Sweet Valley 10 Years On

At the risk of being outed as a closet Sweet Valley High fan, I did happen to note that the long awaited 'Sweet Valley Confidential' (possibly also named 'Sweet Valley - 10 Years On') will be out early next year. Do I buy it anonymously on line or do I march in loud and proud to my local (non-snobby/non-judgmental) book shop?

OMG! That excerpt has SEX referenced in it!!!!!

I was so in love with Todd. Ruined real-life boys for me, I swear. Every kiss was The Perfect Kiss.

Sigh.

Yep I will be there too.. What is more worrying is remembering who they all are 20 years later

StealthPolarBear · 01/09/2010 20:34

ooh I used to read these
thought this thread would be for our predictions, dont know if I actually want to read the books!

ElizabethWakefield · 01/09/2010 20:31

I'll be buying it Grin

I still own and sometimes read Blush the sweet valley sagas, which go back in history from when the second son of an earl (!) comes over from Wakefield, Yorkshire to start a new life in America.

Ahhh Elizabeth and Jessica 5 foot 6? 8? long wavy blonde hair, blue green eyes the colour of the pacific ocean... Elizabeth the quiet studious one. Jessica the outgoing popular one...

Yup, think I may have read one too many of those in my time!!!

Funny, if I hadn't read the books when I was younger there is no way I'd read the new one now Wink

I'll also join you at the bookshop! I used to love SVH!

ILovePonyo · 01/09/2010 19:43

Pfft, the twins. Elizabeth and Jessica, I'm not ashamed Grin

ILovePonyo · 01/09/2010 19:42

How I used to love SVH when I was young, probably about 15years+ ago now!

Don't be ashamed, loud and proud I say!

Is it about the twins 10 years on then?

ShinyAndNew · 01/09/2010 19:42

Surely everyone was a Sweet Valley High fan at some point?

domesticsluttery · 01/09/2010 19:41

Oh I loved SVH! I though it was so glamorous when I was about 11 or 12. Not entirely sure that I would be so keen on it in my 30s though...

Ooh I'll join you at the bookshop!
