Sweet Valley High: Redux
NS November 14th, 2007
This is cracking me up. If you read the Sweet Valley High books as a kid, you will love it. From the blog’s author:
My goal is to reread the entire series to relive my tween years, and also to get really angry at how SVH gave me a false and misguided view of high school life. And life in general. In fact, I blame all my insecurities, problems and worries on these books.
Right now I am focusing on the Sweet Valley High series only, because these were the ones I read most as a child. Reading the Twins, Jr. High, Senior Year and University opens a whole can of worms that I am not ready for.
Rereading these books have made me nostalgic for other books and series from my childhood, so lately I have been inlcuding reviews/summaries. The Baby-Sitters Club was HUGE for me, but there are so many other great blogs out there that recap these, so I couldn’t do it justice.
This site is intended for entertainment. Please don’t take anything personally or seriously.
What a great idea! Why didn’t I think of this? It’s making me all nostalgic. Determined not to be a total copycat, I think I might find a book I read as a child or teenager (just one, not a whole series) and re-read it for fun. It will undoubtedly have different meaning now but I think it will be an interesting experiment.
To anyone tempted to make fun of me, I say only this: Shut up, Harry Potter fan. I never got into the Hogwart’s heroin but damn it if I don’t partake in a little Babysitters Club boozing.
