I thought it might be cool to talk about how we all got into the hardy boys :)

The first book I read was Casefiles #7 Deathgame. I liked it, but I wouldn't have called myself a fan yet. Later, I read all but the last couple chapters of Casefiles #1 Dead on target but have still never finished it. A while after that, I read Casefiles #42 The Last Laugh. Now I consider myself to be Hardy boys fan and I may owe some of that to The Last Laugh, the book that probable, in a way, made me the HB fan I am today ;) ;D

although my story may be a little  :D cheesy :D and simple, maybe you have a better one, do you ??? ??? ???

I got Hardcover books in a 1-6 gift pack and I couldn't put it down. It all snowballed from there.
Don't worry, I have a plan.

I started reading my first Hardy Boys book (The Tower Treasure) on Tuesday, March 15, 1994.  My mom wanted me to get away from the TV and the Nintendo a little bit more, so when we were in a Giant Tiger store in Deep River, she told me to look at the rack of Hardy Boys books and pick one.  Anyway, a few months later (around September) I checked out from the school library a Casefiles book (Collision Course, I believe), and I found it okay.  Then I checked out Mystery Train, and I didn't finish it.  Anyway, on Easter Saturday 95, I picked up Dead On Target at Coles and I couldn't put the book down (I had just finished the Operation: Phoenix trilogy, and I was hoping that I could find that, but I couldn't).  Then I got a few Casefiles and Original/Digests at garage sales that summer, and the rest is history.

First I heard about the Hardys and Nancy Drew was throught the 1977 tv series. Became a big Shaun Cassidy fan. I didn't read anything until I got my computer and found Moonstars fanfiction. That's when I found the books but I started with the Casefiles. I'm not sure of the first one. I got the majority on ebay and then searching for the rest at the used book stores.

"You!"

Well, I hated to read. One time I was at my school library and I returned this book on a dog. I really really hated to read. I found it uninteresting. Who cares about a little girl and her dog? I prefer to watch cartoons all day. On the other hand my sister was more of a bookworm and I never thought I'd relate.  One day I was vacationing at a shop in San Antonio. It was an antique store and I saw several old book series. There was Annette Funachelo stories, and then there was the Hardy boys blue spine books. I didn't want another girly book dealing with dogs, and I was intrigued by the cover. I bought the #1 Tower Treasure and my sis bought the Annette.  I had fun reading it, and went back and bought some more.  I went online to read some fan fiction, and found out there was a lot more to read.  I just didn't stop.  So every time my parents went on vacation I end up finding more and more.  Some were in Antique shops, Salvation Army, and book stores. And now I still continue reading. ;D

That's cool, I like to visit the River Walk sometimes and eat the Mexican food at Casa Rio. It's a small world. :D

My older brother and sister both read casefiles when they were my age, and they said I should try them when I was old enough, and I did.   And, well, I just never stopped.
