It’s awards day again. That means one fun fact about my childhood reading life and five new blogs to visit.
I used to love to play Nancy Drew. Sometimes I was Nancy, and sometimes I was Helen or George. My friend and I would clomp around in her mother’s high heels, carrying ancient thrift-store purses. We were never really sure about the mystery we were solving, but that didn’t stop us from gathering clues: receipts found in gutters, old cigarette butts, a rock kicked across the sidewalk, we’d collect them all.
Later, after our march around the block, we’d empty our purses and dig through our finds. Somehow, the mystery would all come together due to our fabulous sluething skills.
And here are the winners of the Best Blog award:
1. Julie of Literary Jules
2. Susan Quinn of Ink Spells
3. Lily Cate at The Literary Lily Cate
4. Jenny at twentybyjenny
5. Kath at [Insert suitably snappy title here…]
Winners, please select five other blogs to award, and congratulations!
Thanks for the award! I’m going to have to check out your other blogger friends as well . . .
I’m glad you’re enjoying Ink Spells!
Thanks so much! That such an honour! 🙂
I will think about the five I’d pick and let you know 🙂
Congratulations Ladies! And to you Caroline P.I.!
Ooh! New blogs to check out! I never read Nancy Drew so missed that game. Instead, I pretended I was Tarzan.
I loved reading Nancy Drew, but never played her. Congrats on your award!

I loved being Nancy Drew as a kid 🙂
Thanks for some new links to check out!
Thanks so much for the award! And I love your story. For my part, it was The Black Stallion and I would make horses out of chairs and tie ropes around to make reins and I’d ride along island beaches and in races against fabulous horses. It’s wonderful to know that we lived lives that allowed our creativity to blossom. Without that, we wouldn’t be called to fiction like we are. And long live fiction!
