In the aftermath of Regina‘s tragic death, all of #SweetValley— including her own parents— lay the blame at Molly Hecht‘s feet. It was her party, her connection to dealer Buzz. Molly tries to reach out but even St. Liz rebuffs her. But Liz doesn‘t totally abandon her own good nature & tries to convince Justin Belson to talk to his ex. A dramatic finish brings justice & new hope for Molly. Plus Jessica sets up a scholarship in Regina‘s honor!

This is probably one of the most memorable of all #SweetValleyHigh books! Beautiful Regina‘s brush with drugs & the rougher side of Sweet Valley has a tragic ending that has stuck with every reader of the series that I‘ve ever met! Amy‘s got her eyes set on Bruce, & after a disastrous cookout at the Wakefields, Regina pushes everyone except her new friend Justin away. But Justin has some friends with shady connections… completely heartbreaking!

JenlovesJT47 Poor Regina, she was so nice and sweet. This made me terrified to ever try cocaine! 17h

Let‘s try this event for Valentine‘s Day! Sign up using the Google form linked below. When you sign up, provide a link to a list of books you want to read. This can be a Goodreads shelf, a Google doc, spreadsheet, etc. I will announce matches by Jan 31. THIS IS NOT A SWAP: nobody is buying or mailing anything.

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1TLDK6HByv6Kz6SGt5-p2J0DkcxmuLH55B2Ttp8CWFQQ/edi...

CSeydel When you get your match, you will make a post with 5 “hidden” books: 4 chosen from their list, and one surprise book that you recommend. DO NOT SHARE TITLES. Include 3-5 words/phrases describing the book. Eg, “Classic sci-fi; Chunkster; Film adaptation” could point to DUNE. Try not to be too obvious but give enough info to make a choice. 1w
CSeydel When your match posts your blind date candidates, you choose one based on the descriptions, and then they reveal the title. Everyone reads their blind date book over Valentine‘s Day weekend (or anytime in February). 1w

CSeydel @Bookwormjillk Yes! The idea is you choose one of the blind dates and you read it on Valentine‘s Day weekend. (After that, if you want to reveal more of the titles and read them, I won‘t stop you!) 7d

I was thinking of hosting a #BlindDateWithaBook event in February - any interest?

Here‘s how it works. First - it‘s NOT A SWAP. More like the Trapped in a Spooky House game. You share a TBR list, and your match chooses 5 books from that list for you to pick from. Your match does NOT share the titles, but just some key facts, like genre, themes, etc. You choose your book “blind” and then your match reveals the title, and you read it. Who‘s in?

CSeydel If there‘s enough interest I‘ll make a Google sign up form 2w
Karisimo Interested! 2w
Bookworm54 I would be interested :) 2w

BethM The his sounds fun! I‘m too much of a mood reader, but great idea! 2w
Faranae I like this idea, but my TBR is over 1000 books, I'm not sure what someone would do with that. 😂 1w
CSeydel @Faranae I feel you! If you really want to join, you have a couple of options. You can just let them choose from the list of 1000+ and see how it goes. Or you can make a list with 100 or so that you‘re more interested in reading right now, and share that link. 1w

One more #wdncw, then it's back to the books:

We do not care if Storygraph has prepared our 2025 reading wrap-up. We still have 5 hours of reading left, and 2 books that are nearly finished. 🤣
