Hello, Sweet Valley.
In honor(preparation?) of my upcoming wedding, I purchased and read the SVU Steven's wedding extravaganza triology(Here Comes the Bride), and I was wondering-- is Billie ever seen or heard from again? It seems weird that she was such a huge character in both the high school and college series to just spirit her away to Spain, never to be mentioned. Any updates on her? |

| Honest Sweet Valley titles |
[Apr. 27th, 2012|01:03 am] |
A discussion of a misreading of Sweet Life titles (Too Many Diets!) got me thinking that we should retitle some of the Sweet Valley books to more accurately reflect their content. I'm not very good with paint shop, but one obvious one sprung to mind.
Graphic makers, post your own in the comments! |

Covers of "Sweet Valley: Sweet Life"!
Ooh. I hope that dark haired girl is Lila! (Because I want a book about Lila; not because I'm sexually attracted to that eye or anything.) |

| SVH TV Episode 4.11: Rumble in the Valley |
[Apr. 6th, 2012|09:38 pm] |
Finally, the war in a fictitious Southern Californian public school district comes to its inevitable conclusion -- with a good old-fashioned rumble. Before we go any further, some backstory for those who might have not read the first two recaps: Sweet Valley hates Big Mesa. Big Mesa hates Sweet Valley. Todd Wilkins hates Christian Gorman. Christian Gorman loves Jessica Wakefield. Elizabeth Wakefield claims to love Devon Whitelaw, but really loves Todd Wilkins. Devon Whitelaw hates Todd Wilkins. Devon Whitelaw also hates Christian Gorman. Devon Whitelaw hates everybody, basically. And hellobrisvegas loves loves loves these freakin' episodes. Also, at some point in the episodes preceding this, Todd yelled. At nobody in particular. I like to think he yelled at life, just to show it he could. 
( Last week, we saw Devon cement himself as this season's Big Bad by grabbing Liz's arm and refusing to let Todd and Christian sign a peace treaty. This week, he totally redeems himself in my eyes. )

| Wikipedia - laughing mercilessly in the face of Sweet Valley. |
[Mar. 11th, 2012|06:25 pm] |
A reader recently posted on my blog this little gem, discovered while trawling through through the character descriptions on Sweet Valley's wikipedia page.
"Winston Egbert, the class clown, had a major crush on Jessica, mainly during the first few books. He dates a girl named Mandy Farmer, who later moves away, and then begins dating Maria Santelli, a popular cheerleader. In college he experiences a striking shift in personality, sparked by the death of his girlfriend, Poppy. Winston begins dressing in all black, wearing lipstick, and insisting that his friends and professors refer to him as "Lord Vlad the Evil."
Now I am no SVU fanatic, but really? Pretty sure it's an ex-ghostwriter having the last laugh...
I just had to share it on here, ['cause I'm pretty sure you guys rack up a few more daily hits]

| The Sweet Life |

"The Sweet Life" (SVC continuation) will be available on the Kindle too! Amazon finally has a listing up for it. Here's the link.
I need to get an ereader before May 1. I already know I'm going to buy every installment of this series, even though it's bound to be terrible. I just can't stop! (I know everyone in this community must understand... after all, isn't that why we're here?)
Also, they have a description of this awesome-sounding series:
From Francine Pascal, creator of the bestselling Sweet Valley High series and author of the NY Times bestselling Sweet Valley Confidential, comes the continuing adventures of beautiful blonde twins Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield in an exciting new six-part e-serial, The Sweet Life.
Three years after the events of Sweet Valley Confidential, Elizabeth and Jessica Wakefield are back in Sweet Valley and inseparable once more. Things are looking up for both twins: Elizabeth is a star reporter at the LA Tribune with a popular blog, and Jessica’s PR career is on the fast-track. But while the professional lives of the Wakefield sisters are secure, their personal lives may be in jeopardy. Jessica, now a mother, finds that managing parenthood, marriage, and a job is harder than she expected, while Elizabeth and Bruce must face a scandal that could strengthen their bond…or tear them apart for ever.
Meanwhile, life goes on in Sweet Valley. Families are made, hearts are broken, and…Lila Fowler is a reality TV star? Some things never change.
The Sweet Life takes Elizabeth and Jessica Wakefield through a new chapter in their well-chronicled and beloved fictional lives. This dramatic first installment and cliff-hanger ending will leave readers breathless for the next episode. |
