  2. Oohhh...I think I read some Elizabeth books when I was in middle school! That cover is SO ringing some bells! Obviously I didn't keep them, because once I found my paranormal books, I stopped reading contemps, but I so read that one for a time or two!

    Here's my Tuesday Post

    Have a GREAT day!

    1. It was amazing -- Elizabeth ran away and moved to London where she became a scullery maid!

  3. I never read the Sweet Valley High books, but I remember the TV show a little bit, my sisters used to watch it all the time! I used to read a lot of super girly books too, my reading tastes have changed so much over the years! Happy Reading! :)

    1. I remembered you loved SVU too -- I never read any Sweet Valley High but loved SVU and the series after, Elizabeth, where she ran away to London and became a maid! I would seriously re-read them all!!

  8. This is fantastic! I vaguely remember Sleepover Friends, I feel like I may have read a few of those. One of my friends was obsessed with Sweet Valley (Twins, High, AND U) but I could never get into them, though I read a few. And my brother LOVED Goosebumps! GREAT list, this is such a blast from the past!

  9. Omg, I feel like I must've missed out on some great childhood reads here! I don't even think I read a single one when I was little. >_< Thanks for stopping by my list!

  10. I almost put the Fear Street books on my list. I'm not sure why I was so obsessed with them in middle school since I'm a huge wimp when it comes to horror. And yeah for Bunnicula!

I love this trope, sub-genre, setting: My Best Friend's Brother/My Brother's Best Friend

I Love This Trope, Sub-Genre, Setting is a new feature on my blog in which I discuss a trope, sub-genre or setting that I love and tell you about books that are shining examples of said trope, sub-genre or setting.  Feel free to play along and please let me know about your favorite books in this realm and whether you like this trope, sub-genre and/or setting as much as I do!

I have to confess that I love this trope in nearly all of its iterations!  I have a younger brother so I never got to crush on any of his friends but it's fun reading about that and it's equally as fun as reading about falling for your best friend's brother -- instant sisters!  I know there are a ton

Conversations With Myself (& Hopefully You): ARC Greed

This discussion is inspired by my feelings lately when reading and reviewing ARCs versus the feelings I had when I requested those same ARCs: ARC GREED ARC greed -- have we all experienced this?  What I even mean by this term is that I sometimes feel overwhelmed when looking at Netgalley and Edelweiss and  I sometimes over-request, if only because I can!  I get greedy when I see all the new and shiny ARCs available and I will sometimes request things that have even a hint of interest for me, not necessarily focusing only on those books that I really, really want.  The problem with this over-requesting and with getting greedy with requesting (and receiving) ARCs is when it comes time to read and review these ARCs.  Last month and this month, I have looked at my ARCs with a release date in each respective month and I just haven't wanted to read any of them.  I need to start asking myself -- If I was immediately approved for this ARC, would I read it right thi
