pickIt would not be Christmas without crazy Margo & her diabolical plan to kill Liz & take over her identity. 😆 This is my all-time fave SV book & I realized I hadn‘t done a reread in 6 years. Blasphemy! I never get tired of this no matter how many times I read it. 5⭐️ 80 points

pickThe twins are hosting a Christmas Eve party & Jess wants everything to be perfect. But all of her ideas get shot down & Liz wants an old fashioned Christmas. Jess draws Liz‘s name for Secret Santa but she spends all her money on a new outfit & decides to steal Liz‘s Secret Santa gift for Lila & say it‘s for her. The whole party is a disaster & Jess wishes that Christmas will never come. She gets her wish when she wakes up the next day & it‘s ⬇️
This 90s/2000s-inspired anime spread is an absolute delight. I‘m pretty sure I know most of these 😆 #Nostalgia #Anime
pickThis is a fun SVH Christmas book. Todd is still in Vermont & is coming to see Liz over the break. But she‘s not sure if they still have that spark anymore. Meanwhile, Suzanne Devlin, who terrorized Liz & her friends the last time she visited, is coming for Christmas. She says she‘s changed & is sorry & wants to make it up to everyone, but Jess doesn‘t buy it. She comes up with some pretty mean pranks to try to get her to leave. But Suzanne has ⬇️
pickThe twins are tired of being treated like little kids. They‘re invited to a party with both middle schoolers & high schoolers & their brother Steven is so embarrassed by them. So he tells the Parentals that it‘s going to be a wild & crazy party, then the twins are forbidden to go. They end up at a Christmas carnival & make a wish at a wishing well to be grown up. They wake up the next morning in the bodies of college-aged women. They get jobs ⬇️
pickWell this is a 7-year-old‘s fantasy come to life — the twins get trapped in a huge department store on Christmas Eve. Some Home Alone hijinks ensue when they cross paths with a thief. They trap him in the toy department then are rescued just before midnight. Fun fun. 5⭐️ 80 points

pickThis is another super edition I haven‘t read since I was a kid & it was a lot of fun! SVMS‘s choral group is going to Washington, D.C., to perform in a music competition in December. The twins cover for their friend, Anna, who can‘t sing a lick but wants to go to D.C. to meet her long lost sister. Jess & Anna sneak out to the Australian embassy (where her sister lives) & catch a spy who‘s threatening national security. Because of course they do.😆
pickA fun Christmas fantasy where Jessica‘s toy elf, a present from Great Aunt Helen, comes to life and tasks the Snoopers club with finding a missing magic bell that belongs on Santa‘s sleigh. Would that we all had such chill parents when we were 7 years old. 😆 4⭐️ 80 points

pickThis was one of my favorites growing up & I forgot how much fun it is. It‘s the Sweet Valley spin on It‘s A Wonderful Life & it is hilarious. Nostalgia at its finest! What would happen if Elizabeth had never been born? Well, brace yourselves: the Wakefields are divorced, Steven has a tattoo (😳😦), the Unicorn club is now known as the Sharks 🦈 (😅) and they smoke cigarettes. Denny & Sarah are dead, Jessica is unpopular & unfashionable. ⬇️
