pickThe first #SweetValleyTwins book! Now in 6th grade, I remember this series a lot better than the #SVK one, so I am even more excited for this part of my #SweetValleyReRead project! Somehow, Steven isn‘t only two grades ahead but is a high school freshman! In this first one, Liz struggles with finding her independence from Jessica, leading her to start the Sixers, a newspaper while Jess joins the prestigious Unicorn Club for the prettiest girls!

dabbe I just read Francine Pascal's obit in the NYT. She was 92 years old! These were favorites of my students, especially in the 90s. 😊 3mo

TorieStorieS @ShyBookOwl I know!! It took me some time, but I tracked down the whole series— so while some earlier ones are re-reads, I have some completely new ones to look forward to as well! 3mo
TorieStorieS @dabbe I just saw that— 92 is a long life where she impacted many readers! In my grad program for library school, one of our guest lecturers discussed how often these books are still used for teaching English as a second language because the reading level and the cultural references. I doubt that it‘s true anymore considering these are getting harder to find, but I have always loved the whole series! 3mo
TorieStorieS @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I couldn‘t bring myself to actually put the shaving cream in the ice cream scoop for the picture! 🤣 3mo
JenlovesJT47 So sad, a huge part of my childhood has died. 💚 3mo
TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 I know!! But I am glad that I am in the midst of this rereading project— I didn‘t expect it to be so timely.😬 3mo
JenlovesJT47 Same! I‘m going to get to my stack of SVHSY books this week. Btw where did you get that notebook?! 😍 3mo
TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 I think I got it on Etsy! I made one on Shutterfly, too, but it was just a collage of the Christmas covers! I will have to look for that one once this one is full! 3mo
