I’m missing a few of them and I need to see if I can find the missing books online. This is the line across the top of the book meant to describe it for those picking it up, “Their lives are a soap opera – on and off the screen!”
Look, even when I was a kid I liked cheesy teen dramas!
As I was pulling out the books, I rediscovered one of my other favorites, the My Name is Paris series by Elizabeth Howard. There were only 4 books in this series and I always wished she had written more. Hmmm, I’d probably write fanfic of these books if I were into them today. I may just have to re-read these four this week. Paris called to me and there was mystery because we all know I’m a sucker for mysteries. Anyone else ever heard of this series? Beyond my Nancy Drew fetish, I have discovered that I often liked books no one else read. What’s up with that?







Oh. My. God.
All That Glitters? The series about the teens who worked on the tv show?
Loved. It.
Yes! That is it.
Thank goodness I’m not the only one who loved it! I just realized I’m only missing #5 and I can get it for $.01 on Amazon. Crazy woman that I am, I have to order this book.
I’d do it! In fact, I wonder if I could get a set myself…. I have found myself eyeballing the YA fiction at yard sales/used book stores, wondering if those books really existed or if they were figments of my imagination.
Ohh, I did it. Hee. Amazon has all of them listed through used booksellers: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/index=books&field-author-exact=KRISTI%20ANDREWS/102-1948870-3449739
