If I were to go back in time and be in my grade five class room, I would identify the girls in my classroom according to the two types of book we read:
1. The girls who read Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys Mystery Books
AND
2. The girls who read Sweet Dreams Romantic Novels
But well fortunately , I WAS BOTH.
I enjoyed both worlds.
And how about you?
Were you into the love story- romance books
or were you into the sleuth- mystery ones?
If those books were part of your childhood , would you able to recognize them just by their covers?

“Password to Larkspur Lane” is my Number one Nancy Drew Book.
“The Missing Chums” on the other hand is my favorite Hardy Boys Story.
” The Popularity Plan” and “Ten Boy Summer” will always be my favorite Sweet Dreams Books.
But P.S. I Love You was my first heart break.
Nancy Drew, The Hardy Boys and Sweet Dreams will always remind me of that carefree life when I was younger and things were all simple and free.
