Welcome to Litsy!

Somehow, this is the first #SweetValleyThanksgiving for the #SVT series (I think there were 6 in SVK!)! It‘s also Cousin Kelly‘s series debut, and a return for cousins Robin & Stacey. Here all the sisters— the twins, Robin & Stacey & even Alice, Nancy & Laura— constantly bicker & fight. Steven wants family gossip & we learn where Jessica‘s scheming side really comes from! Oddly, Kelly used to live in #SweetValley, though she didn‘t in 2nd grade!

Elizabeth befriends the new exchange student from Santa Dora, Arthur Castle. She learns he is really the crown prince of Santa Dora but he doesn‘t want anyone to know & swears Liz to secrecy. He just wants to be a normal kid for a few weeks. Meanwhile, Jess finds out & spills the beans to the Unicorns, & soon the whole school knows. He is convinced Liz told everybody & won‘t speak to her. Jess finally fesses up in the end & they all make up, & ⬇️

I haven‘t done an alternate cover of the day in awhile, but this is one of my faves & I just couldn‘t resist. 😆😅

I love Jessica shenanigans & this one is full of them. Jess gets stuck doing the water balloon booth at the school fair so she wrangles her way out of it into Liz‘s babysitting job, & Liz takes her place at the booth. Much to her dismay the kids she is watching are little terrors. Liz saves the day with a hilarious twin switch which has the kids convinced Jess has magical powers. And Jess gets payback later in the form of water balloons 🎈. 4.5⭐️

It‘s April 1st & the twins have decided to do something a little different this year. They usually do a twin switch every year & everyone expects it. Jess convinces Liz that this year, they shouldn‘t switch & just be themselves. Problem is nobody believes them. Liz has a very bad day as she continues to get mistaken for Jess & that means she gets punished for Jess‘s mistakes as well. This was a lot of fun. Poor Liz!

This one was new to me & so adorable! The twins have to earn their own money if they want to go visit Great Aunt Helen, so they decide to start a dog-walking business. Jess shirks her responsibilities but Ken, who loves dogs but isn‘t allowed to have one, is thrilled to help. They get an opportunity to earn more money when Mr. Quincy brings his dog, Joe, for them to watch for a week. Joe is a Samoyed & is covered in cuts & bruises. The twins &⬇️

Patrick Morris has very strict parents who‘ve gotten even more strict lately. His parents forbid him to join the school band, so he practices the saxophone at Casa Wakefield in his free time. He makes the band but his parents still refuse to let him play. He decides to run away, & Winston & the twins help. Eventually he goes home & learns his dad lost his job, which is why they didn‘t want him joining the band. But all‘s well that ends well in SV.

I got way behind on my reviews last week! This one is all about Belinda “Billie” Layton, who is a tomboy at heart & loves playing sports. She‘s out of sorts because her mother is about to have a baby & her dad doesn‘t spend as much time with her anymore. Don‘t worry, Saint Liz will help! 😆

It‘s the first midwinter break for #SVT & while Lila heads to Paris, the Wakefields head to the Triple Z Ranch. Liz‘s looking forward to the horses & Jessica the boys. But a boy even turns Liz‘s head— a boy who looks exactly like the one Jessica runs into! They vow to never fight over boys again once they realize the cute boy has an identical twin! Full of twin switching hilarity, but Steven and Rocket steal the show in the last day‘s race!

I can‘t believe it‘s been 16 years since I read this #FrighteningFour miniseries for the first time! In the #SVT series‘ 7th haunted mansion, the Riccoli family has moved into the old Sullivan place. With five kinds under ten, & a husband still working back in Sacramento, the twins start raking in the babysitting money along with Amy, Winston & Todd. But with dire warnings from the creepy gardener & nightmares with real scratches, this is spooky!
