Anybody else find themselves feeling nostalgic, longing to read books from their childhood? I have been missing the Sweet Valley High books a lot lately. I read every single one of them in grade 8 with a friend. They really helped ignite my love of books.

TheBookWitchON And, of course, we can't forget The Babysitters Club! I was so happy when I was lost in my books. My childhood and early teens were quite traumatic, books helped me escape and feel safe. 3y

slategreyskies Mine were traumatic too. I think reading books saved me, you know? 3y

TheBookWitchON @slategreyskies I do know. It's how I learned about the type of person I wanted to be, how parents are suppose to treat their children, what a healthy relationship looks like. Not to mention escaping into another world even for just an hour. It made life a lot more tolerable. 3y

slategreyskies Yes, I get that. It was the same for me. I remember when my mom finally realized that sending me to my room wasn‘t a punishment to me (because I‘d be in heaven away from everyone else and just reading a book on my bed). After that, whenever I got in trouble, instead of being sent to my room, I‘d have to sit in the living room with everyone else without a book! Odd the things we remember. Books really were life changing. So glad you had them too. 3y

Whaaaattttt? I think it‘s time to dig into my old SVH books…

JamieArc @JenlovesJT47 Are you the Litten who was reading a bunch of these books? 3y

LibrarianRyan This just scares me. 3y

JenlovesJT47 Yes!! I‘m doing a read-through of the entire series in publication order. I have about 20 left in the regular SVH series, then moving on to Senior Year and SVU. Man I realize what a huge nerd I sound like! 🤓🙊😬 3y

Book 3 in the fashion miniseries wraps everything up in typical Sweet Valley fashion. Liz & Reggie almost get away with the big presentation for Liz‘s big idea for the magazine, but Leona unfortunately comes hobbling in on crutches at the last second and tells the bigwigs that Liz stole HER idea, so Liz and Reggie are fired on the spot. Leona tries to make things up to Liz and asks to meet her in L.A. for brunch. Liz is then almost run off ⬇️

JenlovesJT47 The road over the edge of a cliff by some crazy dude, but Todd is there to save the day. He makes a police report and they are able to track down the guy who says he was hired by Leona to kill Liz! ? Leona gets busted, Liz gets the crédit she deserves, Reggie is rehired and starts dating the president of the company! Meanwhile, Jessica does a swimsuit layout but breaks up with Quentin before it was published. She is in love with the mailroom ⬇️ 4y

JenlovesJT47 Guy Cameron, but she can‘t find him anywhere! She gets a package in the mail with the blue pages for the next issue that feature her swimsuit layout. There‘s also a mysterious invitation to a fancy party at the head honcho‘s house. She goes and sees Cameron, and it turns out he‘s not a lowly mailroom guy but the son of the head honcho and is filthy rich. All‘s well that ends well! Todd realizes living on his own at 16 isn‘t all it‘s cracked ⬇️ 4y

JenlovesJT47 @Tove_Reads do you like Enid? I mostly find her insufferable lol. 7y

Tove_Reads @JenlovesJT47 I absolutely loved her! It was the years prior to SWH though, so I was a bit younger. Before her it was Astrid Lindgren. 7y

JenlovesJT47 Cool! Jessica was always my favorite, even though she was so ridiculous sometimes. The whole series is available to read for free on openlibrary.org if you want to take a stroll down memory lane! 7y

Tove_Reads @JenlovesJT47 Awesome! Will have to check it out! Never read them in English. I was team Elizabeth 😊 7y

JenlovesJT47 I think I always liked Jessica more because she was the opposite of me and I wished I was more like her when I was growing up! 😄 7y

JenlovesJT47 Oh, I meant to ask, do you like receiving/sending postcards? I used to be really involved in postcrossing.com and really loved exchanging cards from Finland especially (because I love Moomin and collected as many as I could!). Just started sending postcards again to some of my Litsy friends and was wondering if that's something you'd be interested in. If not, no worries, doesn't hurt to ask! 🤗💚 7y

Oh yes I did. Earlier this year as part of my birthday buying bonanza I bought the first 12 of the Sweet Valley High books in Kindle. I was "too old" for these when they first came out and now I'm too old to give a damn. I guess it's the teacher in me but I'm always interested in reading trends among younger readers.

Megabooks I bought some of my fav BSC books, so I get it! 7y

LauraBeth Can I come over to your house and read these?! These were my FAVORITE! Sadly, I was an adult when Harry Potter came out and missed out on reading that as a child - but I did have SVH 😀 7y

Sace @LauraBeth 😂 I'd love to read Harry Potter as a child! I also somehow manged to not read A Wrinkle in Time as a child. I read it as an adult. I regret that. 7y

Megabooks #truth 7y

Sace @Booksandcooks I pretty much only read fluffy. Things suck enough in real life. The last thing I want to do is read depressing things. 7y

Oryx I kinda wish I hadn't given all my SVH away, would love to reread. But hoping that someone else enjoyed them after me. 7y

batsy I hung on to some of my SVH books! Sometimes you just need to tune out the world and read about Jessica Wakefield creating an European alter ego so that she won't be mistaken for Elizabeth. 7y

Sace @Oryx I struggle with giving away books. I generally don't reread, but I get afraid that I might want to. So I end up hanging on to books. 7y

Sace @batsy exactly! 7y

Octoberwoman I didn't read these til my late 20's! I was attending a business school by day while working by night, and some days I just did not want to go to class. But I also didn't want to listen to my husband gripe at me about skipping school so I'd go to the local library and sit and read these books! 8y

BooksForYears @Bookish_Predator I had to fight that urge! 8y

BooksForYears @WarpedSweetness @booksandsympathy @Octoberwoman I love how SWH has meant so much to us, and in so many different ways 😊 8y

BooksForYears @Deangirl @LeeRHarry That's awesome!! 8y

The Sweet Valley books (both Twins and High) were such an integral part of my childhood. I think I read every single book from each series. Such great memories! #sweet #junebookbugs

Oryx I loved these. Used to borrow them by the armful from the library. 8y

MidnightBookGirl Taking Sides was my first SVH read (which was why I never liked Todd and his coffee colored eyes, I was Team Jeffrey all the way!). 8y

Roselyn_Reads OMG mine too. I had the Sweet Valley Twins collection and I don't know what my mom did with it when we moved from one home to another. I cried. I loved, loved the Wakefield Twins. 8y

Birdsong28 Have you heard of Sweet Valley confidental? As it carries the story on as it is set when they are older.

Sweet Valley Confidential: Ten Years Later

Purrfectpages @Birdsong28 no, I've never read Sweet Valley Confidential. I've seen mixed reviews and I'm a bit afraid it will taint the Wakefield Twins in my eyes. Lol 8y

Purrfectpages @L_auren @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Cortg @Oryx @MidnightBookGirl @Silent_Whispers I hear ya! I salvaged some of my twins books. They have a new home in my third grade classroom. 8y

I don't know if either of them would have been considered a #BlondeBombshell in the books, I have no doubt that the Wakefield twins were absolute knockouts as adults. #Characters2017

Day 11 - my favorite children's book has to be the Sweet Valley series! I started reading the Sweet Valley Twins book in the 3rd grade and then moved on to Sweet Valley High, University, and Confidential. I liked to pretend I was like Jessica even though I was totally Elizabeth. #riotgrams

Laalaleighh Ughhhhh I loooooveed these 8y

Laalaleighh Wait, confidential? Haven't heard of this. 8y

FairyHighRoad @Laalaleighh Sweet Valley Confidential is the most recent book. It came out a few years ago. I heard bad reviews about it but I had to read it since it was Sweet Valley. The reviews were right - it was pretty disappointing. 8y

Laalaleighh Awww. Sad face. @LagerthaShieldMaiden 8y

I haven't read these books since elementary school, but they're the only ones I can think of for #riotgram day 9: #authororcharacterwhosharesyourname ... which seems weird, since Jessica is a fairly common name

Classic children's book covers photoshopped 😂some were too naughty to post, but they were all clever. 💫 trying to settle down for the #hpchapteraday and ready to finish the last 150 pages of #adiscoveryofwitches tonight. Maybe fit in some #grimm and #emeraldcity 👠 #TGIF feeling good! Have a wonderful evening everyone!!! I'm unplugging for the night!!! #unplugin2017
