I remember picking up a few Sweet Valley University books after I finished off the series of Sweet Valley High.. weren't bad, maybe I would enjoy it a little bit more now that I'm in university? I just liked the idea of highschool life in those books when I read them in gradeschool.

Also read a few of the "horror" ones from the SVU as well. I can't remember much if I enjoyed them though.

I just wonder if she changes the "perfect size 6" of the twins' to something a little less now with this day and age's ideal of size..

Would love an update on Nancy Drew, she was my favourite - along when she teamed up with the Hardy Boys. I wasn't thrilled with the movie..

Nope. I got the copy of the first chapter and in it, there's so much prose about how stunning and perfect the twins are. :rolleyes: There's also lots of mention about Elizabeth's orgasms. No joke.

I actually love reading the re-released ORIGINAL Nancy Drew books. Applewood Press put them out a few years ago. I like them SO much better than the later versions of the same stories (the first 15 or so were re-written in the 1950s). I definitely would not want those books to be re-updated to the 21st century. Plus, aren't there about 500 stories right now. lol

Further hijack...did anyone else read the Girl Talk series?? I LOVED them!! I was just thinking about them the other day. I read all 45 of them one summer. I think I read each one at least 3 times - more for my favorites.

Yes, I'm a geek.

Agreed, agreed! I LOVE the original Nancy Drews, and I used to check out stacks of them from the library when I was little and read them at bedtime.

Did anyone ever read "The Secret Language"? I can't remember who wrote it but that was another book I loved so much as a little girl.

I shamefully remember reading all the SVU books. You could get them new for like a $1 at this store in my hometown. I read them throughout college, each in about an hour. I sadly, loved them. :P

LatinaAlumna: I loved The Secret Language! It was one of my favorite books when I was young.

I am so buying this book when it comes out. I loved Sweet Valley High. :D

Agreed. My mom gave me all of her Nancy Drew books from when she was a young girl! Loved them. Still reread some every now and then.

Jessica was in Theta Alpha Theta sorority lol

I liked SVH, BSC, and the Ramona books as a kid, too. There's a Ramona movie hitting theaters soon. I guess I'll go sign up for this chapter.

I read SVH when I was in my teens. The last one I remember reading was about some car accident that the twins were in, I believe Elizabeth was the one driving and Jessica took the blame or something like that.

Loved Nancy Drew and BSC when I was a kid.

I loved Ramona as well, though definitely not as much as BSC. I also read the spin-off series BSC Little Sister, about Karen Brewer. There was also some series about horses that I liked... I think it was Pony Pals?

They just don't make book series like they used to =(

...crazy.
I only read the Sweet Valley books when the twins were in the 2nd Grade and middle school/junior high ... I used to love those books.. I don't think I'll be reading these new adult ones! :)
