"Sweet Valley: Ten Years Later"

[ApplePiePhi]

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. 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

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.

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.
