Been a huge Sweet Valley fan since I was 9 years old. Still love reading them for nostalgia‘s sake. 🥰

The Fall Dance is only 2 weeks away & Jessica‘s determined to win as Fall Queen, since it‘s a guarantee that Bruce Patman will be king. Enid‘s boyfriend, Ronnie Edwards, is on the dance committee so Jess can‘t help but share with him a letter she found in Liz‘s bedroom—from Enid‘s ex, George Warren! Enid‘s wild past (as a 13 year old?!) is revealed & Enid blames Liz for blabbing her secrets. For revenge, Liz gets Winston Egbert crowned king!

JenlovesJT47 Where did you find these shirts?! I have random stuff I‘ve collected. Jess and Liz dolls, a Sweet Life tote bag, a couple of different 250-piece puzzles. Haven‘t looked for anything in awhile. eBay is where I usually find stuff. 1mo

TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 A tote bag?? I‘m super jealous!! This sweatshirt is from TeePublic— and I love it! I don‘t have any puzzles either! How fun! I do have the board game somewhere in the basement though! And I have the dolls but Jessica lost an arm to mice I think… she‘s been recently rescued from my dad‘s basement and now resides armless with her sister in a safer place in my basement! 🤣 1mo

JenlovesJT47 😅😅 well when my stuff was being held hostage I lost Liz the doll, who knows where she is. I can post a pic of my SV loot when I go home in a few days. I got the tote bag on eBay, it was some rare giveaway somewhere but I don‘t remember where 🤔. They have a lot of stuff on Etsy, too. Magnets and such. 🤓 And I definitely have the board game, my friend‘s grandma found it at a garage sale when we were in elementary school! 1mo

TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 I wish I could find the maps that came with the dolls! I was so sure that I had saved those! And definitely can‘t wait to see your Sweet Valley loot! I have had good luck on Etsy too— and I think I got my game at a used bookstore about 15 years ago! I made my husband and friend play it with me immediately but we haven‘t played since! 🤣 1mo

JenlovesJT47 My dolls haven‘t been opened I don‘t think, I can check the Jessica doll to see if the map is still in there. I do have a map of Sweet Valley that came in my fan club box if you want to see it. Actually I think I have a pic of it on my phone. And that‘s so funny! I haven‘t played the game since my bff and I played when we were kids. 1mo

JenlovesJT47 Actually, and forgive me if I‘ve shown you this before (I can‘t remember! 😳) but I sent pics of all my stuff to the snark valley blog owner years ago and she posted it, here‘s the link https://snarkvalley.wordpress.com/2017/11/30/sweet-valley-high-fan-club-the-orac... 1mo

TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 I definitely played with mine so the mice aren‘t totally to blame… though I didn‘t chew off that arm! 🤣 I would love to see even more pictures and I‘m checking the link out now!! 1mo

TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 You had the stationery??? So cool!!! 1mo

JenlovesJT47 I also had a pencil but I dunno what happened to it ☹️ I used the stationery when I was a kid but I have 2 or 3 sheets left. I also have a puzzle from the cover of Dangerous Love but I got it after these pics were taken. If you read her blog she is hilarious! She made that corn dog recipe from the Oracle and I remember making it once when I was a kid. Didn‘t turn out like we hoped 😆 1mo

JenlovesJT47 2 pencils actually!! 😅🤓🤓🤓 1mo

JenlovesJT47 Oops I just looked at the post, couldn‘t remember which puzzle was posted but the other one I have is of Jessica and A.J. Morgan. 1mo

TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 That recipe lost me at mustard water, hahaha, so I am just impressed you both actually tried it!! And AJ Morgan— I forgot about that redhead!! And pencils!! So cool!!! Now I have something to else to keep an eye out for on eBay! 1mo

JenlovesJT47 I think there are at least two other puzzles but I can‘t remember what they are. I even put the two that I have together a few years ago and surprisingly all the pieces were there. 1mo

TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 I will have to look for them!! So fun!! 1mo

JenlovesJT47 I checked out TeePublic last night and couldn‘t resist ordering this https://www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/2840920-sweet-valley-high-school 1mo

TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 Oooo— it looks like they have more designs than the last time I looked! I may have to be your twin in fashion as well! 1mo

JenlovesJT47 I might me a dork but I can guarantee I‘ll wear it all the time! #twinning 🤓 1mo

4✨ Enid‘s secret is revealed and Liz is to blame? Plus rumors are buzzing at Sweet Valley High. A fun read and I‘ll be reading another next month.

They (whoever that is) say that secrets are no fun… but after reading the second book in the Sweet Valley High series, I‘m not so sure that‘s true! The book is called Secrets, and our conversation about it on this week‘s episode of my podcast continues my unofficial tradition of marking a new year with the Wakefields. On Episode 150, author Lacie Waldon joins me to discuss what we love to hate and hate to love about SVH. Link to listen in my bio!

#GetMovin Day 19: The Wakefield twins remain #AmericasSweetheart(s) for me - with their blonde hair, blue eyes, and their golden tan in eternally sunny Ca-li-for-nee-yah. I was craycray over these books when I was in highschool.

I couldn't think of any #cookie 🍪 quotes, but then I remembered this scene from Secrets. Project C.C. Cookie? 🙄#QuotsyDec17

Susannah Nothing like a SVH quote! 😂 8y

whatsthEStorey I just had a flashback! I could smell the Love's Baby Soft & taste the root beer Lip Smacker when I read this! 😂 8y

The best thing about this book was that the controlling boyfriend was portrayed as being unreasonable. No "oh, he just loves you too much" crap. It's mentioned that his parents were divorced because his mother had an affair (explaining his distrust) but thankfully that wasn't used as an excuse to justify his behaviour. The message that excessive jealousy & lack of trust aren't part of a healthy relationship is an important one. #NostalgiaNovember

Sace

TK-421 And fortunately, Enid later realizes that she's better off without him because "a relationship that wasn't built on honesty and trust wasn't any kind of relationship at all." 8y

Sace I'm starting to think that SVH was a little more forward thinking in their stories/character reactions. A lot of the Wildfire books I've been reading have a real anti counter-culture vibe to them. So it's a lot of girls are taken with kind of jerky guys and the future is pretty much marriage and family. 8y

TK-421 @RestlessFickleBookSlut I have some Wildfire books still tbr. From what you said, SVH might've been a bit better: Mrs Wakefield has a career & Liz is a writer with goals beyond dating boys & being popular. But Jessica? 😡 I'd rant about how much I loathe her & why she's a terrible role model, but I need WAY more than 451 chars! In both books, Liz teaches her a lesson, but the punishments don't come close to matching the scale of Jessica's schemes 8y

Sace I've still got SVH on my TBR. The Wildfire books seem to try to have modern aspects. Ellynne's mom was in law school and there's been a couple of mentions of women's lib, but overall it's felt like "let's make sure this new gen doesn't get caught up in that hippie culture." 8y

TK-421 @restlessficklebookslut Ahh, gotcha. No anti-hippie vibes in SVH so far... (edited) 8y

TricksyTails SVH... the good ol' days! 😆 8y

@RestlessFickleBookSlut look what I found inside SVH book two! I forgot all about the weird library system I had for keeping track of the books my friends borrowed! I was wondering why there was a piece of tape on the inside front cover of book one 😂 #NostalgiaNovember

Rachbb3 So cool! I loved SVH! 8y

Blair_Reads I'm up to 48 on my currently reading GR shelf so that's one of my goals too! 👍🏻 9y

JenlovesJT47 @jpmcwisemorgan I know what you mean! I really love the show. But when I'm trying to keep up with my Goodreads challenge, I'm not always motivated to read these huge books. Fingers crossed, I'm already 30% in on the GOT audiobook. 😬 9y

JenlovesJT47 @Blair_Reads ok you made me feel a lot better, I thought I was the only one who did that! 😂 Problem is I get a lot of things from the digital library and don't always have time to finish them before they expire. Here's to better reading habits! 🍾 9y

jpmcwisemorgan I put some big books on the list for some of my reading challenges just so I would get through them. 9y

Does anyone ever go back and read books they grew up on? I'm thinking I might bust out the kindle and download some Sweet Valley HIgh and Judy Blume books ! #memories #sweetvalleyhigh #superfudge

Megabooks I've read some Blume and Baby-Sitters Club! 9y

Trina_L @Ebooksandcooks , yes! I've forgotten about Baby-sitters Club :) good stuff ! 9y

Dineen73 I loved SVH!!! Actually, I re-read The Little House series back when my daughter was reading it, and I confess to reading (and giggling) through the Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle books, and still loving them. 9y

Trina_L @Dineen73 SVH was the S**t! Wasn't it fun to go back ?! Oh sweet nostalgia ;) 9y
