since i’ve made close to 80 something and counting of those book related aesthetics (moodboards?? collages?? whatever you want to call them) for my ongoing readthrough, here’s a page to navigate through them all by title and current release year

#also it's a long list of all the books in order of year not necessarily month because the details on the rewrites were too hard to pin down #ndedit #hbedit #and i'm not sure how else to put this?? but all of the images used in those are free source #or are otherwise pictures used within the category of fair use or should be #something i really aim to do at least especially with newer ones as i continue making them as i go #because they're fun not sure if anyone else cares but hey it's something

i AM in fact thriving every time the nancy drew diaries series continues and we get a new diaries book on the publisher page. it's like finding your favorite snack still being sold at the gas station.

#music festival mystery let's gooooooo #we have not had one of those in a minute it feels like

i know we've talked about the post SEA flop of herinteractive to death but god im never getting over it....its just so embarrassing for a company to be making these games for 2 decades and then just decide to shit the bed and tank the company like

#absolutely legendary crash out caused by one woman

honestly i'm just glad the nancy drew diaries series is still going (and will hopefully continue to do so) because vans & villains was a banger imo, totally out of left field, hit me with the steel chair of fun

#we don't always win but i have a feeling they brought a ghost writer back or had this manuscript a minute #but either way it was pretty good

#i stan one fictional man #also if this is clue in the diary it's literally his introduction to the series #and nancy #one man stans so hard it shifts a paradigm

#44 The Haunted Fort

#hbedit #hardy boys #clue crew #yeah this is a weeeeird book #it's basically about two things painting and forts #and neither of those are very interesting #not a lot sticks out about this besides some thinly veiled racism

Nancy Drew Diaries

What Disappears in Vegas // Superstitions of The Scottish Play

#ndedit #nancy drew #clue crew #what up it's ya boy yes it took me an entire year to read these books slash finish these #in my defense! i didn't like the first one for wdiv #and the superstitions of the scottish play one features something that was probably the intent #but then got muddled up into an ending i wasn't happy about as far as direction it took #there are no sexual misconduct allegations in nancy drew books still if you're worried #i'm glad this series is still going #see you in another two years when hopefully there's two more

i deeply regret the fact that i never could get a hold of a lot of the hardy boys casefiles books (because they're mostly out of print and barely any are digitized)

because what do you mean iola gets blown up in one book and then cloned in a later one and that's just a thing that happens??

#hi guys i'm still around #no but i'm serious about this i have digital copies of like 1 through 44 #76 to 78 and then number 89 #so just between those numbers i'm missing 40 books #it took me five years to get all the nancy drew og manuscripts i'm not going on a 40 BOOK search plus whichever ones are after number 89

#079 Sky Sabotage

#hbedit #clue crew #hardy boys #yes this one features donald duck and seaworld #because at several points in this book the boys go to legally distinct seaworld #and to legally distinct disneyworld or land or whatever #but joe dresses up as legally distinct donald duck called dandy duck #this is truly just a Florida mystery #also learned from making that that seaworld does in fact still house killer whales #which i thought they would have learned NOT to do anymore due to the... you know murder and cruelty #but nope apparently still a thing and they still do shows #horrific to learn thanks to a hardy boys book so that sucks

i'm really such a big fan of how the nancy drew and hardy boys ghostwriters were apparently required to end as many chapters on a cliff hanger as possible, because that just means you get shit like "nancy gasped as something flew towards her head!" and then you turn the page and it says "the piece of paper that was floating through the air hit her gently in the face"

#they would truly be like 'and then the CAR FELL INTO A DITCH'#and then on the next page a nice man with a tow truck happens by and he's like #hey fellows need help getting out of that ditch!#and then for one paragraph they're like 'wow what a mild inconvenience that was'#'anyway'

#21 The Clue of the Broken Blade

#hbedit #clue crew #hardy boys #a weird and bizarre collage for a weird and bizarre book(s)#the wine and cheese picture is my favorite #mostly because no it's not in one particular version of the story #it's in both but in a way that in the 1970 vers the boys are at a vineyard #and in the 1942 vers the criminal eats a lot of cheese #which is actually how they identify him at the end #in a completely absurd way that stuck with me so when i read the vineyard part #i went OH WINE AND CHEESE

when i make one of those image block posts per book, i tend to make a list after/while i finish reading of things that best summarize/distinguish the book's story beats

going really well for clue of the broken blade so far...

#i cannot handle john button original manuscripts #like they are so fascinating in that what the actual hell is this man talking abouttttt #that said i think this is the last book he wrote in the original line up #dr. john you and i will always have something special and it's that i truly don't understand your fucking mind #rip if you're dead but i somehow doubt that because i feel like you would upload your brain to the cloud as soon as possible

#43 The Mystery of the Aztec Warrior

#hbedit #clue crew #hardy boys #yup i'm back from the dead and this is the first book i read on returning #also sorry there's no eclipse in the book that one is there purely just for vibes #no what DOES happen in this book that i can't quite fit in there is mormon propaganda #mostly the belief that quetzacoatl the aztec god was actually white jesus #they really just sluiced that one in there #and other dumbfoundingly culturally ignorant things #the boys literally see a brown man at the airport and they're like sir are you MEXICAN #and he's like yes?? and then they show him a picture of bob spanish word #and they're like do you know this OTHER MEXICAN #as if it is not an entire country #amazing boy detective work going on in this one #fenton literally tells them to fuck off and they do and i like to imagine it's because he wasn't going to do fuck all #because the mystery was stupid
