Couldn‘t even finish it. Characters were all so flat and I couldn‘t relate to any of them. For a guy who has 4 kids of his own, the author sure doesn‘t understand kids. Also Litsy app hasn‘t been working for me since my phone updated. Hence my absence. But got it fixed by uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Yay!

#SundayFunday @BookmarkTavern

I first read these books by Rosamond du Jardin back in middle school in the 70s. They are all about teen romance in the 50s and 60s--when you went to the malt shop after school, came home, and Mom had milk and cookies waiting for you while you sat at the kitchen table looking out of the window with the chintz curtains. Absolute nostalgia overload.

Battle of the Cheerleaders | Francine Pascal, Jamie Suzanne

Despite the girls‘ basketball team championship of #20PlayingHooky, the school no longer has a girls team & after Steven gives his sisters a basketball lesson, they‘re naturals! Steven needs coaching experience & so the Honeybees are formed— but the boys‘ team isn‘t supportive— refusing to go to games! So the Boosters boycott them, ending their winning streak! Bruce Patman cuts a deal in the end, & it‘s all a good laugh despite the inconsistency!

3.5/5 ⭐️ - I think I was expecting something witchy when I picked this book up, it was an average read for me so it took me a while to get through it. However, it was much better than other reviews lead me to believe.

The book follows a 13 year old girl named Emily who is a twin. It highlights the pains of growing up to realize life is not ever as simple as it seems when you‘re young and perhaps naive of the world around you.

Deadly Voyage | Francine Pascal, Jamie Suzanne

Pickpick

A group of 25 SVMS students are headed for a Saturday field trip for extra science credit to Santa Maria Island… but the boat abruptly leaves before the teacher or chaperones get on! At first, this only adds to the fun until they discover the real captain & first mate tied up! The boat‘s been hijacked by bank robbers who don‘t seem afraid to throw them all off into shark-infested waters! They must save themselves! What a cliffhanger of an ending!

Elizabeth the Seventh Grader | Francine Pascal, Jamie Suzanne
post image
Pickpick

After a parent-teacher conference, everyone agrees that Elizabeth is too smart to stay in the 6th grade. She gets a whole new schedule, & to her twin‘s horror (especially since this means Liz is invited to 7th/8th only parties!), immediately becomes a 7th grader! Steven helps with a reverse psychology plan, but though Liz aces her new classes, she lacks the fashion sense needed & feels out of place with spin the bottle in particular! New to me!

Cuddling up with the baby boy doing some evening reading. About 40 pages in, hoping it‘ll pick up soon.

Todd Runs Away | Francine Pascal, Jamie Suzanne

Pickpick

12 students join a special creative writing class— Liz wants Todd to be in it, but he with an undefeated basketball team & his dad‘s pressure, he‘s not sure he can. He decides to give it a chance & then really gets into it—even skipping practice! Mr. Wilkins tries to have the teacher fired & Todd feels like he has no choice but to flee. Liz talks him into staying & it works out! Also, the twins buy their first bras in a hilarious series of tries!

JenlovesJT47 Oh Todd 😒 lol I have such mixed feelings about him! 2mo
TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 Same!! He could be soo boring but then, unexpectedly fun! I don‘t think his love of writing continues much beyond this one, though! 2mo
JenlovesJT47 I think I‘ve read this one once maybe so I can‘t remember it but I read all the SVH books and most of the time he gives Liz a hard time about her writing if it interferes with Todd time 😆 2mo

Jessica and the Earthquake | Francine Pascal, Jamie Suzanne
post image
Pickpick

Usually the heaviest sleeper in the house, Jessica is the only one to stir when the house rumbles around her. In the morning, they learn this is the first #SweetValleyEarthquake since 1972! Liz wants to write about it for The Sixers, but Jess is the only one who seems to have experienced it. As usual, she starts exaggerating & soon has talked herself into predicting the next quake! Lila wants to humiliate her, so she throws a party, tees are made!

JenlovesJT47 This is a good one! 2mo
TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 I had forgotten just how much fun this one was!! 2mo
