I have a deep, dark secret I've been dying to share.... I'm a little ashamed, especially since I'm 29 and I'm still obsessed after all these years.
Today I picked up.....
Don't judge.. I couldn't help it! I've grown up with Elizabeth and Jessica Wakefield since I was a skinny bookworm reading a Sweet Valley Kids a day (My parents would buy we a few at a time so we wouldn't make so many trips to the bookstore). Then it was on to Sweet Valley Kids, SV High (I still have my complete sets....yikes!), and finally SV University.
When I heard that this book was coming out, I had a flashback and had to buy it. I'm thirty pages in and it's like I never grew up.
After all these years, I'm still Team Elizabeth (duh, fellow goody-two shoes!) and I'm shocked at what Jessica has done this time (I won't spoil it for those fans out there, but it's crazy what she did!).
Are there any fellow Sweet Valley fans out there? If not, what was your guilty pleasure back when you were growing up?
ohmgosh i love that i just came across your blog 1. because i'm your spring swap partner ha and 2. i ADORED the sweet valley high books and was always TEAM ELIZABETH for being the goody-two shoes and being amazing (lover of books too ha) Ahhh! I def need to get that book as well!
ReplyDeleteMy forty year old sister would fight you for that book. She has all of them. My mother loaned a couple to a girl in the neighborhood and my sister came unglued.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness!!! I can't believe they came out with this book - I'm actually right there with you (I also loved Elizabeth and most of the time wanted to punch Jessica in the face). You'll have to let me know how it is!!!
ReplyDeleteNo judging, I am going to get my copy soon, too! Cannot wait to read this one!
ReplyDeletehello! haha! My best friend and I would spend our pocket money on SVH books, then swap them with each other. We were Obsessed! then they brought out the TV series, and , well it was never quite the same. I really regret getting rid of those books, i had sooooo many!! x
ReplyDeleteI think all my books are still up in my Moms attic along with my collection of BSC books.
