Heaven | V.C. Andrews

Just when I thought I couldn't hate a character as much as I hated Luke Casteel, along comes Kitty, and changes my mind!

Did a final final bookhaul! I bought the Dollanganger series and the Casteel series by V.C. Andrews! I remember reading both series when I was in my early teens, so I figured, I was long overdue for another readthrough!

ShyBookOwl Oh nostalgia. I still have a small collection of VC Andrews. I was obsessed when I was about 12, and looking back I'm like.. 🤔, those stories are really messed up for kids! Lol! Tagged book in particular!

Celeste

Nerdy_Bookworm I may go and buy the rest of the V.C. Andrews books my library book sale has just because she's one of my favorite authors. I think they had a copy of Celeste, so I will definitely be reading that! :) 5y

Yes, I read the trashy, scandalous Andrews books as a middle schooler. Yes, I enjoyed the heck out of them.

I am not ashamed, and now I‘m thinking a reread may be in order. 😂

Also, googling ‘books in heaven‘ sent me on a weird trip that I immediately navigated away from. Wowza. 😇

BookwormM I loved them 6y

ErikasMindfulShelf I read Flowers in the Attic in 5th grade. 6y

DGRachel This cracks me up. I can‘t believe how many of us read Flowers in the Attic and other VC Andrews books starting around 5th grade and into middle school. I tease my mother all the time about how it was great that she never censored what I read, but that I kind of wish she hadn‘t let me read these when I was that young. In her defense, she‘s never read them and had no idea what I was reading. 😳 6y

Chrissyreadit I remember this....@DGRachel you are so right! I did not think I was a helicopter mom until now- Luckily my 14 year old set me straight and said flat out "don't censor my reading". 6y

Jerdencon @DGRachel I say exactly the same thing all the time! My mother was not a reader and never censored me! I was reading all sorts of inappropriate stuff at 10! As a mom of a 9 year old boy I try not to censor too much but thankfully he hasn't picked up anything too crazy yet! (edited) 6y

batsy I read the heck out of VC Andrews books, too 😁 I thought I haven't read this one but I remember the Casteels 😆 6y

Reagan I definitely started those when I was a preteen. I read a great article about giving kids free reign over their reading, my 6 year old reads a lot and I told her she can read anything in the house. I am curious what she gravitates towards. She read 3 pages of the new Craig Davidson. 6y

KristinaRay I was kind of obsessed with V.C. Andrews...I read 3 of her series in Jr. high. The Flowers in the Attic series(the Dollangers), the Heaven series( the Casteels), and The Dawn series (the Cutlers). I started off with My Sweet Audrina which Is the only one I‘ve reread as an adult. 6y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I read them too!!! If I didn‘t already have so many to read I would read them all again!!! 6y

Scurvygirl I loved these! So dark and twisted. 6y

Rcoco Guilty pleasure 6y

sprainedbrain @DGRachel @Jerdencon My mom gave me free reign at the library, but I remember she used to pick up my books sometimes and shake her head a little... like when I read The Amityville Horror at 11 and couldn‘t sleep for a week. 😂 6y

Chili Yup! V.C. Andrews was big in jr. high. 6y

sprainedbrain @Reagan-reads @Chrissyreadit I‘ve always let my kids read what they want from my shelves... of course, the more risqué stuff I usually had on my kindle, so my small kids didn‘t have the option to page through Fifty Shades. ?. Now that the older kids are teenagers, though, I don‘t censor their reading at all. 6y

Chrissyreadit @sprainedbrain I had my reading privileges removed by asking my mom what something meant. I was in elementary school and reading Forever. I did not realize I had limited my kids until my son made that comment! 6y

vkois88 I need to get some of her books 6y

overtheedge I still enjoy her stories, and series! 6y

When I was a kid I read every VC Andrews book I could get my hands on. So creepy! So scandalous! I read this one way back when and decided to reread it for fun, to see if I enjoy it now as much as I did then. And you know what? I did. What a great guilty pleasure! V.C. Andrews was not really a great writer or an artist, but I can't put her books down regardless.
