LOL…it was just a general reflection Jamun. I never said it was us. My comment was meant as a jokey sort of clarification, LOL. We were simply having a healthy discussion on our experiences and observations which allows us both to learn from one another’s ideas:) A rather stimulating intellectual exchange, I would say! LOL. 
About mysteries…I’m really picky about them. I never read Nancy Drew as a kid. But I read Nancy Drew for an educational literature class…and I dindn’t like it. The mystery aspect in the story was good. However, I was somewhat turned off with how perfect Nancy was made to be as the main character. Not only was she supposed to be a brilliant detective, she was also pretty, and charming, etc. As a reader, i like my characters to have flaws because that adds more depth to their personalities.
For young adults, I would recommend the mystery book, From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankenweiler. I never read this as a kid but enjoyed it as an adult. It’s about a girl and her brother who run away from home and spend the nights in a museum where the come across a mystery regarding the masterpiece of a famous renaissance artist.
As a kid, I grew up on the books written by Judy Blume. She’s a common favorite for many young girls. Oh, I **LOVED **her casual style of writing. I’ve read almost all her books and still enjoy revisiting them as an adult. She’s written books for adults, which are complex and entertaining.
The most recent mystery that I read was the best-selling novel, The Thirteenth Tale. It is about a renowned author who, a long time ago, wrote a book titled The Thirteenth Tale…BUT the book only has 12 tales. Her health is failing and she knows she will die soon…so she invites a journalist to come stay with her and learn about her life and it’s significance to the missing 13th tale. In learning about the author’s life, the journalist is able to analyze the grief in her own life and tie up some loose threads with her parents.
I’m going to hold off for a while before reading Sense and Sensibility. BUT…Reha and Mina, if you guys have any book recommendations, fire away! Mina, I dont’ think I’m going to read The Other Boelyn Girl because I’ve already seen the movie. BUT, I do enjoy the medieval time period. For a while I was obssessed with it and only read novels relevant to the that era. So, if you have any good scandalous historical fiction books in mind…lemme know!
