Perfect Summer | Francine Pascal, Kate William

pick

The first #SweetValleyHighSuperEdition makes for a fun summer adventure with a group biking the CA coast! Mr. Collins & Ms. Dalton chaperone, but have recently broken up— with, to Lila‘s horror, Nora back with her father. An LA stop adds wannabe delinquent Courtney to the group— a girl with a plan that hinges on breaking up Todd & Liz to get home to her mohawked love. Funny with pranks & plenty of adventure, even the principal‘s nephew is a hero!

LMJenkins Why do the “high schoolers” on the cover look like they‘re 30? 😂 2mo

TorieStorieS @LMJenkins I know! I‘m not sure if it‘s just because the models were that much older or if the styles really made that much of a difference— but I feel like some of these “high schoolers” look like they should be the tenured teachers!! 🤣 2mo

JenlovesJT47 This is one of my faves. 2w

TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 I am surprised this is a favorite… or maybe not, as #ToddIsAnAss here! 🤣 2w

JenlovesJT47 I think because it reminds me of reading it over the summer at my Grandma‘s when I was 11-12 years old. 2w

TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 This is a good one, for sure! I have some of the younger ones that really remind me of my aunt and my grandmother in particular— but the super editions for high school rekindle family road trips because I wanted to bring “longer” ones for the car! The Secret Diaries were a staple for years! 2w

JenlovesJT47 Yes! For me it was the sagas. I read those so many times. I remember taking them with me to doctors appointments with my mom. #beprepared 2w

TorieStorieS @JenlovesJT47 I uncovered some vacation pictures of me reading these but I can‘t figure out exactly what book it is… old film doesn‘t let you zoom in enough, hahaha! I still go everywhere with my book! 2w

JenlovesJT47 Same! I have thousands downloaded on my phone 😬 2w

Librarybelle Other than the ending with the dog, I liked it. I think this shows that Holmes is not the only one who can solve a situation - Mrs. Toller and the suitor working together. 2y

IndoorDame @Librarybelle i agree about the dog, those scenes are always so hard to read! But in general I really liked this one. My major complaint is actually how painfully naive Miss Hunter was 2y

Librarybelle @IndoorDame She was so naive! 2y

See All 13 Comments

Aimeesue This is one of my favorites, illustrating, as it does, the changing roles and relationships of both women and animals in society. (edited) 2y

CogsOfEncouragement At the end, Watson comments that Sherlock had no further interest in Miss Hunter after the mystery was solved. Then he immediately updates the reader that she has a wonderful job. I think we are meant to read between the lines that Sherlock set her up in that position and didn't brag about doing it. Watson doesn't know how much Sherlock did indeed care about what happened to Miss Hunter. How else does she go from no prospects to an excellent job? 2y

dabbe @CogsOfEncouragement Excellent point. I kinda got the feeling that Watson also hoped she and Sherlock would get together, but since Irene Adler is forever known as THE woman in SH's life, that was never a possibility. 2y

dabbe After reading this, I can't stop thinking about the horrid son of Rucastle, who enjoys “giving pain to any creature weaker than himself [for his] amusement, and he shows quite remarkable talent in planning the capture of mice, little birds, and insects.“ Is it me, or is this kid a serial killer in the making? Yikes. 😱 2y

dabbe @Aimeesue I also enjoyed the fast-paced action, though not the animal abuse. 2y

dabbe @IndoorDame “Painfully“ naive is spot-on! 2y

kelli7990 I liked this story. 2y

CrystalE02 It was okay. Not my favorite, I was okay with it until the dog part. I can't handle that. She was so naive it was annoying. 2y

dabbe @kelli7990 It was one of the more fast-paced ones, wasn't it? 2y

dabbe @CrystalE02 And the next story is about a horse named “Silver Blaze.“ I don't remember it very well, but based on how animals have been treated so far, we should, as Scar would say, #beprepared. 🐾 2y

Hanging up my entire shoe collection to dry in the rain … like a normal person.

Totally didn‘t say to myself, “this rain won‘t last” and put on another load… that I then also pegged out in heavier rain… that would be ABSURD.

👀

slategreyskies I used to have purple shoes like that. I loved them. I‘d forgotten about them until I saw this photo. 3y

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @slategreyskies, purple shoes are 😍 3y

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Lizpixie 😅 ☔️ you guys have had enough rain for the year! So far the forecast is clear tomorrow but who trusts the forecast? (edited) 3y

Lizpixie Yeah, said we were gonna have mostly blue skies here today, have had 4 thunderstorms so far, heavy rain and even hail. Not trusting the meteorologists right now #beprepared🌂 3y

gossamerchild I figure I make it rain by putting my clothes out to dry on the clothesline :-) 3y

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @gossamerchild, that makes me feel like a weather witch 😂 3y

Slowing down in reading this and other things because being overset by wildfires and high winds and crazy times...

SamAnne Ah, a skyline I know well. 5y

MargaretPinardAuthor @SamAnne yeah except it‘s looking scarily eerie right now!! You still in pdx area? Mt Hood is barely a shadow this morning. 🥺 5y

SamAnne @MargaretPinardAuthor live in Spokane now. Grew up on the OR coast, graduated from Reed and spent few more years living there. Such fond memories of Portland in the late 80s and early 90s! Such a great town then! 5y

SamAnne @MargaretPinardAuthor and still a cool city! But I cherish the time there before it got so big. 5y

MargaretPinardAuthor @SamAnne ah, Reed! Yeah, nostalgia seems to be the dominant mode even for Portlanders still here/ just arrived 😂 5y

The Drunken Botanist | Amy Stewart

I left the house without my book and now we're waiting almost 20 minutes at the Metro on our way home! 😲 Oh wait, I left a library book in my purse. #NetteReadsinOddPlaces #NetteReadsOddly

Crinoline_Laphroaig Thank goodness for book in bag! Yesterday I got to the gym and realized I forgot to download book to my phone. Fortunately I had a couple of short stories I could listen to again 7y

jmtrivera @Crinoline_Laphroaig I did have one on my phone, but my battery has been going quickly today. That's why book lovers keep books in their bags all the time! It never hurts to be prepared! 🤣 7y

Crinoline_Laphroaig @jmtrivera We have an old mini van that doesn't have bluetooth. It's what I drive when the weather is bad and I don't want to risk the new truck. I keep a CD copy of Pride & Prejudice and also Outlander in it so I always have something to listen to! #beprepared 7y

jmtrivera @Crinoline_Laphroaig Genius! 💡 7y
