Here are some memorable books from my childhood I would like to revisit.
Wow! So many memories. I don't think I would have survived Jr. High without the Blossom Valley and Sweet Valley High books. What were some of your childhood favorites?
I loved Trixie Belden! And Nancy Drew and Robin Kane and the Hardy Boys...you see a theme here. Love that you used the vintage covers. Very nice list. I went to my teen years to come up with mine and had a great time doing it. :-)
I read a TON of the Sweet Valley High books as well at that age and loved them but I wasn't sure they would hold up... I listen to a podcast where they read the first book in the series and pointed out all these unhealthy self-image and sexist things in it which doesn't surprise me. My real reluctance though is just that I don't enjoy contemporary YA anymore so not sure if I would re-capture my love for them. Awesome list that brought back many memories!
