Any fans?

I used to read them all the time .... they were a huge trend in P6/P7, I'm not sure I would like my 9 to 11 year old reading them. Though tbf I've never read back over them again.

Just discovered there are 135 books on kindle unlimited, though it seems to start at book 13. KIDNAPPED!!!!! I seem to remember Elizabeth gets kidnapped and its something to do with Bruce?????t was always Bruce wasn't it?

Maybe Jessica was jealous?

I really thought it was unfair that they were called Elizabeth and Jessica, as Jessica was such a beautiful name (and obviously all my future daughters would be named variations of it) and Elizabeth was sooooo boring like my Granny and the Queen lol

I used to love these, the babysitters club and point horror books!

I was addicted to sweet valley kids, twins and high. Also loved sweet dreams and babysitters club.

Anyone read the saddle club?

Given that in P7 I was reading Flowers in the Attic, Sweet Valley High seems wholesome! But I'll definitely investigate these.

Loved the books and the TV show too😁

I used to love these books. I remember there was a tv series too.

I discovered this during lockdown and worked my way through them! Just wish the first few were there.

Whaleandsnail6 · 08/07/2024 20:35

I loved sweet valley teens! Might have to get my kindle and see if they are on there..... Also maybe babysitter club whilst I'm there for the sake of nostalgia! Used to love walking down to the village library and seeing which books were there

I'd forgotten about Sweet Dreams. I loved them too

I loved these books! Did you have Sweet Dreams books too? I wish I hadn't given them all away now.
