Sweet Valley Snark

Auto Date Sunday, July 1st, 2007

As you can tell from the title of this blog, I am a huge Sweet Valley fan. I started reading them in 2nd grade and stopped in college only because they stopped publishing them (which upset me not only as a reader, but . I’d love to go back and reread them all but that’s a pretty daunting task considering there are hundreds of them, most of them are written horribly, and there are tons of continuity problems (just how many Christmases can there be in one year), but even though certain subplots are really awful, a lot of it was just good fun.

Now there’s a Live Journal community dedicated to recapping old Sweet Valley books. 1Bruce1 has a community of readers who are going back to their childhood favorites and pulling apart just how ridiculous they are - with a lot of snark and love.

Here’s a couple of favorites:

College Girls - SVU
Dear Sister - SVH
Brokenhearted - SVH

Thanks to Pop Goes the Library for the link.

    Hmmmm…I liked SV for a couple of years but I’m not sure I could go back and reread them. Maybe I could go back to Cherry Ames instead?

    I heard a while back that Francine Pascal was going to make a new Sweet Valley, called Sweet Valley Heights. Jessica and Elizabeth as adults living in a gated community. No matter how bad they would be, I would read them.

    Have you heard anything about this?
