With decade is coming to a close, and 2010 and a new decade, just day away, I thought this would be a good to time to look back at our favorite
Hardy Boys books from the 2000s. In my opinion, this was one of the most eventful decades in
Hardy Boys history, but, at the same time, it didn't produce many fan favorites. The
Digests were on their last legs, and the
UB have been rather unpopular. Still, there's a few books that I've really enjoyed:

This decade (2010-2020) is not looking good for Hardy Boys books sadly. The UBs are on a rapid downhill trend, and the Secret Files don't sound very good either.

Even more reason to bring back the Casefiles!!! :)

And all the comic books have been great too. I think I like those better than the Undercover Brothers series actually. It was sad to see the Digests come to an end though because I really enjoy those quite well. And I definitely have some favorites I like to reread from time to time. (And I was really tickled to see #178 and #182 actually use the classic form of titles from the original 59- i.e. "The Mystery of" and "The Secret of") :)

Same here.
It's been months since I've thought about the books, so I'll just pick from some of your lists :)

Oh yeah, and I liked
Double Trouble (that book alone). I remember I stuck out with liking that one.
