Hardy Sleuth

:) yes, that would be great if someone wants to step up to the plate... :D

Well, as requested, if no one else takes Dec, I'll pinch hit (keeping with the baseball metaphors ;)) with #189 One False Step (The Hardy Boys Mystery Stories) which is a grand slam mystery. While I'm not on here, I'll reread the book so regardless of whether or not someone else has the December book discussion, I won't be striking out because I'll be reading a cool mystery. ;D

I suppose we can wait a few more days and see if anyone else wants to do it, but I'm thinking you can probably go forward with One False Step, Hardy Sleuth. (But just review the book- don't actually take one false step because I don't want you to fall and hurt yourself. ;) 1 Corinthians 10:12 could be the theme of that book.)

So we wound up covering 5 of The Hardy Boys Mystery Stories, 4 of The Hardy Boys Casefiles, 1 of The Nancy Drew & Hardy Boys Super Mystery ('88) books, 1 of The Hardy Boys: Secret Files and even 1 of the spinoff books. (The Hardy Boys Handbook: Seven Stories of Survival). Pretty nice mix!

And a particular thanks to everyone who stepped up to take on an extra month, given that typically we've only been having forum members do two months at most during the year.
So I guess this leads to the question- Do we want to continue this for next year? We're fast coming up on the new year- shall we get the 2014 Book Club thread going? :) 8)
